Winning a Super Bowl shouldn't be the goal

[leeblair]

Some think it's all about a Super Bowl, and that's all that matters. Mortgage the team's future for just one season in which they get to do all of the interviews and reap all of the glory.
But if the Cowboys want to be the franchise that made the world fall in love with them, greatness is the goal.
But that is something this franchise apparently doesn't understand. From Jason Garrett saying "Be great today", to Dak Prescott promising to win Jerry a championship, all the way to the circus atmosphere and sales hype from Jerry's ringleader business model, it is clear that there is no one in the building that understands how or what greatness is.
It can't be spoken. It can't be bought. Fancy uniforms don't make a team great. A big stadium doesn't make a team great- although it helps. From the sounds of the interviews and the manner in which this franchise has been run for the past 20 years, it's clear they have no idea what "greatness" really is.
But that is what the Cowboys should be striving for.With greatness, Super Bowls are simply a by product.
But, here's the secret: Greatness can only be ACHIEVED, if they know how.

I would gladly take a Super Bowl win, knowing immediately after that a tear down and rebuild is coming. Give me a few years of 4-13 as long as I get that Super Bowl.

Jerry is that you

 

[acr731]

Then why are they playing the game? Geezus, what a stupid flippin take.

 

[leeblair]

Said no one ever.

I said it.
Winning one Super Bowl doesn't mean a lot if they can't sustain it past one season.
If they achieve greatness, the Super Bowl wins will come. Opposing teams will fear playing them. Fans will respect them and cheer them on.
But to be a flash in the pan in today's NFL, they do that every season. Always hyped to be more than they are, only to be exposed and humiliated when they faced a real team.
What good is that?

 

[Tabascocat]

Why even play the games then?

 

[MoistMayonnaise]

Some play for money and others for fame, but no one plays for participation trophies.

 

[J817]

What this? Where am I? What is happening?

 

[Ranching]

Said no one ever.

I bet he has a great Participation Trophy Case in his man cave.

AGREED!

This has to be a parody account.

You'd be surprised....most don't even mention SBs....it's all conference championship games....

 

[zrinkill]

OP is the same guy who claims the NFL is scripted like professional wrestling.

Whats more enjoyable in life the chase or the catch? Is the planning of your Key West fishing weekend with your buds more exciting than the actual fish on the line? Are the months of investigation and reading every single bit of information of that new Italian or German sports car more enjoyable that the actual purchase? We need another Poll!

 

[Ranching]

AGREED!

Lol!! All the complaints and whining during 3, 12 win seasons in a row....image 4-13 around here! Lol

I glady embraced the 1 and 15 season because it'll set the stage for the dynasty.
