Cowboys owner Jerry Jones says he will always be GM

THE NEW AL DAVIS, DAM SHAME PLEASE JERRY STEP OUT YOUR OWN WAY. OK AT LEAST HIRE A COACH WITH SOME BALLS

Thanks for keeping your job, Jerry.

Sincerely,

The Rest of the NFL

Boys are done. No hope at all...

My 7 year old twins, and my wife of almost 9 years (seems much longer) are in disbelief when I tell them that the Cowboys used to be good.  When they lost to the Falcons this past Sunday, one of my girls said "they always lose" when she heard of the game.  How sad is that?  Jerry - you caused this.

I grew up in the Bay Area and have to watch the 9ers every week. I'm a Cowboy fan...on the edge of saying goodbye to incompetence.  It's amazing how the 9ers turned around a team by changing a coach...a talented coach. A past NFL QB like Garrett. That's where the similarity ends. Harbaugh demands accountability. Garrett is a friend to the players. Like raising a kid, that approach is a loser for may reasons.

In the mid 90's, 9er fans used to hate the cowboys...envy etc. Now the Cowboys brand is a like the government, its tainted not respected. No one gives a dam about the Cowboys in Nor Cal anymore. Jerry and Al Davis...no wonder they got along. Ego city. Jerry obviously doesn't care about the team fan base. He's developed a job for himself...a purpose in life. Without his soap box he would be an average Joe....He's never going to let go...just like Al Davis..Dallas ."Commitment to Excellence" is now Excrement. It's over. JJ's kids drink from the same fire hose..this is the beginning not the end. Ground Hog Day...Jerry is the ground hog. Wake up Jerry.

Call me Jerry...Eddy D and I will buy the team and create a position for you. Anything but GM or coach have at it.

Stop going to games.    

.      

whoops, typo, meant GO the EFF away.

Sorry.

We're not structured that way?  Then, EFFING change the structure.  And to the EFF away.

This guy, for all his $$$$$$, is truly an idiot. "experience holds a dear school, but fools learn at no other. ".......... "We've had success doing it this way"???? Since when.....this team has not been relevant since Jimmy Johnson left.....It's amazing to me what an egomaniac can convince himself of. Get a REAL GM who actually knows something about evaluation, both talent AND character, then your team MIGHT return to prominence........ the alternative, just keep on being another NFL doormat  every Sunday Jerry!

Jerry's ego bought the team in the first place. Jerry lives in a different world therefore he never feels the embarrassment of his ineptitude and poor judgment. This is all about Jerry, not the franchise. The franchise will continue to suffer.

All you Cowboys haters out there are obviously going to enjoy the next decade of Cowboys' mediocrity/ineptitude.  

How old is Jerry, anyway?  Not his "plastic surgery appearing" age, but his actual age. 

Phew!  For a minute there, I thought they might be good again soon.  Problem averted.

Well, I think the quote was incomplete.  Jerry Jones actually said: "I will always be the Cowboys' GM, but clearly, I will never be a capable GM".  This was followed with: "Since I know nothing about football, and my main focus is increasing revenue.  I will be paying part time attention to a position that requires full time attention".

Now, doesn't that make more sense?  Yes, it does.   

Jerry Jones is a great owner and great GM. Don't change a thing, Jerry, everything's fine with the Cowboys!

If Jerry had more brains than ego, he'd take a cue from the Cowboys original owner Clint Murchinson.  Hire a strong GM, hire a great Coach, then disappear and let them run things.  Worked for 20 straight winning seasons!

I'm impressed with Jones as GM. Since he has been running things the Cowboys have found more ways to lose games that they should have won than any other team in the NFL. And what is the one common factor in all those defeats? Jerry Jones. You go Jerry!

Spare me folks, please. The Cowboys have won a couple of games, have been in the playoffs and have been competitive. Sorry that Jimmy Johnson set the bar so high, but be glad for those years at least. Remember the 80's Cowboys fans? The 'Boys lose because everyone has to lose at one time or another. I'm a Browns fan and a general manager hasn't done us a bit of good since the early 90's. At least you guys can say any given year you have a chance....which is more than most can say.

As a 40+ years Giants Fan I find a Jerry's position reassuring.  But I think he should rename them the Dallas Jones-boys.  These haven't been the Cowboys I used to dread for years now.

All Jerry Jones cares about is $$$. He doesn't give one iota about his team's success on the field. As long as he has his misguided Cowboy fans all over the world buying into his brand and coming to the games, he doesn't care how they finish. He just runs the biggest soap opera in sports; bigger than even WWE. Fine by me as I'll always laugh at their incompetence.

Anyway, I expect Jason Garrett to be fired and then Jerry will bring Atlanta DC Mike NoWin in to be his new runner boy.

It's funny that Jerry says they've had success doing it this way.  Yes the Cowboys have, but does Jerry remember that was before he become GM. The Boys have a losing record since he took full control. Jerry controls the Head Coach and we all know it. Hey, if he paid me $5 million a year I would do what ever he asked me to do.  Sad for us Cowboys fans.  Well there's always the Texans.

Therein lies the problem.

I'm with you draygee.  How out-of-touch is Jerry when he thinks one game under .500 since 1997 is "success" ?  WIthout Jimmy Johnson's personnel decisions early on in his ownership years they would never would have won a Superbowl !  Jerry is clueless when it comes to putting a team together.  As long as he's the GM, I'll done with them too !

I am seriously considering dropping my allegiance to the Cowboys that I have had since 1970.  For Jerry Jones, it is a matter of ego and not what is best for the team.  His ownership has consisted of mediocre teams, with the only exception being the glorious Jimmy Johnson years.  They will never be Super Bowl contenders as long as he refuses to hire a "football man" to handle the player personnel decisions.  I am done with them!!
