I'll take this to the 30,000 foot view. Perhaps the biggest issue for him and the front office revolves around "value". They don't seem to have any sense of what value is with players. Whether they are players they are drafting, trying to extend, signing via free agency or thinking about letting them go. Jerry and the front office misses more times than not recently when it comes to the value of players.DannyDuberstein said:
Their FA strategy has been abysmal, whether it's extensions of their own guys or shopping the market. There is no vision of what they want as an identity on the field. That starts with hiring a HC but then saddling him with coordinators that are your guys vs his. Sets up for a very weird staff and lockerroom. And they suck at valuing picks for trades, which while I think they need to trade Parsons, concerns me a great deal that they are going to blow it
Right now they could stop the bleeding for the moment by not making more stupid trades. At least the deadline has forced that

I mean, what are they supposed to do about it right now? How is anything happening now reflective of what Jones does or does not recognize?
It's a nonsensical question
Jerry cant control everything but there are things he can do as the owner. Lets start with putting up a ****ing curtain so your WR isnt completely blinded by the sun
Jerry is a stubborn egomaniac that truly believes that he is always right
Ok, but that has nothing to do with the question.
This is a lost season and there is nothing that can be done now by anyone to change that.

It's not gonna change, either. Jerry won't even put up a curtain because he doesn't want to hear I told you so by fans or the media. He won't hire a GM because he doesn't want to hear that he couldn't win a Super Bowl (or make an NFC Championship) on his own. He extends guys he drafted because he wants to hear how great these guys are for being Cowboys.
And Stephen will almost assuredly be worse. He will be his dad, but with even more of a temper, and more attitude.
And the players dont like Stephen like they do JerruhJWinTX said:

How much would the Texans give for our kicker?PatAg said:
always nice to see other teams lose
This is a good summary. Jerry lets his ego get in the way of sound decision making.JWinTX said:

Guys. I took my daughters for a walk today during the game. Beautiful weather. Much better use of time.
Is he really now? Stadium still full? Ratings still high?AgsWin2011 said:double aught said:

This. I haven't watched a full cowboy game this season and probably won't (first season ever). It was too nice outside. Went for a motorcycle ride with a buddy around 3. When I got home, played catch outside with my boys and then grilled for dinner. Much better time spent. I came inside, caught up with key plays and that was enough for me to see what another **** show it was.
Jerry sucks and he is losing a lot of support here in DFW. Rightfully so.
I think we're going to be tanking simply because the team is THAT BAD outside of a handful of players, not by choice. With that being said, I think people need to temper some expectations when it comes to tanking and getting a high draft pick. There are some truly AWFUL teams in the NFL right now. The Giants, Panthers, Jags, Browns, Titans and Raiders are all disgusting. Follow that up with New Orleans, Indy, Miami and New England and the Jets. That's 11 teams with 3 or less wins. Truly some of the worst NFL football I've seen in a long long time.zgolfz85 said:
I hope we tank, so no point to watch.
I don't doubt you are correct, but he could just open the roof, which he never does for some reason.Grapesoda2525 said:
Supposedly the reason for lack of a curtain comes from the old Texas stadium where some old players, coach, or announcer said that god literally looks down on the cowboys thru the big hole in the middle of Texas stadium.
The old stadium was a massive dump, but we did win super bowls there and Jerry must want to preserve some way for "god to look down and see his team".
It's silly because the glare from the sun usually always hurts us more than the other team. I really hope we lose every game at this point and let mcclay go to work in the draft room.

I'm still convinced that someone forgot to account for the setting sun in the design process. Because if they did that on purpose they should never work in the field again
Can't remember who on the ticket asked one of the architects during the design process about the sun and the guy apparently laughed at themAgBQ-00 said:

He also extends guys he drafted because no high-level free agents want to come hereJWinTX said:

That's cool and all, but maybe don't build the stadium with the big window facing west? God could always look from another directionGrapesoda2525 said:

Junior told the story this morning. He said they took a tour about a year before it opened. He mentioned the orientation and sun issue to the main architect, and the guy had a look of surprise on his face.TxAG#2011 said:Can't remember who on the ticket asked one of the architects during the design process about the sun and the guy apparently laughed at themAgBQ-00 said:
