Video: Jerry Jones sits down with Steve Dennis

[BHendri5]

To the people loving this interview...

What does his statement of 'I have made the decision that the roster is the roster' mean?

It's gobbledy****.

Then he has ridiculous takes on things like.

'The media is mad at the team because they were such a disappointment last year and the media pumped them up so much'.

:laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:

He won't admit the media has gotten to him. When it's obvious it has.

He is still talking about the stupid 2007 season and those 13 wins as if he got an extra cookie at lunch for it.

He likes where the team is right now or else they wouldn't be there????

Really? You like being in a spot where you are going into a new stadium after having the most disappointing season in team history?

:laugh2: :laugh2: :laugh2:

You guys really think it's a good thing he is talking about taking the starting job away from MBIII to Steve Dennis when we already know he stuck his foot in his mouth about the same player last season by calling him out for not playing thru the pain with his injurd toe?

Yeah, MBIII loved hearing that.

But hey, if you guys are happy with Jerry as the 'head coach' then fine.

You guys are entitled to your opinions.

I'm happy, I would be even happier if you would take your negative opinions to another board and team

You all trying to counsel DCF to see the beauty that is Jerry Jones, is like trying to counsel the nation to see the beauty that is the spendulous package.

Heck, we're trying to fix it, our heart is in the right place, we have a lot of passion for what we are doing, and we love speaking to the audience, but stop asking if it makes any sense or if there are any results to back up the claim that he knows how to fix it.

The fact is, and yes it is a fact, that when Jerry has not had a strong and knowledgeable football person alongside him (Jimmy and Parcells), he and the team have gone backwards. That is just a fact. The only 2 seasons that were an exception to that were 1995 (still with the basic roster that Jimmy built), and 2007 (still with the basic roster that Parcells built).

All of this stuff about "the GM can only do so much" is legitimate when it comes to a small sample of seasons, but it is baloney when you haven't had a playoff win in 13 years. We have a L A R G E sample now, and Jerry doesn't know what he is doing.

Jimmy Johnson, interviewed by Dale Hansen, is positive toward Jerry as an owner, but he laughs at the idea of Jerry being in the middle of it.

But DCF needs to come to the light? Man, someone needs to turn the lights on.

Word.

Why? Why should I leave because you don't like what I post on here?

Are you so self involved that you think this place is all about BHendri5?

Man. I wouldn't mind if people like you were kicked out into space, nevermind not posting on the same message board as me.

Sooooorrrrrrrry we can't all be homers like you, lol.

You can "insult" him if you like but I understand his stance.

It's just the constant whining and complaining gets old. That's all you do.

A few not so quick points.

1) I self banned myself from going to the political zone because all I'll do is call you idiot over and over. So to spare us both the banning do not post political content in here, ever, for any reason.

2) Jimmy Johnson has no idea what Jerry can or can not do as a GM. He hasn't worked with him in over 15 years. But even if he did I dare say he'd be a tad bit biased in that regard. FWIW Jimmy never proved he could be GM himself minus Jerry. He made huge personnel booboos in Miami and that team was awful when he had best bud Wanny running things. Jimmy knows DBs as well as anyone ever has. He is a very good defensive guy period, but he couldn't evaluate offensive talent to save his life. What's more though, like Jerry, he needs to work with someone forever to truly trust them so he won't get the help he needs on personnel. Instead he uses his asst coaches to grade players.

3) We do have a large sample of Jerry as GM. We also know he ran putrid drafts with Lacewell and a bunch of Jimmy cronies as his talent evaluators. But that group is gone with exception of Campo who is now just a DB coach and not being given scouting duties. The current scouting staff looks quite capable and Stephen manages the cap quite ably. We have had quality coaching overall at the coordinator positions with the exception of Stewart not getting it done. Sparano, Payton, Haley et al we had have a litany of now head coaches pass through here.

4) When was the last playoff game Bill Parcells won? He's a legit football man right? What about Mike Shanahan? This team hasn't gotten over the hump but it has the talent to. Jerry put enough talent together as GM and paid the guys who needed to be paid that this team can very well win a playoff game. They had BP in here as coach so its not like the coaching hasn't been in place.

5) The biggest issue I have with Jerry haters breaks two ways. a) He is the team essentially so hating him means it is time to move on. He isn't some temporary guy, he is it. b) You can't give him all the blame then hand everyone else the credit. He hired Jimmy and he fired Jimmy. He hired BP and saw BP walk. He hired Lacewell but also brought Stephen in. He has made good trades and bad ones, made good coaching hires and bad ones. Anyone claiming he is at one extreme or the other is full of it.

Bill took a roster over of Jerry guys and had them 10-6 after 3 5-11 seasons
Bill started to change it all up and went 6-10, 9-7, 9-7

Wade came in and took the team to 13-3 and than Wade started to change things and they came in at 9-7 if the pattern holds true the Cowboys should win 12 games the next 2 years

 

[thechosen1n2]

Who really cares about winning a playoff game? Isn't the GOAL of the franchise to WIN the Super Bowl? The Skins have won 1 playoff game in the last 4 years. Does that make Daniel Snyder a good owner? Does that make him better than Jerry? Guess how many playoff games Bill Parcells' teams have won lately. Does that make Parcells a poor football mind?

How many playoff games have the Bucs won lately? Or the Titans?

Do you really think an owner has complete control over whether a team wins a playoff game or not?

