Jerry is a great owner. He will spend his money on what HE thinks is talent.
Thats where the problem comes in. JJ sucks as a GM. Aikman said that Johnson ran this team when he was here. I would guess Aikman would know.
Parcells ran this team when he was here, we are way,way better for it.
There are many lean years in between not only in wins but also in gathering talented players.
So to say JJ is the best owner/gm is ...... well dumb.
What did giving the majority of control on coaching and player personnel really net you over the last 4 years. Mediocre season after season highlighted by consistent December swoons.
I would state that Parcells has elevated the talent on this team to a good degree. With the purported improved scouting department and the new head coach at the helm I don't see Jones going back to the Campo years.
I don't think Jones is interested in cultivating the controlling owner image and he has major distractions looming such as successfully completing a billion dollar stadium.
I would have to agree that in the aggregate Jones is one of the best owners in the NFL. Add in his accessibility with the fans and players and his overall enthusiasm for the job I believe Jones is pretty much the best owner in football. Kraft is maybe savvier, but Jones has panache. It is not boring being a fan of the Cowboys except when you have to endure a predictable conservative and uninspiring coach at the helm.
