Why people continue to defend the Jones is mindnumbing to me

I’m soon to be 52 years old, relatively good health (knock on wood), I have seen the last Cowboys SB win of my lifetime.

I truly believe that, mainly because dumb and dumber have no concept of roster building. Football isn’t even a priority for those 2 idiots.

I second this notion. My biggest frustration is I don't feel football is a priority with Jerry and Stephen. I feel priority 1 is them being celebrities, priority 2 is selling the business. If we have happen to win football games while achieving priority 1 and 2 then it's a bonus for them.

If winning football championships is a priority for them then they would have changed the system a long time ago. 25+ years of suckage is enough of a sample size to realize what you're doing isn't working. So the only conclusion is winning football games is not as important to them as making money and being celebrities.

How they have handled the OT spot since last season ended is a case study in their ineptitude. Tyron Smith is a great LT, when healthy. He's never completely healthy. Banking on him to be healthy for a full season is always a risk. It should surprise zero people, including the two nitwits running the team, that Smith got hurt....... again.

They decided the other starting OT, Collins, was too much of a headache, making too much money to bring back. They had Steele in the wings and they thought he made Collins expendable. Only problem is that even with his flaws, Collins was easily one of your 2-3 best OTs on the roster. With, again, the other top OT being a complete injury risk every season. Nevertheless, they sent Collins packing.

So they had Smith and Steele. And then the depth chart was basically Ball, a guy who had never taken a NFL snap. They sat on their ***** in FA when there were decent OT options out there in FA. They threw a draft pick in the later rounds at an OT from North Dakota. Jerry and Stephen looked at each other and believed they were in fine shape at OT.

They weren't. Most fans have been saying this for two months. But Jerry and Stephen plowed ahead thinking everything was great. And then what was entirely predictable, Smith getting hurt, happened and what the Cowboys have right now is a turnstile in Ball and them forcing a kid with a shoulder injury from North Dakota to try to play through the pain and not damage his shoulder further.

And many yahoos on this board defended the front office on how they handled the OT spot. Geezus.

Oh and guess what? They are doing the same thing with the WR spot.

This is EXACTLY why I said cutting LC would bite us in the butt. We needed depth and instead we cut a starting tackle. I didn't love LC, but we have no contingency once Smith goes down.

What always sickens me is thinking how many Lombardis we would have the in the last 25 years had he handled things the way he did in the first 5 years....I try not to think about it.

He did not handle them in the first 5 ....... Jimmy Johnson did ....... Jerry was trying to get the business side in shape ..... he is very good at that ...... but after we won that first Superbowl, Jerry started wanting to be involved with everything ...... and thats when Jimmy had enough.

Jerry's legacy as a GM won't be anything pretty to behold by those who follow his career closely. He might be in the ROH as an owner who knew how to enrichen his franchise, but as a "football man" he'll surely be regarded as a sad-sack flop. While he'd be wise to make up for his inept handling by hiring a competent GM, he's stubbornly avoided it for far too long to humbly backtrack on his biggest mistake. What a shame for the team and its fans!

Because what else would they use against my objective observations about this team other than my deep seething hatred of Booger?

And I don’t hate him, don’t give him that much space in my mind.

However, you come here, you have to handle the incessant chatter about the owner which does not happen on any other sports sites other than the Cowboys. Just look at the % of threads about him. Think he doesn’t smile seeing all of this attention and don’t think an ego driven narcissist like him doesn’t check out what’s being said about him here.

lol , jerry doesnt come here. he probably doesnt even visit the official cowboys site.
Jerry is a unique owner in that he is constantly in the media saying something stupid or promoting something, or causing something like the dak
contract debate which went on for 2 years lol.

It’s probably more people are just tired of hearing nonstop crying about it. Like them or not they aren’t selling the team or hiring a gm. So why cry about it nonstop? Focus on what you can control. If it bugs people that much they should pull for another team.

Then why did you enter this thread?
