"But I'll bet you liked those 3 Superbowls?" Jerry Jones
Yes, we did. But it doesn’t provide you a pass for life.
And the longer this goes the more we wonder whether it was worth it.

Who’s to say we couldn’t have won some Super Bowls over last 4 decades with another owner. We had some success in the prior era.

In 1989, Jerry Jones bought the Cowboys for an "all-in" cost of $140 million. At the time, the organization was hemorrhaging millions of dollars every year. Since then, the Cowboys have become the most valuable sports enterprise in the world, currently valued at 11 billion dollars. So, @Bobhaze it depends on your perspective as to what stinks at AT&T. In the end, it's a business and business is booming. That's why Jerry is right when he says he's, "all-in".

I'm a cowboys fan...it's obvious you hate Dak. Especially if you're okay with Trevor's performance...but detest Daks
Where did I say I loved TL’s performance? I said he has played poorly. Where did I say I hate Dak? He is actually a good guy but just a crappy player. Putting words in people’s mouths and getting into Strawman discussions make you lose the argument. Be better next time. It’s ok to say Dak sucks and that contract is a killer because it’s true.

So Trevor's played poorly, but Dak sucks? Nothing further to discuss .

That was the definition of an embarrassing loss. Fourth straight loss at home, where the Cowboys average giving up 42 points per game in 2024. A really bad smell is coming out of AT&T and the list of what stinks the worst when a football team loses this badly usually starts with the head coach, the QB, the coordinators, the players getting paid the most. And those people all stunk it up Sunday vs the lions.

But my fellow Cowboys fans, as frustrating as it was watching the lions absolutely embarrass us in our home palace, the worst smell coming out of the “stayjum” is not the players and coaches. The stink worse than a trash bag of rotten food sitting in the Texas heat for a week is coming from the owner’s box, where the oldest General Manager in NFL history sits surrounded by his entitled children. All with their lifetime contracts and a talent for refusing to hold themselves accountable.

So when you feel the frustration of another embarrassing loss, and a dim future for this team, try to remember that the guy who owns and runs this once proud franchise like his personal fantasy football gig has done all these things:
  • Hired all six head coaches we’ve had in the last 29 years since our last SB appearance and last divisional playoff win.
  • Hired eight different offensive coordinators and eight different defensive coordinators in that time.
  • Seen 9 different starting QBs in that 29 year period, two of which have earned top dollar at the time in Romo and Prescott.
  • Had multiple current and future Hall of Fame players on the team with none of them ever experiencing even one divisional playoff win.
The winning owners of the last 28 SBs all had this in common: They hired someone else to be their GM.

So the next time Dak throws a bad pick, the running game averages 2.6 yards in a game, Lamb quits on a route, the defense gives up over 40 points at home and over 500 yards, and the HC looks lost, just remember who hired ALL those guys. And remember he’s been in charge of everything from “jocks to socks” all these years.

The worst smell coming out of AT&T is in the owner’s box. That is the where all this started.
Its going to get a lot worse before it gets better.

It is literally the biggest problem we have.
Good stuff Bob! It is the foundation of all issues, it's clear now that deep down even the players know Jerry isn't in it to win it, that saps the energy right out of a team. Time for Jerry to go away.

Great read… unfortunately there are some who still believe that Jerry cares… by throwing around phrases like « all in »
The only thing the Jones family is all in on, is making money of the fans who continue to believe
