What is the tangible problem Jerry causes this team?

[CowboysFaninHouston]

What tangible problem do Jerry Jones and spawn create?

• Jones does not allow his head coaches to have control over the hiring/firing of their staff.
• Jones does not allow his head coach to have control over the 53 man roster.
• Jones and spawn have weekly radio shows where they routinely undercut the messaging from their head coach, and serves no purpose to benefit the football operation.
• Jones routinely holds a media gathering after each game where he creates more distractions for his coach and team with his stream of consciousness blathering.
• Jones brings sponsors through practices and the locker room, which creates additional distractions for his team to deal with.
• Jones built the team training facility in and around a business complex where it was designed to allow the community to mix with the team. While it's great for the bottom line, how does this benefit a team preparing for a game and remaining focused?
• Jones sits in on coaches meetings, and meetings will be delayed if he's late.
• Jones has an open door policy with his players, which blurs if not eradicates the line of authority between a head coach and his players.

Did I miss anything?

the focus of this organization is to maximize its profits, short term and long term. its not about winning football games......it starts at the top and its the corporate culture....

Dude, Will McClay has the greatest job in mankind.

If the Cowboys draft well, and manage personnel well, he gets all of the credit.

If they don't draft well, people pillory Jerry Jones.

Why would you leave a job like that when you're well compensated? If he wants to be the front man for the operation, there's accountability that goes with it. In Dallas, he gets the best of both worlds.

Real football people want to build a superbowl. If McClay didn’t think they would win with Jerry in charge he wouldn’t stay because eventually Jerry would turn on him.

There's no conspiracy, just observations. So you've excused Jerry for 2009 until today, but who is (are) the scapegoat (scapegoats) for the 13 years prior to 2009?

Jerry's management style creates a lack of accountability from the top down, gives players little to no reason to care what coaches think of them, and hasn't worked for over two decades despite several coaching changes.

But yeah, it's just "mass conspiracies" to hide the real problem.

Not sure where you see that I excused Jerry. It's quite the opposite, actually.

 

[birdwells1]

you know what that indicates? the corporate culture...Jerry is about marketing and making money and I have always made the argument that his business side over rules his GM football side and he makes business decisions that are often short term.....he sells hope, flash to put butts in seats, sell jersey's....as a result that culture, that mindset is throughout the organization and as you outlined, the players are doing the same thing instead of spending time studying film, doing extra work, they are marketing and doing radio shows.....

the fact is that the sole focus of the cowboys is not winning super bowls, although its said in words...the actions say otherwise....

True. I think some time ago JJ figured out that there's one category he can control (milk) and that generating revenue through the Dallas Cowboys and the Cowboy's brand. They already had the word most popular brand when he purchased the team so in terms of marketing the team, the Dallas Cowboys brand marketed itself. He built the new stadium not to give the team a home field advantage but to generate revenue, he built the Star not to help the team win games but to generate revenue. After Jimmy, left at some time, Jerry found out that winning a super bowl was harder the Jimmy made it look and he had to compete with the other 31 teams on an even playing field and he didn't like those odds. Now don't get me wrong Jerry would love to win a sb to prove to all his naysayer wrong and shove that Lombardi in our faces but he just doesn't know how. So he resign to prioritizing what he's good at and that promoting and milking the brand.

p.s. Why do you think JJ loves number 1 wrs, star rbs and star qb? Well go to the games and see whose jerseys are worn. The last time this team had no names at those positions was when Parcells was here.

If Jerry was a big problem with the team not having success, why would Will McClay turn down a GM offer from his HOMETOWN?

You only do that if you believe you can build a winner where you are.

We’ll see what Jerry does with the assistant coaches this next cycle. Does he pin Richard and Marinelli on someone who has no ties to them? If so then yes, this team has no chance.

There's no if, dude.

So, no matter what we tell you, no matter what proof is provided(And there's been a ton), no matter how many ways it's proven beyond any doubt that Jerry is the problem, you're just going to deny.

Are you a youngster, by any chance?

Jerry owns it, Jerry manages it, Jerry can't stop talking about it, Jerry hasn't come close to winning anything in 23+ years.

But what tangible problems does Jerry cause?

 

[JW82]

Watch all or nothing. It will show you all you need to know about what a cancer he is to leadership on that team.

There’s been a lot of talk the last few days of how Jerry is interfering in how Jason wants to run the team. He says things on the radio. Well of course he does. It’s part of the teams contract with the radio station.

What does anything Jerry say have to do with Jaylon missing tackles in the open field or Maher missing kicks?

Jerry hasn’t been any different his whole career. Yet supposedly, magically when the team went on the run last year he stopped interfering?

Or when they went 13-3 in 2016 with the Romo issue which had to kill him personally he was silent but yet caused destruction in the playoff game vs GB?

Please. Talking heads are trying to find sophisticated reasons beyond rehashing the same stuff. Yes I know it came from Troy which means it probably came from Garrett. But if you’re in the NFL you’re paid to do your job.

Now if Jason wanted to cut Maher and Jerry said no then ok that’s a TANGIBLE problem. Or if he’s dictating Zeke get 25 carries a game no matter what. But there has NEVER been concrete proof he’s ever done anything to demand play calls.

The team has just been cursed by not focusing on details on every snap going back to Romos dropped hold vs Seattle. That’s a coaching and player issue not owner/GM issue because these things seem to pop up at the weirdest times like Zekes fumble vs NO. It’s not like he’s keeping guys that have a track record of this aside from Maher. That’s just because there’s no better options available.

1997-2000 Jerry’s ego got in the way.

2000-2003 Team was in cap hell for Aikman and Irvin retiring. Also didn’t draft well.

2003-06 Parcells cleaned it up

2006-10 Wade let the all star team Parcells put together police itself. Didn’t end well.

2010-19 Team has been built well but when they’re most talented they take things for granted and assume it’s going to be handed to them. When they’re counted out they focus more like 2016 and 2018

Man, I don't know what you are blinded by, but it appears to be some major drugs.
