OK I will spell this out for you guys.
Jerry has been an owner longer.
Jerry got the benefit of an idiotic trade to get a boat load of draft picks.
Jerry go lucky and got 3 hof'ers at 3 key positions.
Now if you are honest with yourselves...Jerry and Danny are very much alike based on recent history.
Don't tell me the boys won the superbowls BECAUSE of Jerry. You don't really believe that do you??????????
Yeah it is all about luck.
Let me ask you this, if you acknowledge that stockpiling Draft picks helped build the Cowboys into a Super Bowl winner why do you ignore the point I made about the Commanders trading away Draft picks?
Since we got "lucky" wouldn't that make you unlucky?
There are a few similarities between Jerry and Dan, but there is one very big difference that you are ignoring as well. Jerry came into the NFL and in his first 5 years in the league won 2 Super Bowls with Jimmy Johnson at the helm. He let that go to his head a little bit. Your owner came into the NFL with a swelled head. Jerry paid his dues before he was successful. Dan simply assumed he had a birthright.
2 more years and Jerry added a 3rd Super Bowl, still basically with Jimmy's team but he did pull off some moves on his own.
Success spoiled Jerry and made him over confident. Dan came in spoiled and over confident.
There's a pretty big difference between the 2 right there.
Now, I will not tell you that Dan is a bad owner, because he isn't. In fact he's a very good owner. Give me an owner who wants to win badly any day of the week over an owner like Bill Bidwell who could care less. Jerry learned the hard way that he needed to pull back and with the hiring of Bill Parcells has done that.
Can you please tell me how Dan has had an epiphany? He's still doing the exact same things he did the day he bought the team and it isn't working. Your team is going to hit rok bottom due to the Salary Cap. His football people have done a good job managing the Cap. I'll give you that. But eventually high priced players will be let go to create cap room and you don't have draft picks being groomed to take over at most of those positions because you traded them away. On purpose.
That's not bad luck, that's bad management.
