So, as Jerry gets older, speculation abounds: how will the Franchise look after he moves on ?
The consensus is that Stephen will take control.
How will that play out you may ask ?
That's the purpose of the thread.
Below are are my random predictions/observations:
As poorly as Jerry has GM'ed this team, he still has a lot of charm and guile.
The P.T. Barnum in him has got him through some rough patches.
The just keeping the team relevant and hanging around the rim has kept the Star full of the casual fans.
Jerry also enjoyed the afterglow of the 3 SB victories he presided over.
He also lucked into 2 good serviceable QBs for next to nothing in cost in Romo and Dak.
These 2 QBs fit perfectly into the keeping the team relevant philosophy.
Stephen is not going to have any of the above benefits.
He has no charm, gets defensive when asked tough questions, and has actually insulted the fans with
his "air quotes" playoff drought response, and more recently his ridiculous response when asked about dragging out the
contract negotiations with star players.
Once Dak ages out, and we get really bad QB play like in the Campo years, this team will no longer be relevant.
The heat is gonna get really high, and frankly I don't think Stephen will be able to handle it.
I see him either hiring a real GM or selling the team.
I am really curious as to what you other folks think is going to happen?
