CZ POLL Your Opinion Of Jerry Jones As Owner And GM

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

Great Owner with 2 weak spots.
1) Anything on the field
2) Anything in front of a camera

LLLOOOLLL, my man Cpanther and Aero, I like these 2 guys even though they are our 2 biggest opponents.

 

[cowboyblue22]

if he was a good owner he would hire a competent gm and a head coach and let the head coach hire his own staff

 

[Risen Star]

It's basically an IQ test.

 

[WillieBeamen]

Anyone choosing/saying anything other than bad owner/bad gm is exposing themselves


You cant be a good owner and continue employ one of the worst GM in sports

 

[WillieBeamen]

Jerry the owner has created a toxic environment that is hardly conducive to winning.

On top of that, even if he were to higher a competent front office guy, he would still meddle somehow. Its who he is.

Someone explain to me how you can possibly think he is a good owner?????

 

[Aikmaniac]

In fact, he is the worst owner in the league for not replacing an incompetent GM for 2 and a half decades.

As the kids say these days, "Dan Snyder has entered the chat."

 

[reddyuta]

apart from Quinn everything he has done this year has been abject failure including the draft.

 

[ShortRound]

How can you be a good owner and hire Jerry as GM, then hire Jason Garrett as HC? How does that make Jerry a good owner?

Oy.... Good owner, business side only, sorry... wasn't thinking straight. I want to change my vote now.

It's basically an IQ test.

It is a more a critical thinking exercise and less an IQ test.

 

[MojaveJT]

Good owner / bad GM

 

[DallasEast]

Something to consider (or not). The Pro Football Hall of Fame's Board of Selectors enshrined Jones for 'qualifications' as an owner--not as a general manager. Heck. Even his brief HOF summary is essentially praise for him as an owner only.

Good point. I think I'll have a Baileys Irish Cream before I play golf today. Can't handle the reality of this!

 

[Brax]

It’s a tough question. I think Jerry is good at a lot of important owner qualities. He runs the business well. He takes care of his players. He isn’t cheap and is willing to pay to keep talent, etc.

That being said. One of the most important qualities of an owner IMO is hiring a quality GM and shutting the hell up and staying out of the football decisions.

He sucks at that.

So can he be a good owner when he has failed miserably at such an important owner responsibility?

You are correct. Some might say the most important responsibility. To me not a tough question Bad/Bad.

 

[big dog cowboy]

A good owner would have recognized that he's a bad GM and hired someone.

Exactly why I voted Bad Owner/Bad GM.

I can't wait to hear the replies to a good owner, better yet a good GM.

 

[TheTruthIsOutThere]

Bad GM, bad owner for not firing the GM.

 

[Brax]

Sums it up nicely, thank you......................... might add how do you keep the GM after 23 failed seasons !!!!!!!!!

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Jerry Jones was a great owner from 1989-1993. He has sucked since.

 

[Sarek]

Good owner in terms of making money/Bad GM no explanation necessary.

 

[dckid]

That's pretty much it. How can you justify saying he is good owner when he is kept an unsuccessful gm in place with no improvements on the field for 20+ years?

I dare someone to counter that. Good owners fire gms like jerry.

This team has not been relevant for over two decades so just stop pretending and fooling yourselves. Yes I will give you Jerry has a formula for being ~.500 we are no longer in the Dave Campo era where 5 wins seemed like an accomplishment.
Jerry is happy if we go 7-9 to 9-7 that means we will be tantalizing enough to be talked about every week. Reporters will ask him about firing coaches, his face will be plastered on Fox NFL Sunday and two Sunday night games. Their week 17 game will get flexed because they will be fighting for a playoff spot.
Winning does not mean anything to Jerry. Judge a person by their actions not by what they say.
What has Jerry done to make you believe he cares about winning as his top priority? The Cowboys could do zero marketing, zero promotion and still make more money than almost any team in the league. The Star & reputation was built because
of
Playing in 8 of the first 30 Super Bowls.
21 consecuitive .500 and above seasons 1965-1985
Staubach, Dorsett, Doomsday, Landry ... to JJ, Triplets, memorable games..
Ice bowl, Steeler SB's, 5 SB appearances in the 70's, the Catch, Herschel, Jerry buying the team, Jimmy Johnson turning the league on its ear, coming back to prominence in the 90's.

What have we done since all of the above?
Losing to Arizona in 1998
Losing to Seattle, Giants, Vikings, Packers twice?

The Cowboys have not been to a championship game since the 1995 season. Let that sink in for a minute. We are an organization of mediocrity
