Stephen may be able to replace Jerry Jones, the man that is his father. However, he could never replace the wisdom.
How could anyone ever expect Stephen to espouse such timeless quotes as the following Jerry Jones's classics:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
"Emmitt Smith is a luxury, not a necessity for the Cowboys," - When told that Emmitt was holding out at the beginning of the 93 season. The Cowboys would lose their first two games causing Charles Haley to throw his helmet up against the wall and demand that Emmitt be signed....which Jerry promptly did. Hey, nobody is that dumb. The Cowboys would ultimately end up in the Super Bowl with Emmitt as the MVP.
"I have to be a realist, I hadn't thought or hoped that we'd be sitting here after the sixth game making these adjustments. … I did not want to this year go to an inexperienced quarterback. I wanted to have the benefit of Drew Bledsoe. It hasn't worked out as of today. It just hasn't worked out. That to me is a step back." - Jerry's reaction to Bill Parcell's decision to bench Drew Bledsoe and replace him with Tony Romo making that game Tony's first NFL start
"I'm still so damn mad at Stephen, I get madder, every day, about missin' (Manziel). There's only one thing I wanna say -- I'd have never bought the Cowboys had I made the kinda decision that I just made right now, You need to drive across the water rather than lay up. And we laid up for this one. ... We just didn't get here makin' this kind of decision. I listened to everybody... and I'm ... not ... happy ..." - Jerry's reaction to not drafting Johnny Manziel
"If we had picked Manziel, he'd guarantee our relevance for 10 years." - Ditto
"He has the potential to be the kind of back that would step in there and be a No. 1 back, If he were not here, then I wouldn’t feel as good as we go into the season about what might happen." - Jerry's explanation as to why he didn't resign last NFL season's leading rusher and new Cowboy record holder for most rushing yards in a season. He had "Klepto Joe" Randle....who was cut before the end of the season after committing his third felony.
"This quarterback Weeden can drive the ball down field. He's a thing of beauty on throwing a football. His passing motion and his arm, frankly, you won't see a more gifted passer, power, accuracy, the entire aspect of it" - describing the quality backup QB he signed in the offseason. Tony Romo did go down with an injury and Weeden replaced him for three games....all losses. Weeden was promptly replaced.
“Would you get embarrassed if you were standing in this stadium? Seriously? The answer is no.” In 2015 Jerry was asked if he felt embarrassed by the Cowboys 4-12 performance after going 12-4 the previous season. This told fans everything they wanted to know about Jerry Jones's priorities."
"There are 500 coaches who could have won the Super Bowl with our team." - A statement he made prior to Jimmy Jonson's departure. After the Cowboys lost to the 49ers the following season, many began to wonder why Jerry hired Coach #501.
"The only way to break out is to gamble – take a chance with that first pick if you wanna dramatically improve your team." - Jerry describing his brilliant drafting philosophy in the 1st round. Screw research, analysis, and team needs, just roll the dice! Of course, this bold strategy was vacationing in the Bahamas the year Jerry passed over Randy Moss.

What can I say, Stephen.......dare to dream.
