Everyone is waiting for the glory days to return. When will the Cowboys finally dominate again? Don't expect that anytime soon. This dysfunction starts with the pizza rapping GM/Owner and Its only going to get worse before it gets better. I know the running joke is "when is Jerry Jones the Owner going to fire Jerry Jones the GM". Well that ain't happening so lets move on. Jerry though has creatively hamstrung his team with his personnel decisions, signing aging players to contracts that are so impossible to dispose of not even a mafia hit man would have trouble. I look at these contacts and I scream. I wonder why we are locked up with Miles Austin for a bunch of money. Doug Free, who hasn't been absolutely horrible this season, is still not worth a $6.5 million hit to the cap. Jay Ratliff should of never happened. Jerry signs the players and then a year later they have regressed and have to ride out player not worth his contract. There is also no way out because if you want to release a player it would hurt the cap even more. Its as if Jerry won't be able to find another player like the one he has, so what does he do? He locks him up so no one else can have him. Jerry also interacts too much with his players and develops relationships and has a hard time letting go.
I remember watching players who were there from the 90's Cowboys who carried on to the late and should of just been let go. Now we have instead of Jimmy guys, we have Bill's guys over staying their welcome. Tony Romo, who I've been his biggest supporter, should be having his last year of his contract this year. Well Jerry Jones doesn't have contingency after Tony, so he locks him up to make more room in the cap to sign Sean Lee. I'm not a business specialist but I'm a huge fan of the GM mode on Madden, you have turn your roster over. Cowboys are traditionally the worst in roster turnover. Instead of letting a player leave 1 year early, Cowboys keep a player 1 year late.
Do I want to see the Cowboys rise back to prominence? HELL YEAH! We all want to see the Cowboys in the playoffs. The reason I don't believe the Cowboys will do anything. THE DEFENSE. I was watching the NFL Turning Point on NBC Sports Network (check it out) and during that recap, that is a fluid offense that should win ball games in the league. Defense is the one breaking records this year for giving up the most yards. Its pretty laughable, yeah the injuries suck. Maybe stop putting injured guys on your team.
Cowboys are my least favorite team to discuss because it all leads back to one man. Talk about Garrett, it goes back to Jerry. Talk about the linebackers, It goes back to Jerry. Jerry Jones will keep this team hand cuffed financially. These 8-8 seasons. Enjoy them. I think the 5-11 seasons are coming. I'll leave you with this, I believe Jerry Jones the Owner......Just kidding.
