The Incredible Arrogance Of Jerry Jones & The Dallas Cowboys

[Whirlwin]

Jimmy gave it to him. Without Jimmy Jerry has nothing. 30 years of being in charge proves Jerry doesn't know what he's doing.

I totally disagree. It was definitely a team and they did it well together. did you forget Jimmy failed in Miami?

Stop. There are no longer any valid reasons to think that Jerry is anything but incompetent. At this point, you're simply repeating the same erroneous arguments. Exactly what does a person have to do after 30 years of incompetence to wake you up?

 

[kskboys]

I'm with you. Jerry is desperate to win. But he's totally incompetent. Although he is also totally delusional and like Rambo, Ranching and some others is stuck in a time warp where it's still 1990.

He is? Wouldn't a desperate person do anything at all to get what they want?

I don't think Jerry is desperate at all.

 

[kskboys]

You keep missing the point. Jerry would love nothing more than to win a Super Bowl, it’s stupid stupid to think he doesn’t.

No, it's stupid to think that he does. He knows what it would take and refuses to do it. How can you even say that he'd love nothing more?

 

[kskboys]

I’m not buying it. The injury excuse is quite convenient for them, but look at last year other than Diggs. What was the excuse then?

The injury excuse is simply the very few left who are desperate to believe in Jerry.

 

[kskboys]

I don’t listen to him,. I just know the hate is ,stronger than the truth.

That doesn't make sense. All of the truth/facts/logic point toward Jerry not caring about winning. You'd have to be blind to not see it. I mean, Jerry's going out of his way to prove to you that he doesn't care about anything but getting his little numnums off playing w/ his toy. Nothing else matters to him.

He's not the least bit desperate. Some people are so tuned in to what Jerry says that they ignore his actions. His actions speak volumes. What comes out of his mouth isn't worth a pile of dog crap.

 

[kskboys]

The difference is, he thinks he knows how to win. He's a narcissist, who can't accept that someone else would do a better job.

He wants to win, he just doesn't realize he's the problem...and no, I don't think he believes what he said about firing himself.

As Dallaseast says, Jerry does not think as we are trying to imagine he is thinking. None of this matters to him. All that matters to him is himself and what he wants. Everything must be looked at through that lens to even begin to understand him.

 

[kskboys]

Not even a little bit. Jerry is self-involved, any and every other thought comes in a far, far 2nd to that.

It is very hard to really understand Jerry, as he does not think as a normal person would.

The injury excuse is simply the very few left who are desperate to believe in Jerry.

Around here, which represents less than one percent of the fanbase, there’s only a few….but the problem lies in general. The very casual “fan” who can name maybe ten players on the team but still buys merchandise and goes to games every now and then. Watches about half of them.

Those types will never get emotional enough to protest in any type of way, but they may stop paying attention, at which time Jerry recently promised to “shake it up.”

I don’t know what that means…probably a dumb trade for a WR…but I do know that the only hope for turnaround here is for a Parcells-type situation to happen. They’ve gotta get a lot lower before that has a chance to happen….as in maybe six feet lower.

Not if their ego/delusion prevents them doing what is required, which is the case with Jerry

It is just so frustrating. This offseason the needs were clear as day. Would it had made a difference from a super bowl run. Unlikely, but the season was DOA from the start.

Rico got over a 1000 yards this year but scared no one. With limited # of playmakers teams we were really limited. Sure Barkley and Henry were the top tier out there, but Aaron Jones or Joe Mixon would have been fine. This would have helped the offense greatly. It would have put Rico as a nice second back.

On the DT, instead of putting all your eggs in the Mazi Smith basket, they should have targeted one good DT. Maybe not top tier, but a good run stuffer. This defense is meant to get you in third and longs and attack. If they can't stop the run, the defense crators. They couldn't stop the run. They should have signed one good DT and one solid run stuffing veteran DT (not a cutdown guy). Make Mazi prove he deserves NFL snaps, rather than counting on him.

Now a year later, the same holes are still there. Only now, we have 4-5 other major holes. You won't be able to fix all in one year. It will never get fixed if you don't target your holes in FA.

"I would've been fired as GM from any other team."

Jerry's own words. Soooooooooo, you sure he thinks he's good?

yes.

He tells you want you want to hear to keep you busy.

It works.

He was only there 4 years and made the playoffs 3 times.He wasn't exactly a failure. If he would have been a coach for 20 years or more and didn't do anything then you might have more of a point that the game passed Jimmy by. It wouldn't change what he did in Dallas though as Jimmy was in charge of building that team.Also he wasn't able to rebuild that Miami team the way he wanted it. That was Dan Marinos team. That's why when Parcells came to Dallas, Emmitt had to leave. Meanwhile Jerry has had 30 years to prove he can build a team and he hasn't come close. IF he was this great football guy we would have at least played in a championship game. Only us and Washigton haven't played in an nfccg this century. That is terrible and we are as far away as we've ever been

 

[kskboys]

yes.

He tells you want you want to hear to keep you busy.

It works.

Nah, he just spews. His thinking doesn't go anywhere near that deep as to be concerned w/ what anyone wants to hear. He likes to hear himself talk, and doesn't care. That is what works!!!

 

[deerhunter11]

i am sure he wants to win just enough to keep the cowboys as the number one franchise in TV and Merch sales.nothing they have done the past decade indicates they are leaving no stones unturned to win the SB.heck they have mostly sat out FA and only brought in guys nobody wants(for almost a decade) and they will do it again next season and Stephen has basically admitted thats the case.Cowboys will not win the SB until the Jones family is forced to sell the team.

I completely agree with you,I have absolutely no faith in the GM Jones.

 

[deerhunter11]

That was a good listen. I don't agree with everybody that Jerry doesn't care about winning. I do think Jerry Jones clearly wants to win. A man with his ego would love nothing more than to hoist the Lombardi Trophy every season. The problem is, he just doesn’t know how to make it happen, as evidenced by 30 years of mediocrity. He struck gold early in his ownership with Jimmy Johnson, but his ego disrupted that success, and it’s been a recurring issue ever since. Jerry simply lacks the knowledge to build a roster effectively, manage the cap, and give his coaching staff the autonomy they need.

Meanwhile, teams like Philly and New York have built championship rosters, and Washington is assembling a promising squad. What is Dallas doing? They’re cap-strapped to an aging, injury-prone quarterback, riddled with roster holes, unclear about their coaching direction, and have been making lackluster first-round picks. Add in a refusal to spend beyond the bargain bin in free agency, and you have the result of a “GM” who doesn’t know what he’s doing.

And yet, here we are, tied to this team we love, forced to endure the suffering while Jerry fumbles around in the front office.

This sums up exactly what is wrong with Dallas ,their is not another NFL team that is run the way the Cowboys are.

Jimmy gave it to him. Without Jimmy Jerry has nothing. 30 years of being in charge proves Jerry doesn't know what he's doing.

Gospel truth.

A lot of people forget that Jimmy Johnson, in addition to being head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, was also co-GM with Jerry. Since then, they have never drafted or "wheeled & dealed" in free agency as brilliantly.
