What Happened to Cowboys Fans?

Hum, well I'll blame it on 23+ years of a nothing burger, AND those stinking millennials! When you truly have nothing to fall back on, I mean what history can a new young fan actually have but the word of the media? Most fans today have never seen this team do squat but roll off losse's and good players.

We use to be one of the most intelligent fan bases in the NFL. Now we hang off of every word of the media's click bait that is purposely targeting our uniformed response.

The negative tend to be the most outspoken, so when you get a few of them shouting mindless drivel, the mob mentality takes effect, and others who normally wouldn't have that point of view are swayed to light their torches and grab their pitchforks.

I was talking to a young Cowboys fan last night at the bar. I mentioned being a fan through the rough times makes it all pay off when we win it all like when we went 1-15. He nearly passed out and questioned if I was telling him the truth. I thought he was going to die when I told him Troy, Emmitt and Irvin were on the team and Jimmy was the coach.

Since when? To me the Cowboys fan base has always been the most clueless on the planet.

Any fan base that would hate Romo is completely clueless. And many did it for 10 years straight. Any fan base that would support the horrid Garrett is clueless. Some have done it for 12 years.

Jerry and Garrett should have been run out of town by now. In places with less success like Philly or NY the fans even have higher standards. Heck I lived in Tampa Bay and even those fans were buying billboard space by the stadium to run bad coaches out of town.

Thing is, we know Garrett isn't going anywhere until Jerry gets tired of him, so billboards and such would be pointless. Very few fans actually like Garrett, but some simply see no recourse but to wait and hope, with a realistic eye on his faults and strengths.

Right, and it would be a surprise mainly because it DIDN'T take us another 23 years to climb out of that mess. To date, ever since the Johnson ear ended, this team has basically gone backwards toward that 1-15 season, not the other way around. I'll admit things look brighter, but we've all said that before.

True, but I think we're seeing the "total control by Jerry" era coming to an end, so for me at least their is a better basis for hope than "well every team gets good sooner or later"...
