Stephen: Sometimes that old oblong football doesn't bounce your way

[Bobhaze]

They're close. Around the rim. Sometimes that ball bounces funny for 30 years.

Front kick to the face.

Put another way, if after 28 years the ball hasn’t bounced your way, maybe the problem ain’t the ball.

 

[links18]

We need another 1988 season in the worst way.

Except two dufuses at the top probably wouldn't sell the team this time around.

 

[dwreck27]

Very frustrating… if this was the thinking from the front office how don’t you get the deal done to give yourself more cap flexibility to acquire more talent to field a better team?

Instead we let some quality FAs walk out the door, didn’t acquire any upgraded FA talent and didn’t even make a single move up for better talent

 

[Sheepherder]

Hey Steph

Click your heels 3 times and keep "thinking" he can......

Definition of insanity: Repeating th same thing over and over and expecting different results.

 

[Hardline]

They are either the stupidest people in the national football league. Or they think all of their fans are.

It's both.
They are the stupidest people in the NFL AND Most of their fans are.

 

[Bobhaze]

I’ve never…ever…seen a front office so proud of 4 wild card wins in 28 years.

 

[mattjames2010]

Delusional, hard to believe smart people can be so stupid. When it does not work out this year, we will hear we are close just need the right coach. Jones boys did everything right but coaching let them down and it starts all over again.

Who said Stephen is smart? He's a nepotism baby.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

After Dak's recent interview and now this, I am 100% convinced they WILL extend him. It is just a matter of how much and when.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

. But we’ve won 12 games three years in a row. I think that’s right at the top in terms of what teams have done over a three-year period. And we’re hanging around the rim

I have been saying they are waaaay more proud of this than the fans and media. In their mind, they are much closer to the Super Bowl with Dak than starting over w/o him.

 

[GINeric]

Elway is a legend but I couldn't imagine how this place would be if Dak made it to 3 super bowls and never won lol

There's a serious double standard here for quarterbacks. Other quarterbacks can have the same success or lack of success in the playoffs as Dak, but they would be given excuses for their failures.

Dak is not an elite quarterback and not worth the contract he's asking for.... but he's been alot better than other quarterbacks people here have claimed to be better according to production.

When other quarterbacks haven't won in their first full 8 seasons, it's a team game or the coaching staff. When Dak hasn't, it's all his fault despite not having a top coaching staff and defensive failures to go along with offensive failures. Our lack of success has been a total organization on down failure.

But one person always mysteriously takes the blame.

Not other quarterbacks though. It's a team game for them, apparently.

Plus if I'm gonna give my Quarterback 20% of the entire teams salary cap I'd rather "Know" than "Think" he can deliver the goods.

8 seasons the charm?

Romo took the same exact blame when he was here.

No double standard as a Cowboys quarterback

2-5 vs 2-4.......take your pick.

 

[Jarntt]

This offseason has been like trying to fit an oblong football into a round hole...

 

[5Stars]

Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones on @MadDogRadio said it’s a “priority” to get a new contract done with Dak Prescott. “(Franchise QB contracts), they just take time.” Jones on believing Dak can win a Super Bowl in Dallas:

“Absolutely. I mean, I totally think Dak can lead us to a championship. He does everything the right way. He’s certainly the leader of this football team. He keeps everybody motivated in the offseason. He’s got everybody working out and doing all the things that it takes to put in the work to give yourself every opportunity to win a championship. It just so happens that sometimes that old oblong football doesn’t bounce your way. And we’ve had some tough breaks and tough games there in the postseason. But we’ve won 12 games three years in a row. I think that’s right at the top in terms of what teams have done over a three-year period. And we’re hanging around the rim. We’ve just gotta go up there and grab it, to use a basketball term, and dunk it in. We’re hanging around the rim. We just got to get the job done.”

lol...Wrong! That old oblong shape is your and your dads brain. Broken rim-brain.

You and spawn don't need no stinking job. What has it become...

 

[cowboyblue22]

Older QBs than Dak who won their first SB with the team they were drafted by:
John Elway (made 3 Super Bowls at a younger age but lost them all)

QBs who were the same age as Dak who won their first SB with the team they were drafted by:
Phil Simms

That's it.

i truly dont believe dak will win a super bowl in dallas or any where i hope they move on from him after this season

 

[TequilaCowboy]

It's gotten now to the point that no one (except some delusional cheerleaders here) believe stuff that comes out of the mouth of either Jerry or Stephen. After three decades, they have exhausted any reasonable or legit excuses for their playoff failures and season failures. Now they just pick things out of a hat like blaming the shape of the ball. They obviously know that they have been two of the reasons that this thing has not gotten them closer to any championship. They have painted themselves in a corner, what can they do about it that won't make themselves look like what they are.....two completely incompetent persons trying to play the part of NFL front office management. Sorry Charlie, not buying this. Swallow your enormous ego and hire the proper people to manage this shell of a glamorous franchise.

LOL at thinking it was just a bad bounce or two that got us run off our own field a few months ago in the first round of the playoffs.

Stephen is more delusional than his dad and that sucks for us Cowboys fans. They are not going to ever win crap with Stephen in charge. In fact, I suspect it will get much worse under him. Whereas typically Jerry would put out a clunker of a team every once in a blue moon, it's possible we could see this franchise stringing together a few bad seasons in a row or for a long stretch with Stephen solely calling the shots.

Jerry seems to know more about football than his son. And that's scary to think about.

 

[Sydla]

He’s talking about now, not the past but nice try.

Now? As in just this past January where we got run off our own field?

That game was a bounce or two away from being a win?

 

[CTcowboy203]

I’ve been someone who thinks winning 12 games is something, however it is not everything, and the way Stephen and Jerry talk about is a big alarming. Winning 36 games in 3 years or “hanging around the rim” so to speak was a reason to be aggressive this offseason.

They were anything but…

 

[infamousstyles]

Yes....just a bunch of bad breaks since 1995 lol. The jones boys continue to walk in the desert looking for water but only face plant in sand every time they trip over their shoe laces being tied together.
