Twitter: Stephen Jones Twitter Q&A - 11/29/16

I was a little surprised he picked Irvin as his favorite 90s Cowboy. I would have guessed he would have said Moose.

Yeah, but I'm getting tired of all the "hot hand" talk. Players that are hot, eventually cool off and revert to their true form. You can't be "hot" this long. You can be hot for a series or even a game or two. But not for an entire season. Dak has been playing at a high level since game 1 of the preseason. At some point we have to stop the "hot" talk, and just acknowledge that this is who Dak is. When Brady is playing dominant ball, no one says he has a hot hand. They just say, "That's Brady being Brady."

I guess you missed RG3, Kap, Foles, etc.

It happens.

But I liked the painting

It absolutely was a hard decision I can't see how you can even make an argument that it wasn't. Dak was a rookie playing well meanwhile you had a 4 time probowler ready to come back. Its not like you were choosing between a good rookie and Trent Dilfer

You and many others didn't know how I could make an argument that Dak would remain the starter once Romo was healthy and ready to play and I proved every single one of you wrong. You kept telling me Romo would be back as the starter once he was healthy...WRONG! I said for weeks this would be an easy decision for the Cowboys because Dak's play has made it easy. I said to "book it" and to "mark it down" that this is Dak's team and that he would remain the starter the rest of the season barring injury. I nailed everything I said in the many debates I had on Dak vs Romo. No QB in franchise history has played the QB position as efficiently as Dak has played it this season.

He's had 9 of 11 games with a passer rating of 100.0+ and hasn't had a bad game all season. He's led the team to a franchise record 10 straight wins and if it was up to you, you would be starting Romo against Minn. LOL The Cowboys are saying all the right things and had Stephen said anything less than what he did it could have been seen as a slap against Romo. Jerry's said he can't see Romo not being with the Cowboys next season but everyone who has a clue knows he won't be. Instead of disagreeing with me all the time, you need to start listening to me so you'll be right for once.

and here we go

If you want to see a signal that the transition in leadership and control is taking place, this is it. Stephen is going to take over as the figure head of the Cowboys. This AMA doesn't happen even a couple of years ago, IMO.

Irvin was the heart and soul of that team.

 

[KJJ]

and here we go

He was one of those I told to "book it" and to "mark it down" which is probably why he hasn't responded back. lol

 

[Maverick84]

Irvin was the heart and soul of that team.

without question

the personalities of those players was essentially the perfect combination......... Aikman the head, Emmitt the body, and Irvin the soul

You should add this to the end of your post....

Glad to see you & Stephen Jones on the same page.


It will make for smooth transition.

 

[Irvin88_4life]

No questions about the defense?

So nobody asked why our pass rush is non-existent or why we give up a zillion passing yards per game or why turnovers are more rare in Big D than unicorns?

Instead we get, what is your favorite sport besides football, have you ever been to Canada, what is your favorite color, do you like Spaghetti

I'm sure those questions were asked but it's up to Stephen to answer them. Can't answer every question

 

[Irvin88_4life]

Irvin was the heart and soul of that team.

I approve this message

 

[Fletch]

I really like Stephen Jones. The guy really does get it. I know some of our fans have soured on him for whatever reason, lumping him into the same tired discussions regarding Jerry and the overall disdain for Jerry. I say get over it!

I believe we're in good hands moving forward.

Not surprised at all. Owners love players who love and show love for the team.

I thought he might have an issue with Irvin and his off field issues causing bad publicity for the team.

 

[DallasDomination]

Why is it up to Stephen on who plays and who doesnt?
Hardest decision he's made? So did Garrett just go ask Stephen who should start?
