Let me point something out that I have never bothered to before, but it just seems a really great time to do it now. Jerry Jones has 3 titles.
1. Owner
2. President
3. General Manager, a.k.a. GM
Funny how you guys (who suddenly know that Jerry does not produce the Draft boards and never has) never call for him to step down as President of the Dallas Cowboys. I can't help but wonder why that is, if as you now claim, you actually do realize that as GM he does not put together the plan that assembles this team? Why not call for him to step down as team President? Surely you can look at Green Bay and realize that President Mark Murphy has more stroke than GM Ted Thompson.
That just doesn't make any sense at all. You keep chanting "we need a new GM" but now you all, every single one of you, know that he's not the personnel guy? Then tell me why did you even bother to bring up the veiled shot at me about Ciskowski in a thread where I was not even engaged with you in a discussion? Are my opinions that damned important to you? You don't see that as just a little bit manic? What was your degree in again? You might need to go back and brush up on it if you can't see how silly that is. Don't pee on my leg and try to tell me that it is raining. I'm not that stupid and neither are you.
What have I repeatedly said Jerry's role is on this team as it pertains to his duties as GM? That he is the money man. That has been my constant argument, and you all damned well know it, even if you want to pretend otherwise. So, according to you guys, we need to change the GM to a guy who brings in even more money, but he doesn't need to give up his title as President? Fact alert. No one brings in more money in the NFL than Jerry Jones. Sorry, that is the truth. In that respect he is the NFL's most successful GM. Unless of course you think someone else does make more money than he does.
You guys are fond of constantly wrongly quoting Albert Einstein. "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results."
How about this as an idea then? Stop grabbing your torches and pitchforks, stop howling at the moon, and recognize the fact that there are personnel guys on this team who do the work of building the team to the plan of the Head Coach; EXACTLY like I have been trying to tell you all for years. Then you don't need to constantly try and vilify the word "figurehead" to look smooth for your home boys. There is no need to point out veiled references to my opinions that you don't like to fit your opinions that you now pretend you never even had. Especially when I'm not even involved in a discussion with you.
Better yet, how about you all stop the freaking broken record about "we need a new GM?" Because whether or not you guys are man enough to accept the real world or not, the fact of the matter is that the NFL Owners all have final say on their football teams (meaning their businesses), and Jerry Jones is not going away as the owner of the Dallas Cowboys, because he is running the most lucrative business in the whole damned shooting match.
In other words, try to avoid your "we need a new GM" insanity. Can you do that? I honestly don't believe any of you can. In case you haven't noticed the man is rolling in money. You can hate that about him all you want. I wouldn't give a flying crap about that. My complaint is that in hating him as you guys do, you put him on a pedestal that he doesn't deserve to be on. I constantly tell you guys that when this team turns around I am not going to give him credit for it. If they do turn it around, and you guys don't give him some credit for it, then you are all nothing but hypocrites. That's fine if that is what you want to be. No skin off my nose. What will the spin control be then? I don't really care. I will be one guy who continues to realize that other people are building the football team, and Jerry Jones, and the owner, President, and GM, is making the money.
I called that a figurehead as GM in the role that you guys want to see GM. As I said, bad choice of words on my part, but don't ever sit there and try and cloak the fact that I was exactly right about the duties of Tom Ciskowski and the men before him in the same roles. You can play semantics all you want, and try and change the truth of my stance, but it is never going to work ace. Ever. You'd have better luck trying to shove melted butter up an unchained, rabid wildcat's *** with a hot poker under a July Death Valley sun.
Get this through your damned thick heads once and for all, NO ONE is happy at 8-8. NO ONE is happy that we've not had the playoff success we enjoyed in the 70's and 90's and not even the partial success we saw in the late 60's and early 80's. NO ONE accepts mediocrity. NO ONE doesn't want to see this team rise to the levels we once were.
I have always considered all of you guys to be fantastic fans of the football team. I consider that of anyone who actually knows some of or History and knows strategy on how to build a football team. It is a damned shame that some of you have to wrap that fantastic fan potential up in a whole lot of Internet tough guy cliques where you slap each other on the back at every childish insult thrown out to try and win points with each other just because you can't stand my opinions. High five! Props amigo!
