Some of the stuff Jerry gets credit for isn't him, it's just the team being the blueblood name that it is.

Jerry is still living off the Landry legacy. If he had bought the Chargers like he wanted to as a younger man, people would barely know who he is.
I gave a like but thought more on it. What if Jerry Jones had hired Jimmy Johnson in that scenario as he did in reality?

I can see things playing out for him initially like it did for real. Jones would benefit from Johnson masterminding one or more Super Bowls and the rest of his ownership would likely play out the same way except:
  • the San Diego (and later Los Angeles) markets would not provide him nearly the same attention and notoriety
  • the Board of Selectors would not have inducted him into the Pro Football Hall of Fame as soon (or ever) despite how much money he brought into the league for the same reason
You are 100% correct Jones would not have a longstanding franchise legacy to feed off on. Even so, I think similar events would carve enough of a niche for him that he would get David Teppers-type attention from sports talking heads.

There was no cap and ownership could do what the hell they wanted, then.

There are a few of you who have woken up and realized this team will never win with Jerry being the GM.
You tune in from a distance, review the scores on Monday's and enjoy your lives and other interests outside of this team.

Good for you…
However, it’s to the rest of you that I am addressing this post as I read the threads and speculations.

Do you all realize you are being played? By the master manipulator that is Jerry.

Why just look at a few facts over the last week…
- the bears asked to talk to MM… they were denied by the cowboys, leading to all sorts of speculation that he would be coming back.
- during the wildcard playoffs all the media did was carry the story and speculate about MM’s future
- the wildcards are over and done with and the cowboys announce they are parting ways with Mike… wow what a shock!!!!, as if they ever truly wanted him to come back
- now the speculation is who will the Cowturds hire? With some big names being thrown out
- in the end Jerry will announce his next coach just before the SB… for maximum effect…

Just like he always does, he manipulates the media like no other… and he knows the cowboys fan base will believe this is their year…

He throws out lines like “all in” and the media and fans speculate like a bunch of sharks smelling blood.

He signed Prescott to a historic deal… not because he believes he will win him a title. Jerry is a lot of things but he’s not stupid, it’s because each and every day his name is mentioned and people speculate what that means for this team for the next 4 years…

His cowturds are in the news, that’s what he wants… and the faithful will continue to speculate along with the media…

All the while Jerry all he cares about is FORBES ranking… and him raking in as much money as he can.

Ask yourself this… how many teams could have 3 decades of not winning anything and still be number 1 Forbes most valuable franchise…

The answer is no one.
That’s because no one has the master manipulator that is Jerry Jones.

Now I’ll be called a hater etc… by some of you for my views.

Jokes on you as I’ll circle back into these threads and read your articles and continued speculation all while the maestro conducts his orchestra.

But if this message makes you stop and realize you are being manipulated. Then welcome to a better life.

I will never stop being a Cowboys fan which is now over 50years, but I refuse to play Jerry’s game anymore.
I don't listen to any of Jerry's shows or interviews. The only thing I see about Jerry is what is posted on here by those that are not being manipulated by him. LOL! If anything having to do with this team making your life better, I feel bad for you. Take it for what it is....A Frikkin Game! When you do that, you'll have a better life. I won't call you a hater, you're just frustrated, like we all are.

You are not a hater.
This team is never going to win anything note worthy with Jerry as GM.
It's just a recognition of reality.
We have not been to a NFCCG in 29 years for example.
That's on Jerry.

There are a slew of casuals on FB that do. They're the ones that say I'm not a real fan, or I'm a 'hater' when I say anything critical. I saw a "The Dallas Cowboys are winning the SB" post by one of the Cowboys groups. Those are the fans that make the rest of us look bad. I hate them.
I know there are people out there that support the Cowboys and everything they do. I call them homers. But if you ask them, is Jerry doing a good job as GM, would they say yes?

I mean I love the Cowboys and have since the mid-1960s. When they do something good, I will admit it. But ask me if I think Jerry is good or bad for this team and I will tell you emphatically I think he needs to let go and get a legitimate GM to run his team.

What am I missing? I don't see anyone supporting Jerry.

Can I just ask the group? Does anyone still support Jerry as GM of this team?
On Tuesday, Garrett talked about what type of coach would thrive in Dallas. He emphasized leadership and communication. And it isn’t just leading your staff, but leading upward in the organization. It’s important to have a clear vision of what you want the team to be and get the Joneses to buy off on it.

Instead of trying to change Jerry Jones, one has to embrace the dynamics within the organization. You listen, you work collectively, and you have to have the discipline to make the vision come alive. During his time with the Cowboys, the team had success when they stayed disciplined and everyone was on the same page and didn’t when they weren’t.

While Garrett was never able to help the Cowboys go on a deep playoff run, he has a strong understanding of the situation in Dallas. He views it as more opportunistic than a headache and that is why he survived as long as he did.

Mr. Jones is the owner, knowledgeable and not a fool. He supports a team fully. I do like that in ownership. Not as a left over excuse...neither he nor I am a fool.

This commentary is very odd considering you yourself are doing more than just tuning in "from a distance and reviewing scores on Monday" while enjoying the rest of your life.

You are here, right? And you started this thread, and showed how you are following the media reports, yet you are lecturing others for not just "reviewing scores on Monday" and enjoying their lives away from the Cowboys.

You appear to be the one letting it affect your life, and even more than many others because you are the one taking the time to lecture others for letting it affect their lives.

I’m always the devil’s advocate when it comes to Jerry, because it’s just joke the whole thing. Go Cowboys, that’s all I care about.

Most of the people who come here know all this, it is the casual fans who rely on the media for info, and go to games that drink the koolaide
jerry passes out.
Anyone who bothers to come here, knows way more than casual fans. They go to games and watch on tv, and dont think much
about the why's, and probably dont keep up with how long it has been since the last won a div game.
Most of them are satisfied with a winning record and playoff game.

Also it is ok to follow cowboys or come here even if you dont like jones's or the current team and want them to lose.
Sadly nothing is going to change for another 20 years lol so thats what we have . Just accept it and have fun with it as it is or move on
and forget about the cowboys.

The NFL itself has gone downhill, and produces a now lackluster product which is getting harder to watch each year.
I follow other teams as well so the cowboys being bad doesnt bother me as much as those who only follow the cowboys.

I agree.
Which is why Jerry saved the announcement that McCarthy wouldn't return until Mike Vrabel was being announced as the next head coach in New England.
Jerry upstate Robert Craft to grab headlines, and this whirlwind coaching search is a desperate grab at headlines.
Jerry will likely keep the drama going until just after the Super Bowl, assuring him of grabbing more headlines during that week.
It's all a sad show put on by a sad man, attempting to regain some respect from the fans.
While it may work in the short term, Dak Prescott is still signed to that four year deal, and the attention will eventually fade.
The truth is that the fans no longer believe in the Cowboys.

Thank you. I was beginning to wonder if there were any sane fans left for this pathetic franchise
