CFZ The message 30 of 32 NFL owners send every year

[Bobhaze]

Here’s the message: Approximately 94% of NFL owners share something very important in common- they hire a general manager to manage football operations and let that person be completely in charge of the team’s roster management and on-field results.

There are only 2 owners who don’t use that model- Cincinnati’s Mike Brown and Dallas’ Jerry Jones. So how have the 30 other owners who hire a GM fared compared to Jerry and Mike Brown?

• The winning owners of the last 26 Super Bowls all hired a GM to run their football operations.
• The only time in the last 26 years a team who had an owner as it’s GM won a conference championship or even went to a conference championship game was last year’s bengals team.
• The combined playoff record of the two “GM owners” over the last 26 years: 7-18. (After the bengals won 3 playoff games last year)

Having the owner also serve as your GM is an inherently bad idea. The data of the last quarter century makes that clear. The owner has an emotional attachment to their team that makes it more difficult to make the tough decisions needed to win in this league.

So the next time Jerry tells us how bad he wants to win- just remember- he doesn’t want to win bad enough to do what it takes to win a SB. And 30 NFL owners have made it abundantly clear that starts with hiring a real GM.

Heard this a 1000 times before.....but makes no difference.....The Dallas Cowboys are a family ran organization and will remain that way......its not about championships its about Family and its been that way for 26 plus years and not gonna change anytime soon.

And worth noting the Bengals owner Mike Brown operates not as quite of hands on as Jethro publicly acknowledging delegating more to his daughter and son in law and other family members .

The results they’ve been getting probably won’t change either.

With all due respect, @Bobhaze , it seems the more you complain about Jerry, the more you look for reasons to complain about Jerry.

None of us need convincing, brother. We all know we need a real GM, and that Jerry needs to just sign checks and root for the team. But it's not likely to happen, and getting it off your chest doesn't seem to be getting it off your chest.

 

[Diehardblues]

It still amazes me with our dysfunctional organization we’re able to field a competitive team at all. You’d think we’d be more of a 4-6 win team more consistently.

I think it’s why he stays the course . He thinks he’s close. And when you look around at all of the other franchises who do it the right way we actually fare better than about half the league .

Unfortunately though those franchises at least at some point have a better opportunity of finally getting it right while we stay in this perpetual mediocre mode providing just enough hope to hype from year to year.

I mean I get your point but we are talking about a sample size of two…and one of those two was a super bowl participant just a year ago. The jaguars, lions, Texans, Dolphins, etc all have had GMs for years with no more success than the cowboys or bengals.

This is some great information. But i wonder how many Owners who served as GMs won 3 Superbowls like Jerry did.....

 

[zrinkill]

Competent GM's 3 most important positions.

QB
DE
LT

Jerry Jones 3 most important positions

RB
TE
WR

 

[Oz-of-Cowboy-Country]

Dallas has a GM.

Have y'all not heard Jerry being called the owner, president, and general manager?

Another day of Jerry living Rent Free in the op’s head. Gotta love it!

Who are the other teams other than Cowboys/Bengals not to have GMs?

Agree 100% with this post. Jerry wants money and limelight. Winning is not as important because he continues to get a lot of the first two points.

Jerry is a fraud.

I would argue Jimmy Johnson was the real GM and assembled those 3 SB winning teams.

Jerry didn't even win those SBs as GM. He was GM in name only.

Oh, Jerry wants to win, but only his way.
So he does not want to win badly enough.
I think he gotten so use to the limelight and attention he can never give it up.

The fact he parted ways with a back to back SB HC cause he became the face of the franchise instead of himself says it all. Winning isn’t the top priority.

Only if he can be in control and win.

Everyone discusses what's on their mind. It's OK!!!!!

Sure, but fire being discovered at the same time obscured those wins.
