Troy Aikman is trolling Jerry

[Aven8]

100%......and you are right, this blunder sits at the top with Randy Moss

Who’s to say this doesn’t get Jackson his first SB? Jackson is 2-4 in the playoffs. What might have been……

 

[JonesBoys]

Don't you dare criticize Jerrah, Troy. He will have you fired, he's not kidding.

I was thinking the same thing......you can tell Lamar is having more fun this season. He's not asked to carry the entire offense......which makes him even more dangerous.

It was a sad moment in Dallas Cowboys history. The moment when a two-time defending Super Bowl winning head coach was kicked to the curb thirty years ago. My apologies. The moment when a two-time defending Super Bowl winning head coach and his employer parted amicably thirty years ago. Jimmy Johnson was going to leave anyway. He never stayed in one place for too long. The entire episode is a sad chapter in the franchise's and league history.

It is not the saddest thing to have happened though. It is sadder still thirty years of NFL, general manager, experience did not teach Jerry Jones to pull the trigger during the offseason. You pay who you think is a top quarterback. You pay who you think is a top wide receiver. You do not pay a running back who was still considered a good running back and much better than what you already had on the roster. No true bona fide GM insight. After three decades.

Haven't learned a thing. Like flunking ninth grade thirty consecutive years and finally graduating with a GED--because the high school diploma remained out of reach.

Whatever.

Jerry has learned. He's learned that he doesn't really need to put much effort into truly managing a roster, sign a couple "name" players, manufacture some drama, rinse and repeat and viola, rake in the dough!

 

[Miller]

Henry just had an 80 yard run averaging 22 mph at age 30 but we couldn’t kick the tires because Zeke was coming

 

[JustChip]

I’m thinking Troy just killed any chance he would ever to be the GM in Dallas.

Troy used to say he would like to be a GM but he knew it would never happen in Dallas.

I'm so sick of this lie. Jimmy wasn't going anywhere until Jerry picked a butt-hurt drama fight with him over the credit. He was even meeting with FAs like Deion for the 1994 season before that.

Jimmy leaving was 100% Jerry's fault.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

I get the feeling that Stephen will put football people in charge and he will step back into a more traditional CEO role. He does not crave the spotlight like his dumpster fire of a human father.

I was thinking the same. I'm not sure he will be interested in the direct football side as much as Jerry. It's why I have said McClay could very well be the GM and take on the CEO role as you mentioned.

 

[TequilaCowboy]

Passing on signing Derrick Henry was the second dumbest move of the offseason.

It makes theTop-5 list of dumb things he’s done in the last decade

Good thing you limited his screwups to the last decade only. I would run out of fingers and toes counting how many times this Bozo has crapped the bed.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Troy used to say he would like to be a GM but he knew it would never happen in Dallas.

You are probably right but only a select few outside of the family have a chance of getting close the this team. Other than McClay, I would think Troy and Jason Witten would be the top of the list.

This is what happens when an oil man buys a pro football team and proceeds to anoint himself GM.

Jerry will have the players drinking Castrol GTX, soon!

Troy Aikman on the Monday Night Football broadcast talking about Baltimore Ravens RB Derrick Henry: "There's gotta be a lot of teams out there that had opportunities to bring in Derrick Henry that are kind of kicking themselves for not doing it. But he has been an absolute perfect fit for this Ravens attack."

Joe Buck: "Can you think of any teams off hand? I'll just throw this out there, the offseason home for Derrick Henry is in Dallas, Texas."

Henry would have been wasted in Dallas, just as CeeDee Lamb, Micah Parsons, and the rest are being wasted.
Just as so many others have been wasted over the past seventeen years under Garrett and Garrett 2.0.

 

[JPM]

Dallas wanted him, but you know he was "too expensive".

 

[atlantacowboy]

Fair question....would he have the same success here?

Even if he had just an average Derrick Henry season , he would've been a huge upgrade. But, Jerry had his heart set on a Zeke reunion.

They wasted Tony’s best years.

Wasted them.

Wasted them.

Yep, and many, many more.

 

[Chasing6]

Everyone in the universe knows this, except Jerry & Son. Even they know it, but will not admit it.

Even MM secretly is thinking he wished Henry was in Dallas.

MM is not allowed to think. He can only mimic his employer.

Lie? No. I agree with your summation of the cause behind Johnson's exit.

It would have been better if I had said, "Jimmy Johnson was going to leave eventually." Johnson never stayed in one spot for very long. He would have remained in Dallas longer if Jerry Jones could have managed his itty-bitty, narcissistic-driven feelings much better.

I have zero evidence to support my belief but I really think Johnson would have ended up staying in Big D for a decade at minimum. That length would have lapped his previous stops at the college level. That possibility would have likely changed or dismissed Johnson wanting to coach in Miami. All pure speculation on my part though.
