Why does Jerry lie?

[Davidlee1973]

You know what, I understand we don’t have the money under the cap to do much. Daks hit on 2027 is 76 million dollars. Every year rather than tell the truth, that they have made some bad decisions on certain contracts. Jerry spews the lie “he is all in”. So free agency happens and they do nothing to improve the team. This is always followed by Stephen coming out and saying how they are happy with their trades, and how they like their guys and the resigned a key piece we are very excited about the draft and they are adding to the roster 365 days a year. It’s coming. Just for once I want Jerry to put down the Johnny walker and say straight up. That he is to blame, he is sorry for misrepresenting the franchise and he is working to shed the over burdensome contracts. He just can’t do it.

This is how I feels

Because half the fanbase has a room temp IQ and buys his lies. Cowboys are gonna be the bestest next year. Jerry and Stephen are gonna take us all the way with their shrewd moves and big spending. If you don't believe that, you're a hater.

Put it this way. In the past when he has lied, exactly what has been the result of it? Did he suffer from it or did people believe it and run out to buy more merch and season tickets? At some point the "he lied again" excuse rings hollow.

To keep taking your money?

Jerry is a snakeoil salesman, always has been!

Jerry could sell Ice to an eskimo or water to a drowning man

Why does Jerry lie?​

Has not hurt sales yet....

 

[zrinkill]

Because he will always have naive cowboy fans to support him ....... .like the Stallone Bros

I’m not gonna insult this fanbase. Some people are just fans. At this point the Cowboys brand is bigger than Jerry. People root in spite of him not because of him.

Yes ....... that is what they believe ....... then when confronted with the truth they become all diplomatic and want to stop the bickering ......

I’m not sure who is worse you or rockport.

You want Jerry to admit he's a failure as a GM?
Don't think that's happening even though 30 years of futility is pretty damning.
Best we can do is wait for Jerry to move on and hope Stephen hires a real GM.

This is why Jerry lies:

1. To gain attention
2. To stroke his ego
3. To prove to the world he knows what he's doing
4. Our opponents love him. He is their 12th man on both defense and offense.
5. Last, because Jimmy Johnson reamed his butt and told him that he ever became GM he will never reach the Superbowl.

All of this is possible. But it’s also possible he’s delusional.

They DO have money and cap room. That’s another lie they tell when they say BS like, “we will look at players that make financial sense.” You have 2 year window right now, and in the current iteration of the NFL you have to be very aggressive in acquiring talent, which means overpaying FAs and making big trades. The Rams were in the NFCCG game and what did they do? Traded for an All Pro CB and signed another one to a huge deal because that was their biggest weakness. Dallas has no good AND healthy LBs, no edges and huge questions at CB. But they signed a decent safety and traded for a past his prime, low effort edge. Ridiculous.

 

[dacopacabana]

Because he’s a billionaire. How else do you think they make their billions? No soul.

 

[Zman5]

What was that line from the Bible? Something about it being easier for Camel to do something?

You don't become a very rich man by being an honest man.

 

[MRV52]

Another season not making the playoffs is what he needs to be ridiculed again.

Its time for me to get off this board for a while as we dont seem like we are signing anyone else of importance. Now tension is settling in, I know I'm irritated and dont wanna call anyone out out of frustration.

I'll be back when we resign Pickens, trade Osa, which would be a mistake or during the draft. Depending on the order these events happen
