I have been a Cowboys fans for over 25 years. I grew up watching Randy White, Danny White, Too Tall, Everson Walls, Eugene Lockhart, etc. I hate to quantify my Cowboy fandom but I’ve learned over the years reading message boards some fans equate a post count to actual football knowledge.
Which is completely stupid.
So they’ll look at my 15 or whatever posts and conclude that I’m just some “noob” who doesn’t know football.
Meanwhile guys with 30,000 plus posts are seen as having elite football minds with incredible insight into the team. When truth be told they really aren’t any more knowledgeable than the rest of us. They just happen to have more free time on their hand. We know who those guys are. No need to name names.
But this isn’t about that.
This is about wondering how long do we have to sit through the status quo with Jerry and company before we see some tangible changes made in the franchise.
Aside from a couple of seasons it’s the same song every year. We get to December in great shape only to come crashing down to earth over the final month.
IMO, coaches and players need to be purged. The defensive coaching staff needs to be overhauled. If Rob Ryan doesn’t want them, get rid of them. Guys like Campo and Houck should be gone no matter what.
Their units consistently under-perform year after year.
As for the players I think we all have a clear understanding of which players need to be replaced. No need to beat that dead horse.
And does Jerry ever get to a point where he looks at himself in the mirror and says “I’m not cutting the mustard. I’m one of the anchors holding this franchise in a state of mediocrity.” I often wonder what will it take for him to finally point the finger at himself and realize that he’s part of the problem.
Jerry GMing this team is akin to me winning the $500 million dollar Power Ball lottery, buying the majority stake in AT&T then trying to make the day to day decisions on the direction of the company. It wouldn’t work because even though I had the funds to buy into the company, I’m not qualified to make critical day to day decisions that will lead to continued prosperity.
And that’s the problem in Dallas. We have a billionaire owner who is not qualified for his position. I’m willing to bet anyone any amount that if Jerry Jones were a GM on the open market not a single team would call him to offer him a job. Not one.
And that’s saying something.
Do you guys realize we could very easily have been swept in the NFC East. If not for a couple of miracle comebacks against the equally inept Commanders we’re 0-6 in the division.
I’m writing all this out of frustration because I don’t see that light at the end of the tunnel. It’s sickening.
I don’t have much hope for next year because I don’t trust the current group to make the right personnel decisions to get this thing moving back in the right direction.
Drafts and free agent acquisitions have for the most part been unspectacular and underwhelming.
Jerry has repeatedly stated that he’s not stepping down anytime soon.
Garrett is stubborn and is green as an OC and HC. Every week he makes a call in a critical situation that leaves you scratching your head.
So the question remains worth asking. When is enough, enough?
