Watkins/Archer: 10 offseason questions

[boozeman]

Jones has made some changes this season, from giving more power to Will McClay and quite possibly the scouts for the 2014 draft. That shows you Jones has learned from previous mistakes and is willing to do whatever is necessary to fix this franchise.

How so?

If you believe what Broaddus says, he elevated McClay because he is better at playing politics and that Ciskowski was too confrontational.

How is that learning from anything?

For all we know he's rewarding a yes man who has been his employee since back when he was a head coach for Jerry's fake football arena team.

He really should avoid using "whatever is necessary". If that were the case, his ass would be stepping down.

Nobody would. It's ridiculous to even think about it.

Unfortunately for us, Jerry is the only one dumb enough to do it

Calvin Watkins: It's time. But it won’t happen. Jerry Jones has the energy and knowledge to make things happen for his franchise. He should be given more credit for the three Super Bowls he earned back in the 1990s.

What is the weather like on this asshole's home planet?

This deserves something as equally idiotic.

That’s why Jones relies on Stephen Jones, Will McClay and Garrett. They are his eyes and ears on the team on a day to day basis. Jerry is not at these workouts leading into a draft. So maybe it’s on us to explain what he actually does a little bit better.

It's been proven that one man with both HC/GM power doesn't work in the NFL, especially over the long haul. The Cowboys are proof that the opposite, GM-by-committee, also doesn't work.

The GM has to provide a vision for the team that doesn't change much over time. Jerry can't provide a football blueprint, and by themselves neither can Stephen, McClay, Garrett, or Lacewell, Switzer, Ciscowski or any of the other flies buzzing in Jerry's ear.

The only real hope is somehow McClay, a football guy, can develop a strong vision for the team with Garrett, and sell it to both Stephen and Jerry while simultaneously not taking credit for any of it.
