Oh Christ. Where to start with this.I grew up in the same time period. That is the standard I want too. But you also have to take in account the NFL has changed. Parity was the goal, and parity has been reached. It's almost like NASCAR, anyone can win any week. Jones has not done a good job adapting, but he has done better over the last 3 years. He is a great owner. He is an innovator on the business end of football and he took the Cowboys out of the dumps and to the Super Bowl in a short period of time. Then the ego...Dave Campo was the low point of this organization. Hopefully, we will keep climbing upwards. Witten deserves a ring. But say anything you want to about Jerry, the man wants to win and will do anything to do so...except fire himself.
Okay first of all, Jimmie Johnson brought us From the depths Of the league To three Super Bowls. Period.
Second, I couldn't care less about the business side of things.That has nothing to do with making him a great owner When it comes to wins and losses.As a fan, why would you care about anything else but winning? That is beyond nonsensical.
Lastly, He will not, I repeat NOT, do anything it takes to win. That is a myth that should have been dispelled 15 years ago.And all you need as proof, Is the fact that he won't get out of the way and hire the best football person he can find to run the team. Which means that, while he might want to win, he will absolutely not do whatever it takes.
Because what it takes, Is someone who knows what they are doing running the football operations. Instead, what he really wants,Is to run the football operations himself.He has said himself, repeatedly, That he Has no interest in owning a football team unless he is running it. Well, That's his priority. Right there. That's what he cares about the most. Not winning.
You know what else he cares more about than winning? Being comfortable. That's why he couldn't wait for an All-timer, Hall of Famer, and Bill Parcells to leave. Because, while Parcells knew what he was doing, he made Jerryy uncomfortable. And we can't have that can we? So ever since then, the only coaches we have gotten, are coaches that Jerry is comfortable with. Not the best candidates.
And hell, the Only reason he hired Parcells in the first place was so that he could sell a new stadium.
As far as Parity is concerned, how is that working out for the Patriots?How's that working out for the Steelers? How is that working out for the Colts?There have been plenty of teams That have Been consistent contenders In the last 20 years. The Ravens are another one. Hell, even the freaking Eagles have been to like five championship games and the Super Bowl in that time span. Not us though. Definitely not us.
But let's pretend aside for a second.Even if you say that The way the league is structured, with free agency In the draft And so forth, That our previous level of dominance is not attainable,As I stated in my previous post, there are three teams in the NFC that have not made the championship game in the last 20 years.Detroit. Washington. And us. That is the company we are keeping. Is that okay with you? Because it's not okay with me. And that's not about even being a consistent contender. That's aboutJust a basic level of competency.Almost all of the conference has figured it out at least once. But not us. Definitely not us.
Jesus, in 2016 I can't believe there is still a Jerry apologist roaming around.
