Really? Cause from what I’ve seen, I see a player whose best years are behind him and seems to waste every opportunity given to him.

And I’m going to have to continue to correct you and say “He wouldn’t know, the Cowboys have won two playoff games since 1996″. January 5, 1997 and January 17, 2010.

he has done very little since then to put them back in a position to win consistently.

Life would be easier for Cowboys fans if that were true. But it’s actually much more painful than that. They’ve got good players…it’s just they haven’t had a real coach to lead them since Jimmy Johnson left. Jones is actually pretty darn good as a GM but he insists in meddling with the coaching, player discipline and everything else which throws the train off the tracks.

Yeah man, and there has been a LOT of “things” to “discuss” between you and jerrah lately, I’m sure.

Jason was also told to make sure he gets his TPS reports in.

Take your pick. They all fit.

It’s fair to criticize JJ. That’s not my point. I think there’s an implied criticism of Jason Garrett and other Cowboy employees because they actually do what their boss wants. SHOCKING! NEVER heard of such a thing! And I do think that’s totally unfair. I doubt there is any coach that doesn’t listen to their owner. JJ just takes a higher profile. But I seriously doubt, the Cowboys experience is that atypical to other team’s.

the problem is, as quickly as the cowboys rose to be among the NFLs elite, they just as quickly fell off the map. he has done very little since then to put them back in a position to win consistently. no one is questioning his desire, but things aren’t as easy in the NFL now as they were in the early 90s. if he is going to constantly change coaches and personnel when things arent going his way, and undermine his coaches decisions regardless how things are going, he is going to continue to have to answer questions like “how does it feel to have not won a playoff game since 1996?”

Well, I won’t say “never”. Just never as long as Mr. Facelift is the owner, and probably never as long as anyone with his DNA is the owner.

It reminds me of that scene in Robocop II when a panel of execs are sitting around a table deciding how a cop in crime ridden Detroit should be programmed, and they notice he never helps kittens out of trees.

Or like in Brain Candy when a panel decides a failing pharmaceutical company needs a Mother’s Day drug.

On a good team the Owner signs cheques, the GM picks players, and the coach coaches those players. The coach tells the GM what kind of players he wants, the GM tells the Owner how big a cheque to write, and the owner rolls in his money.

When those lines get blurred Superbowls aren’t won.
