Why Even Miracles Don't Happen for the Cowboys?

[DallasEast]

Maybe they should try to bless some blue lable then.

What do you think?

I'm all for it if they can get it to burn as it goes down his throat.

Indiana winning the Natty was the biggest preseason long shot to win a title in at least 25 years. Seattle was 6,000-to-1 to win the Super Bowl. Miracles clearly happen in sports.

So why does it feel like miracles can’t happen for the Cowboys?

I honestly think it comes down to the Jones family. An 85-year-old GM running football ops in today’s NFL just isn’t sustainable, and Jerry’s pride seems to be the biggest obstacle keeping this team from winning a sixth Lombardi.

At what point do we stop blaming coaches and players and acknowledge the constant is ownership and control?

Thoughts?

I don't believe in luck, fate or miracles. Just in clever decisions, a healthy risk appetite, hard work and devotion. If these come together it sometimes seems you got lucky. The idea is, that even if some things you couldn't influence went your way unexpectedly, you had to bring yourself into a position to take advantage of them in the first place.

So with the Cowboys you always have at least one of them missing. In the last years especially I would say that was the absence of clever decision making.

There you go.

Are you kidding me?

Yeah, Jerry is still breathing

This fan has been hoping for a miracle for the last 30 years but no dice

I can't believe anybody on this forum truly believes that if Jerry wanted to win a Super bowl that he couldn't do it.

This man is worth close to 20 billion dollars he has the resources and the power to build a team that can win one of those little silver trophies with the Packers coaches name on it but that's about how he looks at it at this point in time.

I don't care what he tells the media or the fans the proof of the pudding is in the eating.

Does anybody think that it's some kind of strange coincidence or miracle that he has built the most valuable team in all of sports now it's not because this is his priority and what he wants to do.

This is how the whole culture of the team is geared and every player and coach along with the whole front office understand what's important and his priorities.

Jerry wanting to be the owner and general manager of the team is designed so he has control of all the money so he can make the most money and be the most valuable franchise.

If Jerry hired a general manager their priority would be to win a championship not be the most valuable franchise and it would cost Jerry a lot more money to do that.

Just look at the money he saves on the head coach shoddy cost 5 millions a coach like harbaugh or Andy Reid cost 20.

Sure he spend some money on some top players for splash but Jerry is doing exactly what he wants to do working with his family creating generational wealth and using our iconic beloved football team to do it.

No miracle is ever going to fix this until the Joneses don't own the team anymore.
Jerry is winning at exactly what he wants to win at being the most valuable sports franchise in the world every year it's his Super bowl and he doesn't care about winning one on the field for us.

It's like in Mel Brooks History of the world Jerry's the king and it's good to be the king he loves Us peasants as he shoots us out of the catapult that's all we are a means to his end.

We are just the blind followers who let him build his fortune.

There you go.

There is no absence of clever decision making Jerry is one of the most clever decision makers anywhere around.

Jerry made the decision quite a while back that generational wealth working with his family and making his team the most profitable in sports was his goal.

What is so very clever is that he keeps his fan base just engaged enough to stay relevant stay in the news keep being talked about and on television every week.

Jerry has made a lot of clever decisions to be a billionaire many times over.
Anybody on this forum would take being a billionaire over a dumpster full of Vince Lombardi trophies.
The clever decisions Jerry has made has provided an incredible life and lifestyle for his family for generation to come.

Does anybody on this forum really think someone in Jerry's family is foolish enough to rock the boat and question his decisions when he has provided everything they will ever need for generations, to come.

Who is going to bite the hand that feeds them for a disgruntled bunch of fans that want another silver trophy.
We fans mean absolutely nothing to Jerry and his family

Yup. Nail on head.

Jerry doesn't care about us, and has given us a myriad of proof thereof.

What's amazing is that he ran back the same team minus Parsons and Lewis, and there were actually people here who thought we'd win.

And in all honesty after we acquired Williams and the linebacker at the trade deadline won those games even on Thanksgiving.
I was a little optimistic myself and thought maybe it was enough to get to the playoffs and then reality slap me in the teeth.

Jerry gives us just enough to bait us in to having that little thread of Hope.
He has it down to an art form.
All I ask for anymore is to have some decent football to watch from my team that I grew up with idolizing.
I know a Super bowl is never in the cards but it is nice to win on Thanksgiving Day and of course beat the eagles.

 

[Blackrain]

It's a very tough pill for most fans to swallow that Jerry will not do what is necessary to win a Super bowl.

It just goes against everything that you grew up with or you were ever taught about sports and sportsmanship.

But the sooner fans accept this fact and what Jerry's goals truly are the less they will be frustrated by the results they see from our team every year.

He made the trade just to keep us relevant. Can't be relevant when you're in last place.

Yes he threw us a little bone and we won a few games even Thanksgiving.

There was a small thread of light at the end of the tunnel but soon enough it went black.

It's very disheartening to realize that Jerry is never ever going to give us enough to be truly competitive

Meritocracy is the biggest lie we are told in this life. Jerry Jones is proof of that lie.

What's worse is his son will double down on that lie.

Forged in his father's image and will make us suffer mediocre football play for at least another 15 years till the next Jones takes over

An 85 year old body is unsustainable. So there’s that.

Until this organization starts acting like an organization on the raise and hires a real GM, to make the real personnel decisions, this organization isn't going to sniff a SB................

Jerry and Cap Boy are devils. Bad guys that run this team like a piggy bank and a vanity project. They can't win and won't.

He simply cannot do it because he is a narcissist. His ego simply won't let him self reflect honestly. It is impossible for Jerry to build a SB team. It doesn't matter how much money he throws at it.

Nobody else in professional team sports history kept a GM job anywhere close to 30 years without once making it to a title game. Everyone else got fired long before that.

And I once again point out the math study that showed that every single human being on Earth has a 98.2% chance of doing better than Jerry Jones if they were given the same circumstances.

You know what's even more amazing? There are a few CZ members who are convinced Jerry has learned his lesson and will go all in on free agency. They're going to be so disappointed.

Fool me once shame on me. Fool me twice shame on you. But many idiots here at CZ have let Jerry fool them for 30 years straight, and it isn't funny any longer.

Jerry isn't building his fortune off of me, I can promise you that.
