Jerry has had a stranglehold on the Forbes #1 list since 2010, and he was just the 1st owner to clip the $10Billion mark.

We've known for awhile that it wasn't about building a winner, since he insisted on being the GM.

Now it's that guy who is keeping the team from getting better...paying stars too much too late in the game, looking the other way while RBs are selected each round of the draft, & choosing not to participate in early Free Agency for impact players who can help your team.

Here's something I was thinking about earlier today.

Jerry Jones' ego is so out of control that he's probably costing himself billions of dollars. As you mentioned, the Cowboys are worth roughly $10 billion. Imagine if he actually turned the reins of the franchise over to competent people and let them do their jobs without his interference. The Cowboys very well may have two or three extra Super Bowls by now, which in turn would have added more value to the franchise.

I've seen this effect with other sports franchises. For instance both the Chiefs and the Golden State Warriors got a nice bump in the the value of their franchises after they rattled off multiple championships.

Imagine being so egotistical that you'd rather chase credit for a ring rather than have an extra $2 - $4 billion in your bank account.

It's very frustrating. I can only hope that people have less patience with Stephen if he's as willful as his father.

I was saying this all game long how our fuckin corners were playing pussy when it came to tackling . But Al Harris doesn’t want to single people out .. BULLSHIT!!!! Right now you should make an example of Diggs …. He’s a leader in that secondary and is playing like a pussy..again no accountability…

He can slam Diggs all he wants but privately. Calling him out to your own media person would be idiotic.
 
This reminds me I better go get a picture of that Jones Family Ford Edition sign for booze before they take it down in shame...

Me keeping an eye on all things Master William from now until the dream ends.

I'm there with you, man. I'd love to get him just to see the temporary increase in toughness and physicality, and I think our front seven would become bigger and stronger and play harder.

I don't think we'd win anything big, and the change would fade as Jerry gradually emerged from the shadows, but it would be fun for a year or two.

That's all we can hope for and all we've been able to hope for since Jimmy left-- temporary relief.

You know it won't be the norm, so you have to enjoy the few years of Parcells, the few years of McCarthy, etc.

And it'll be great to (hopefully) enjoy a few years of Belichick.

The best thing that could happen is he comes in, makes an immediate impact that shows up on the field, Jerry falls into an alcohol induced coma, then Master William imposes his will on Stephen and helps change how things are done in Dallas forever.

A man can dream.

:lol

I'm not here to DFDC you, man. Let's go.

(And even if he's too expensive or something, I'm going to hope for Vrabel who might at least make the team tougher for a while until Jerry steps in.)

Most depressing, most demoralizing, the current environment now is better than when Stephen takes over 100%.

If there was a 15% chance Jerruh’s personnel moves succeeded, you can’t squeeze any chance out of Stephen’s zero acquisition philosophy.

Seriously though....

I think the most realistic scenario that exists where things change in Dallas for the better is someone strong-willed like a Belichick comes in and has immediate success, and at some point during that time, Jerry disappears from this earth.

That might allow that coach to start having more influence on Stephen who isn't as head strong as his deddy.

Outside of that, I can't see another scenario which results in anything ever changing.
 
I wouldn’t be surprised if they simply promote Zimmer no matter what. Comfortable.
