Which is it?

[kskboys]

People blame Dallas's failures on the Jones placing profit above winning. This is nonsense. JJ is old, and a few more $million doesn't mean anything to him at this point. He wants to win.

The Cowboys are a hobby for him. Playing amateur GM is fun, and he can afford it. While he doesn't value money over winning, he does value his own enjoyment over winning. He prefers being in the limelight with a microphone in front of his mouth, over handing control to a real GM.

I've tried to tell them this many times, but people keep throwing out the money thing.

Jerry does not want to win. He wants to massage his own ego.

Here is the bottom line for what the Joneses want: Play their little game and continuously assuage their own egos. That's it.

AS long as the money is still flowing in they are happy.

Agreed. If winning a championship was the bottom line for this front office, Jerry and Stephen would have already made big changes. Like hiring and empowering more qualified football people. Yeah Will McClay is here and I’m glad. But let’s be honest, he’s not making decisions.

But playing football big shots is the Jones boys ultimate fantasy football league. Winning a championship would be nice for them but that’s clearly not their penultimate driving goal or they would have already stepped aside.

If once again the Cowboys front office chooses this off-season to go the bargain basement route in free agency to enhance their roster, what does it say about their thinking? What is their logic? Which of these phrases is most true?

• A. They honestly believe “their way” (despite all the evidence of the last three decades to the contrary) is going to somehow win a championship.
• B. They really don’t know how to build a roster that can compete for a championship and know it, but don’t care enough to change or just hope they get lucky.
• C. They are completely delusional and believe their own PR.
• D. All of the above.

At this point, I believe it’s either B or C.
You?

D.............all of the above

The thing that Jerry wants more than anything in this world is something he cannot buy.............CREDIT

Jerry wants all the credit for the product on the field and if the choice is for him to bow out and hire a real GM that would get the credit instead of him, well he honestly would rather lose.

That is the cold, hard truth.

Jerry would rather go 28 yrs of not even reaching a championship game then for a head coach like Jimmy Johnson or Bill Parcells to get the credit........sad, but 100% true

E) A stinkeroo year costs more money than a SB makes up.
F) Jerry has finally learned we're *not* always just a player away.

No we don't. Anyone in the league did not draft Kelvin, Escobar, Jaylon, etc.

If we're so good at drafting, then explain to me why we kept losing in the playoffs because we couldn't stop the run.

I guess draft day decisions like taking Mo Claiborne over Fletcher Cox didn't work out so well. When was the last time we drafted an interior lineman that was good for 8+ years?

E. They feel they got burned 10 years ago signing Brandon Carr, but fail to realize Bobby Wagner is parting ways with the Rams after ONE year into a big deal. Randy Gregory is in his first year of a big deal and Armstrong played better than him. Stuff happens, take chances. Stop saying you want to win, and aren't doing anything to help you win!

Carr is their EXCUSE; the reason is they are making plenty of money on the status quo and see no reason to change

 

[jterrell]

why have a 3rd RB if your OC only calls 16 run plays and didn't use Malik on one Run pay..seriosly..it why hes gone.. somehow KC used 4 relatively unknown Rbs and a gimpy qb to take it to the eagles it the 2nd half..was more about the OL and OC that just said lets do this..

Our OL and OC said lets lose this game because trying harder and being better wasn't in the cards that day.

They knew by halfway through the season Zeke was playing through injury.
They didn't trust Malik and could have gotten a veteran RB3 in here for cheap.
Stretching out Pollard to his most carries ever week over week was a recipe for disaster.
You can't afford everything but you can ALWAYS afford a legit RB3.

They don't need an excuse or permission.
They do what they want and you are here talking about them.
Fans that cry all year are just another means of lining their pockets.
Fans see no reason to change so why should they?

 

[jterrell]

Also are we still cryign today? Or we taking yesterday and running with it?

A and a modified B.

B. They really don't know how to build a roster, and know everybody knows it, but they've dug in their heels and have the attitude that they're going to show everyone they were right all along, even if it takes another 50 years.

ddint trust i saw malik as a very good payer and they used him a lot late in games no different then Pollard how slow he was brought into the mix and mistakes made by the same OC that also didnt use Mlaik properly. Sorry but we all know pollard wasn't being used enough or properly early on and malik got some skills and was wasted by our beloved EX-OC.

thats the fact you are missing. Trusting that OC , you do NOT at least TRY and use payer like malik when well you have nothing to LOSE in that 2nd half. the OC lost his job because of those decisions, not because he was bad OC he simply dint respect the run game. we see team use 3-4 RBS when they aren't sure we saw KC use RBBC and beat that vaunted eagles D down with 3 RBs and gimpy QB because they trusted the system and the calls and that the team would get it done. The run game while better used last year at the demand of MM and Jones , it still would get abandoned and for sure not designed and disguised very well.

all facts sorry but Malik should have been used more no need for another RB that the OC would have wasted anyway. our OC just never bought into the run game schemed and designs ie as much as he seemed to luv being creative in the pass game he threw in the run game as to appease his bosses but didn't like it.it never seemed to work off each other..
