JJT: Not even Jones optimistic about Cowboys

[dallen]

I highly doubt it.

I think he is listening more when it comes to actually evaluating the talent. The success of the bottom tier FAs and the top of the draft bare this out. But when it comes to actually building a team or running a draft, he either isn't soliciting the input or it isn't there in the first place. He just can't resist taking crazy gambles, and for some reason sees the middle of the draft as the time to roll the dice. That's just my outside view of it, but I think it makes a lot of sense with the way the team has gone lately.

Ding Ding...winner.

That's the biggest issue. By the time Jones has gotten lucky enough to pull talent together, his core is too old to take advantage of it.

Too many missed 2nd and 3rd round prospects.

Then we start all over.

The problem is, the meat of a team is built in the middle rounds. And, he sucks in those rounds.

Exactly

He has no respect for the middle rounds at all, unless of course it's a high round prospect who's dropping because of an injury or some kind of insanity.

"He" doesn't suck in those rounds.

He just has nothing of any importance to add in any of the them because he is a fake pretend GM.

And we are basically are at the whim of whatever guy yells loudest to get his attention because he "listens".

Fisher disagrees. He believes that Jerry has a very little role in personnel decisions.

No, that is just his little sly way of tap dancing around things.

It is very much like other retards who think, oh, it really is Ciskowski who runs the show. No, wait, now it is McClay.

It is just deflection.

Smoke and mirrors.

Look, only a certified fucking idiot thinks Jones studies film and has strong opinions on personnel.

He doesn't and only a certified fucking idiot spends time erecting that strawman to dash through and claim superiority.

Jerry Jones is like most CEOs. He delegates and rubber stamps.

If he likes something, he approves. If he dislikes, he overrules. He listens to too many and how little to no original thought. And most of the time it depends on how healthy his shit was that particular morning. There is little to no thought process involved with the decisions why it was brought to his attention or how the troops on the field feel about it. He does know how he is perceived and desperately wants people to think he is in charge though.

From time to time sticks his nose into things he does not understand and makes firm decisions. Then when they explode in his incompetent face, he cuts someone else's nuts off.

If that is what Fisher means by "little role in personnel decisions", I agree.

Whoever is telling him to draft TEs and small school DBs needs to be shot then.

This is exactly what I was trying to tell that idiot on Twitter last night, but a little hard to do in 140 characters or whatever it is.
