Not sure what you mean what has changed? For starters the results in the sense of putting together multiple double digit wins seasons and playoff appearances consecutively in a row which is a hard feat in the nfl. The counter argument to that is “but but but no Super Bowls” which obviously is the goal but also the low hanging fruit/lowest denominator argument.
It’s extremely hard to win in this league, putting together rosters that give you multiple cracks at the apple Highly increases your odds of busting through and winning the whole thing- we are there right now and I do believe we will bust through, hopefully this season but certainly trending in the right direction becoming a team you can count on to be in the playoffs consistently which is a sign of a strong organization.
In terms of organizational hierarchy to answer your question, I don’t believe like many here do that jerry has such a stranglehold on drafts and other decisions- i feel in many ways he’s like the drunk uncle who hosts the parties, the family let has the floor but the meat and the potatoes of the decisions are made by will and staff, sold to Stephen , who then sells Jerry on ideas and let’s him talk like their his own. Sure, Jerry will meddle sometimes but he’s nowhere near the hindrance this board and casual fans make him out to be.
“Super bowl or bust” is a bumper sticker slogan….it hasn’t been a real thing for us for a long time or really in this league for awhile for most teams with a few exceptions. Jerry deserves criticism for that but for the last half decade the organization has been ran very well and for the past decade or so has been run good- the older Jerry gets the more he’s been open to other voice imo and we are seeing residual effects of this now.
