To add to this, and I know it won't be popular, but I think this mind set goes all the way back to Deion.
His practice habits (or lack thereof), film study (or lack thereof) and team before me (or lack thereof) is well documented, and for some reason ($$$$ perhaps?) mesmerized Jerry, and he's been enamored with "big names" ever since. Jerry sees marketing, PR and merchandising dollars with these type players and he thinks they help. T.O.'s jersey sales numbers don't help him to see otherwise.
Jerry won his last Super Bowl with Deion, so he thinks it works, but what he fails to see (or refuses to do so) is that Deion was added to an already successful team with established stars. In the end the Deion mentality soiled younger players, killed the cap and ultimately killed the team.
The only real star this team had when he signed T.O. was Parcells, and it took him one season to get his fill.
Yes, these guys have talent, and yes, they add money to Jerry's wallet, but to date, they haven't brought the team any hardware.
It's time to get rid of the mind set and these type of players, and it's time to find TEAM players.

He has brought with him a culture of selfishness. And he is the poster boy for it.
And that type of culture permeates the Cowboys - from the owner on down.
