Scouting is in the Jones family blood

[dogberry]

Jones family will rival the Howards and the Bene Gesserits in its successful multi-generation breeding program!

He was the driving force behind the selection of Downs. We were going punter without his input.

 

[9darter]

Three or four years ago he claimed to be a football scout on his LinkedIn IIRC.

Looks like we just give job titles out like candy if its a former player or family member. But I bet every team in the league does this.

One of the first things Mark Walter did after buying the Lakers was fire the Buss kids with phony jobs and big fat pay checks. I admire the heck out of him for that. If only that could happen here.

Off topic but Netflix’s Running Point might be a snapshot into how the Jones kids run the Cowboys when dad dies. LOL.

Every time I see this kid, I think of a flathead catfish.

What's up, bros?

So I was doing my usual a few minutes ago. Going over to the team website and admiring the roster, when I decided to check out the staff to see if BT Jordan is an official staff member. (He is not or at least isn't included there)

That's when I saw this. ...(and if this place wasn't tailored toward 5 year olds there would have been several profanities just then)

Now maybe I've been out of the loop and this is news to nobody else but I was today year's old when I found out that little dweeb that's been hanging around the war room for too many years, Charlotte's son, the guy former Zone member boozeman (RIP) dubbed Spalding many years ago, is an actual official scout on the staff. College and Pro. Like he sits in on meetings and pretends he's a legitimate talent evaluator.

Why wasn't I told about this?




I guess "my mom's mom is your wife" was pretty impressive on the resume.

Did you know? I'm holding you accountable. He's being groomed for a future GM role isn't he? You can tell me.

Is there no end to the complete nonsense of this infernal family?

Wow. Does anyone work harder than the Jones children - and now grandchildren - to get where they are in life?

I’m sure other organizations are lining up to hire Spalding.

Any kind of organizational health study or research will tell you that rampant nepotism in a large organization like a professional sports team is a disaster to the organization’s performance and morale.

Jerry runs the most profitable sports franchise in the world like it’s a family restaurant or furniture store. It’s one thing to hire all your kids and grands if you’re running “Jones and Sons Plumbing”. It’s a disaster in a large organization like the Cowboys that is supposed to be merit based system.

This is why we are doomed, and NOBODY should find any reason to eat the cheese every year.

Everyone at the top of this organization have lifetime guaranteed jobs regardless of performance or results.

What could possibly go wrong with a system like that?

Boozeman seems to be a fitting name for him.

Welcome back montary based aristocracy. Hail unregulated capitalism.

As a recruiter, Anderson is always on the lookout for new talent. When asked about the qualities he seeks in a player, he explains, “It all depends on different things. When we are looking for receivers, you need them to be guys who have quick feet and late hands… And then, for offensive and defensive linemen, we look at their thick lower legs to see how strong their base is and make sure they don’t get pushed back easily.”

Loosen up the likes, John.

 

[Kingofholland]

Though it's funny to see that, in all seriousness this isn't that uncommon in any business with children entering the same field as their parents. Atleast he didn't give him McClay's job and he starts more entry level. In fact as you look down the list there are a number of familiar last names with family ties to football.

Now as for young Anderson, would he have been here without the connection? Probably not, but doesn't mean he can't learn to contribute.

 

[jazzcat22]

As long as he is better than Broaddus. What is the issue?

 

[DZSierra]

Nice thing living in NC is I have no clue who the guy is nor do I think I want to know LOL

Ironically enough, the guy for working for a pro football team is almost a ghost online per his name (which could be a good thing for Jerry) LOL

 

[zrinkill]

Waiting for the Stallone Bros, blueblood, and jazz to tell us how things like this happen on every team.

 

[StarW]

I read some article a couple of years ago where he takes credit for discovering CeeDee Lamb

Yeah, he was a surprise R1 talent absolutely NO ONE was talking about...

 

[wecasa]

I feel like they missed an opportunity with good old Todd Williams job title. Football Admin/football operations would have created a better acronym. Todd Williams, VP FAFO...