And what is the difference between Jerry saying that they might make Felix the starter over somebody like Parcells saying 'no position is safe on the roster' like he did when he was with Dallas?

If you want to say that Jerry brings too much unecessary and unwarranted distractions to this team, fine. If you want to say that Jerry should not have extended Owens' contract, fine. If you want to say that Jerry doesn't provide an atmosphere where the coaches can be leaders, fine.

But saying that Jerry is one step away from being Al Davis is beyond ludicrous and makes you look INSANE and OBSESSED and hardly logical or rational. Either that, or the league is filled with 25 other owners who are one step away from being Al Davis.




YAKUZA

Game OVER....and the winner by UNNNNNNNANNNNNNIMOUS DECISIOOOOOOONNNNNN

I guess that might be valid if I was going to a MEDIA-Fan board and constantly complaining...

no doubt.
people are just short-sighted tho.

if they are miserable they want everyone to wallow in that same misery.

Oh please. There's nothing wrong with being critical of media reports of the Cowboys, but it's ridiculous to state that everything reported by the media is false. You can claim that DCFanatic has his windmills to conquer and you could be right, but neither is it untrue that you do not attempt to conquer your share as well.

But the point is he comes to a Cowboy's fan site to complain about the COWBOYS! I don't go to a MEDIA-fan site to complain about the media. That is the biggest difference.

It would be silly of me to go there and do that. I'm on a Cowboy fan site and sometime complain about the media - and have been proved correct by the way.

I'd love to find a thread where you haven't whizzed on a media report or the media in general. It would be a nice change for sure.

Don't allow the sunny locale to interfere with your point. CowboysZone is a Cowboys/NFL fan website. DCFanatic complains on it about Cowboys-related team functions to the extreme. You complain on it about media reports about the Cowboys to the extreme. Both of you complain. While his complaints can be irritating, DCFanatic has provided enormous amounts of NFL and Cowboys video and audio content to a Cowboys/NFL team fan website. That can place his irritating complaints in their context quite easily. Yours? Not so much. "Ed Werder's a joke." Gracias.

It would be silly of me to go there and do that. I'm on a Cowboy fan site and sometime complain about the media - and have been proved correct by the way.

First of all, what is the web address of this "grand" website for fans of the media?

Secondly... "sometime"? :laugh2:

Lastly, you kinda like being "proven right" about the media, dontcha?

hes had some rough times at it but you cant complain about his last 4 seasons as GM......well you probably could.......his job is to bring in talent.......ummmm..i think we have some talent .....but according to some Jerry only gets credit for the bad, not the good hes done.

His job is to bring in talent and hire the HC. Need I remind you though that BP was basically in charge of talent acquisition from 2003-2006? That includes the good and bad. No one is cherry picking, because there were definitely some bad picks and signings during those four years and most of it falls on Bill.

2007 draft was so-so and last year looks to be really good. So I don't see where you get he "only gets credit for the bad, not the good". But I guess it makes for a good little quote even though it's totally not accurate.

But after we got back in the playoff picture with BP righting the ship, Jerry opted to replace him when he left with a proven non-winner in Wade and then hired about half the staff for Wade basically undermining him on top of him not being that good in the first place.

.hes the best owner in all of sports......and hes learned to be a good GM...stop using the "no playoff wins in 12 years " excuse .....hes givin them everything they needed to win in post season ....the PLAYERS at some point have to be responsible and get it done......Jerry doesnt Coach, kick, hold, block, pass, or catch for this team......

The best owners in sports don't name themselves as GM and don't hire coaches like Switzer, Gailey, Campo and Wade and then undermine them at the same time. Only an idiot would turn over the dominant back to back champions to a guy like Switzer or an up and coming playoff team to someone like Wade. Jerry's an f'ing egomaniac who continually puts his self interests ahead of the team.

 

[Bach]

anyone posting that is an idiot.

Jerry was on the phone with draft picks before they could be signed.
All the while Jimmy sat beside him in the war room.

Jerry's the one that told Jimmy to act like he was discussing things with him all for show for the war room TV camera's. Jimmy, scouts and coaching staff narrowed it down to 2 or 3 players and then Jerry and Jimmy negotiated with them on the phone. Jerry knew jack and squat about talent.

Jimmy didn't control the ability to pay any player thus he wasn't GM.

GM's don't pay players, owners do. The ability to pay a player is totally irrelevant to discussions about a GM.

He was the personnel guy and coach. Jerry had zero player personnel experience and his biggest mistake was tearing down a good personnel department and letting Jimmy and the coaching staff build the draft boards. It worked initially but was awful post-Jimmy.

And why was it awful post-Jimmy? Because it was run by Jerry and Lacewell. Once Jimmy left Jerry should've been wise enough to hire a real GM and build the scouting dept back up. But in his lust for recognition and glory, he wanted to prove he could do the same thing Jimmy did. And it ultimately led to three straight 5-11 seasons.

I'd love to find a thread where you haven't whizzed on a media report or the media in general. It would be a nice change for sure.

Would it be as nice of a change from the "TO is a Distraction" posts? How about the "I Hate Jerry Jones" threads? Or the "We Will Never Win with Romo at QB" rants?

How freakin' annoying are those? But I'll try to take it a little easier on the guys who have been caught lying and are trying to tear the team apart for no reason other than ratings and to generate readers, they deserve some respect I guess.

It's not about liking it, they have been shown to be lying on numerous occasions but one of them came out and said that Jerry was gonna cut Romo tomorrow- some would still lap it up as gospel.
