Was the 2024 season essentially a Jerry temper tantrum for the GB playoff loss?

[Cowboys5217]

No, it was a tantrum against angry Cowboys fans. He systematically made the opposite or worst possible choice on all major decisions from the consensus of the fans just to spite us for not believing Jerry is a football guy. Naturally, every one of these decisions blew up in his narcissistic face because he's a moron.

If 2 plus 2 is 4, can it also be 15?

this is what posters sound like when they know the answer BUT they want to convince themselves of something else.

Is it possible JJ was right, but everyone else was wrong and the way to the SB is to be lackluster?

Nope, everything else sounds stupid.

There is no justifying not making certain moves, like Henry but than spending money on players that make zero sense, until you break the code and than you re like ok everything makes sense now.

Sorry 6 foot is 6 foot, you need air to breath, thats life.

Jerry Jones, biggest kool aid seller of his time.

So I wonder….When I look back on the disastrous 2024 season, and after some time to reflect, I’m starting to wonder - was this crazy off-season and season just an extended temper tantrum for Jerry Jones, upset by the worst playoff loss in team history last January to the packers? And instead of acting like a responsible, focused GM, did he just act like a spoiled child upset that his favorite toy disappointed him?

Instead of thinking clearly and decisively, Jerry appears to have just decided to make the 2024 season a kamikaze mission designed to express his frustration. Instead of getting past it by analyzing not only why it happened but what was needed to get better, it appears he may have just wanted to make everyone “uncomfortable” as he likes to call it.

Before anyone says, “That’s crazy Bob”, let me remind any Cowboys fan that Jerry Jones has thrown whole seasons away before. Like the 2000-02 seasons which were three straight 5-11 throwaways under Dave Campo. Or the decade long experiment with Jason Garrett getting us to the playoffs three times so we could win two wild card games.

Most GMs whose livelihood and reputations are on the line would never have taken the almost laughably bad road JJ took this year in the off-season. And despite the lies about the cap he and his #1 son have spewed, he actually had two sane choices:

1. Deciding the Mike McCarthy experiment was done and the team needed a new direction AND infusion of talent. Mac is fired and a new leader is brought in and the reset button pushed.
2. Or realizing that Big Mac was still the guy to lead us and is given an extension to try again. A few FAs signed, a great draft class - it was certainly possible.

Either approach could have been rational and measured. He chose neither. He chose to…well do what he did which was the worst off-season I’ve ever seen in my 5+ decades as a Cowboys fan. And as we stand today we are essentially worse off than when the GB loss ended last January. It’s a complete self inflicted mess.

Was the 2024 season just an extended temper tantrum by the only unaccountable GM in the NFL?

Someone made a point the other day, we didn't sign him after the GB loss, but we could end up giving him a new deal after a 7-10 season??? Lol, how can you motivate the fans with this????

 

[Coogiguy03]

It's possible, yes. He was already incompetent and prone to make stupid decisions but his declining mental health will probably make things even worse from now on.

I think he'll be having more and more of those ''tantrums'', his brain is literally rotting away and no one in his yes man entourage has the courage to do something about it because they're afraid the old man will disown them.

With every mcdonald's mgriddle with salt will surely do that, and the Jack!!!

you are not motivating, you are crowd control. take the sports shows, they like to use buzz words, now they use game changer and difference maker. they want to see if the public starts parroting their words to know who they got and who is easy to manipulate. than we have a bunch of posters running around using the new words like they just got smarter.

Tell a lie long enough, it just becomes truth

JJ wants to win a SB

30 years of JJ NOT winning a SB but posters have convinced themselves, JJ wants to win a SB.

not sure what the temper tantrum means?
Jerry has no idea about 2026 until 2025 off season.
he makes no long term plans.
he is now only focused on 2025 and in a way that would help him fill the seats, sell jerseys and make money and market the cowboys
he is absolutely lapping up all the attention. why else would he not allow the coach to talk to another team, when the coach has shown every intention of not wanting to come back, which is same with Jerry.
Media attention.

so no. not a temper tantrum. unplanned perhaps. he is an idiot to think we lose two veterans from OL, replace with two rookies and the continuity just hums.
thinking people are pissed off. I need to make a move, lets trade a 4th (who cares its a 4th round pick anyway) for Mingo, who was 5th on his team WR depth chart!!

Jerry is an idiot.

Anyone claiming Jerry is a football guy has some clear mental issues. I mean, he's gone out of his way to prove he's not.

If someone who knew nothing about sports or NFL football were told this story, it would almost be unbelievable.

he straight up shows the fans what hes doing and they go to war swearing to high heavens thats NOT what hes doing.

he fumbled into one of the best fan bases ever

Amen.

Me and a buddy are always making fun of the media claiming a college prospect is a "winner". What does that even mean? They called Teblows a winner. Maybe it means there's nothing much good we can say about you so we make tish up?

Holy Larry Jehosaphat, you are correct!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ScipioCowboy]

Fundamentally, I think you’re correct—although I would use a different term.

After he landed his helicopter on the practice field during practice, I began describing everything after the playoff loss as a “flex.” From re-signing Zeke to beating his chest about contracts and ticket sales to joking about his players’ genitalia with poor Jamie Foxx, it was all a flex.

He was intent on showing the world he was boss and was intentionally driving the team into the ground to prove the point. He wanted us to know we were at his mercy.

 

[ShiningStar]

Amen.

it very much is.

the purpose for teh shows is like cartoons, sell the product.

no one is giving honest opinions, they want reels, awesome displays, and cool fonts.

you sell buzz words, you bash the audience with quick sounds and clips and than have a 15 person panel discussing what a team is doing.

Uh Terry, what is a west coast QB in this scheme trying to do by getting the ball to the reciever?

Well Bob, hes throwing the ball, beacuse you can either throw it or hand it off.

What an earth shattering observation that is Terry

There are very few if any sports executives who have consistently proven they don’t know how to build a championship roster than JJ. The reason there are almost zero is all the normal organizations fire people who can’t produce.

If Jerry had been throwing a tantrum he wouldn't have given the record contract he gave to Dak.
Dak is the biggest reason the Cowboys lost that game.
No, Jerry took a page from the Jets and Joe Namath, hoping that the amount he paid Dak would give fans something to focus on, hoping they would take pride in the fact that "Dak was the highest paid player in the NFL". The Jets publicized Joe's $400,000 contract and it brought fans in to see the guy that was worth so much.
He misread it completely.
Fans were upset, and so we're the rest of the Cowboys.
They may not say it publicly, but they know they will never succeed with Dak Prescott as their quarterback.
Which is why they suddenly showed signs of life when Cooper Rush took over.
But it was too late.

Jerry doesnt fire himself because Jerry is succeeding at what Jerry is doing.


The fans have to FIRE themselves.


This is why our fan base is laughable.

"CB shuts down half the field."

Great way to put it…a “flex”. He has to stick it to his critics by showing them, “I can do whatever I want as long as I want”.

Sure he would. Why wouldn't he?
