Jerry Jones as general manager is part of the problem. Stephen Jones as executive vice-president and director of player personnel is part of the problem. Charlotte and Jerry Jones Jr. would be part of the problem if they were direct contributors for running football operations.
Certain front office executives are part of the problem. Certain coaches are part of the problem. Certain players are part of the problem. All three have been identified and 'fixed' every year, albeit not all at once and never quickly. That said, Jerry Jones and Stephen Jones have never been identified and 'fixed'.
A solution can always be found for a football problem. The problem will always exist if every problem is never addressed.
Send a message? Jerry Jones will eventually get around to sending one on his own sweet time. He always has. Sometimes, the eventual message is exactly what some onlookers have wanted or even begged for a long time. Unfortunately, that is not the solution.
A solution will begin to take shape if-and-when Jerry Jones hires or promotes someone as general manager, drops his self-designation of president and gifts himself new titles of Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. A solution starts if-and-when Stephen Jones adopts the title of president and allow a true general manager to either assume his director of player personnel responsibilities or let that person hire someone qualified to be one.
Essentially? Do what the Robert Kraft family figured out decades ago.
A solution will not be found until those two steps have finally been taken. Until then, keep wanting Jerry Jones to send eventual messages that have not fixed his football problem for nearly thirty years. One day, he will deliver exactly what some people constantly demand from him--even though it is not the entire message he should be sending to himself and everyone else.
Edit: Jerry Jones will eventually deliver a message to the field, the sidelines or both. On the other hand, the only message he will continue sending for the Ring of Honor is his middle finger. And no one must know sign language to understand that particular message, lol.
