Fans put zero credibility into your GM ability.

Everytime i see this tool I get the song from deliverance in my head.I've said it a million times. My boy who worked for the Cowboys, who has personally driven Stephen and his wife around Oxnard (and his wife back to Beverly Hills), has met Jerry and multiple other Jones members several times told me this: "dude, this team is run by a bunch of drunk rednecks that have no F'ing clue what they're going when it comes to actual football."
Then many fans are listening to different people because some fans favor waiting to see if players perform and/or improve before signing a player to an extension, and some favor signing with a year left on the contract to get a better rate. And, of course, the thoughts can vary from player to player. I don't think there is any one size fits all strategyI would agree, although most are just reiterating what they have seen/heard from ex-pros (as players and front office people) who have openly said JJ/Stephen's lack of strategy isn't a positive in re-signing their own players. And honestly, it's not a hard concept. A competent front office can forecast and make these decisions earlier than not vs what JJ/Stephen do. Now they have tried in the past to do a few major contracts early, but mainly when they thought it was going to benefit them and possibly get over on the player (majority injury based) vs beating the market (I guess Bland would be a good example though of beating the market on a smaller scale).
No one is asking for Stephen's response because the miscues are obvious and out in the open for all to see. So the "zero credibility" really applies to himself and Jerry.
Exactly. It's just something to vent about.Then many fans are listening to different people because some fans favor waiting to see if players perform and/or improve before signing a player to an extension, and some favor signing with a year left on the contract to get a better rate. And, of course, the thoughts can vary from player to player. I don't think there is any one size fits all strategy
Oh, no. Not you too.There’s a lot of this going around lately.
Even Coogs doesn't want Stephen to share his thoughts....
Oh, no. Not you too.

I’m glad you can chuckleStephen always makes me chuckle.
He often reminds me of Randle McMurphy. Just after his lobotomy.
