With all the ups and downs in this organization, what brings you back every season?

Loyalty

Boredom.

Jerry's too busy sniffing the tulips and doing cameos to notice his football team is lacking. The man's delusional.

The same thing that brings Knicks fans back. Same thing that brings Browns fans back. Same thing that brings Marlins fans, Sixer fans.............. they are fans. Not very complicated.

Born in 1963. I started understanding and liking football in 1967. In 1970my mom bought my first pair of Roger Staubach pajamas that I wore every nigh till they were ragged .I meet Bob Lily , Leroy Jordan, Walt Garison, Drew Person and the man himself , Roger Staubach. What else can I say.....lifer.

Ups: We have a good core of young players on this team that have the potential to really do something special. We have a new coach and he's assembled coaches who aren't his buddies, they're speaking of being aggressive and physical! What Cowboys fan wouldn't like to see us be more aggressive and physical??

Downs: Jerry is still here and he's not going anywhere. We continue to hold up signings, and end up paying more in the end. We lack discipline, but maybe these new coaches instill something we've been needing for years! Fear of the unknown with this new defense and offense. Will our franchise QB return without injuries???

So I ask you, and trust there's so much more, but I HAVE to let you get your thoughts in. What brings you back every season as a Cowboys fan??? Maybe it's the traditions, you've been a fan since you were 10 years old etc etc!! Please give your thoughts on what brings you back ole Cowboys Faithfuls!!!

I love the team, organization no matter what , I am a life long fan, through thick and thin, good and bad

cant walk away now, but boy, if i had a time machine, there's about 25 other teams Id tell myself to pick first.

It's not an either or . . . false dilemma.

I don't get caught up in paradigms and/or parroting other people's thoughts.

First of all I appreciate your posts.
I just don't understand the thought process of just being relevant.
I would rather go all in and try to win the SB, rather just being good constantly without a realistic shot at the chip.

I’ve loved the Cowboys and the NFL since childhood.

It’s that simple.

This.

I will add there haven’t been many “ups” in the past 29 years, if you consider playoff wins success.

I remain a Cowboys fan because it was my first favorite team starting as a six year old when my dad took me to my first Cowboys game at the Cotton Bowl. Been hooked ever since.

That was 25 years before Jerry Jones bought the team or any Cowboys fan had ever even heard of Jerry Jones. The Cowboys are and always have been bigger than the Jones family.

Yes they have and Jerry is lucky he bought the most indestructible sports brand in the world because God knows he's try to run in the ground for 30 years.

I'm just a fan. Probably always will be.

Yes sir same here this is my 52nd season, I was that 5 year old kid in 1973 that saw Tom Landry wearing his hat on the side lines.Dallas is my team always was always will be,The great Roger Stauback was playing back then .Go Cowboys it is time to win number 6.

 

[Paperbag]

Since birth. My fandom is bigger than an idiotic owner, his even dumber son, and overpaid divas...even 3 decades of failure. Hopefully they will all be history soon enough and I can see one more Super Bowl before I kick.

Great question
Not sure that I have a great answer
Could be my hatred for the rest of the NFC East
But I’ve been a fan since 1974
Always have stuck by them through out the ups and downs
But now it seems to be just a business with the illusion of trying to win

 

[deerhunter11]

100 percent.

Again, they need a Jerry Jones zone.

Like I said earlier I love the Dallas Cowboys always will, but you must admit , that this Great organization is just not run correctly. Decisions on contracts are always late to get done which costs this team more money, look at Parsons right now he should have already been signed. I just want this team to be run more efficiently, that is what true fans want to see.I will say that things seem to be getting better and if this continues I will congratulate Ol Jerry and Son for a job well done. GO COWBOYS.
