I said it before and I will stick with it. The team will be in better hands when Stephen has complete control of the FO.

What's fraudulent about Stephen? Are you judging him based on a radio show? Or the product on the field? And if its the product on the field are you going to judge him for the 13 win season or this 2 game season he's currently on?

He got the job because he existed. He's kept the job because he still breathes. He's a fraud. He would never be where he is without the nepotism.

He's a fraud because of who he's related too lol? This is a new twist in the Jones hate I must admit lol. So basically every owner in the league is a fraud lol. Most inherited their money from a relative and got their jobs because of a relative or friend.

Romo truly makes the other WR's look good. Any thoughts around the League or in any other fan base that Romo doesn't make others better should be silenced now.

Romo made the Cowboys go, now the Cowboys have no show !!![/quote]

You just said something. Tony has defined "making your teammates better" .....for life.

Attention, peons (those without a filthy rich daddy)....the personnel is set. That is all. ~doritos bag ruffle~

This team has been notorious for churning the roster over the last 3 years. Now you're going to look at a random quote out of context (the sentence focus is on players being better and making plays vs bringing in new guys) and ignore reality?

Classic.

"There's a reason they make 20 (million) and Matt Cassel makes a million and a half" - Stephen Jones on recent losses


and for the reason why you won't draft a QB?

Yes. That is the "twist". If you get hired for a job you have no qualifications for and don't have to perform in that job to keep it simply because of your bloodlines, you are a fraud.

Congrats, Stephen. For existing.

So by your definition how does that make him a fraud? A fraud would be he's attempting to be somethings or attempting to deceive. I'll admit I'm not sure if you are trolling or serious. I've seen Jerry hate. First I've seen of Stephen hate or him being a fraud. Especially since this organization has been ran far better since the "fraud" took more control.

Did you just ask how it makes someone a fraud at their job if they have no qualifications for the position and don't need to perform to keep it? They had to have their dad hire and retain them for simply existing?

Tell me you're not honestly confused by what I'm saying because if you are I am worried for your general welfare.

Stephen is a fatter, younger version of Jerry. There is absolutely no difference between the two in terms of football acumen. That fallacy was created by homers who had to finally admit the owner was a lunatic but fear not....he's old and his son is a genius! OMGGoCOwboYS! The backup QB treatment in full effect.

I'd sooner yell up the steps and ask my mom about players.

And the damn meat loaf. #$%#!

Actually I asked you in order to be a fraud don't you have to be pretending be something that you aren't?

Here's Parcels on Stephen Jones:

"He's very smart,'' Parcells said. "He has good people skills. He has a good sense of humor, is a good-hearted person and is thorough.''

And Jimmy Johnson:

"Watching him grow and actually take responsibility in the Cowboys organization is really something. "He's very talented, works very hard, is passionate about the job and around the league is recognized as one of the best at what he does.''

Compare that with what Risen Star has to say...lol, no, not really. It doesn't matter what one fan on the internet has to say. It's just one fan, on the internet.

As far as I can tell, Stephen's earned respect over the years from the NFL people who have actually worked with him. Add that to the fact that he always seems a bright and organized guy who's interested in improving the organization, managing the cap, and is one of the few people in the organization willing to really stand up to Jerry, and I don't see what there is to complain about. Beyond the Doritos thing, of course, which is obviously intolerable.
