If you are a Dallas Cowboy fan you might want to stop reading here. This article is not flattering to the Cowboys, the head coach Jason Garrett, and the owner Jerry Jones.
The fact of the matter is that the Dallas Cowboys have a backstabbing owner to go along with a head coach and coaching staff that will never bring the team to an NFC championship, let alone a Super Bowl appearance and NFL title. Dallas is just a mess of an organization and has been for a decade or more.
Words of discouragement from an owner can take down a player and this is just what Jerry Jones did in his negative remark about his starting quarterback this past Sunday in Brandon Weeden. This after Weeden took the Cowboys 91 yards in the waning minutes to put Dallas in a tie with New Orleans. The drive should have been a positive for Weeden and the Cowboy offense. But for a poor defensive stand that allowed the Saints to march down the field to try a last second field goal (that failed) followed by a long touchdown pass by Drew Brees in OT that was poorly defended by a lame Dallas defense, Dallas lost.
Now comes the owner saying Weeden is limited on what he can do. Nice Jones. The NFL viewing public are not dummies. What good does a remark like that do to help the cause? Tearing down a player is going to help the team? Maybe you need to look in the mirror and see that you are “limited” in your running of the Cowboys. Do you think Mr. Jones that there are thousands of Cowboy fans that dislike you more than the quarterback you run down? Loyalty in the ownership’s office is lacking. People notice. People understand what kind of person, leader, owner you are Mr. Jones. And it is not flattering. It’s backstabbing.
“I thought he did real good,” owner Jerry Jones said. “He did good all night long. He took his initial look and threw it. He does some real good things, though it’s not quite apples and oranges when the guy on the other side of the deal is Brees and you’re dealing with a guy who is as limited as Weeden. We got in it even running out of time, or short-handed, in 2-minute or what have you, then these quarterbacks like Brees make a difference.”
Jason Garrett calls the plays for Dallas. Put your quarterback in long 3rd down situations because you try to run the ball all night on 1st down when you can’t get a fricken yard or two shows a “limited” coaching staff. Lets get it right. Dallas is a loser. And it will continue to be a loser until they get an owner that has the mental means to run a team and hire a coach that has a clue. Don’t look for Dallas to win a title soon with what they have in the owner’s box and on the sideline. Just don’t.
In sport, disparaging remarks by someone that is suppose to be watching your back is a game changer. I wonder what Weeden is thinking today? What about the offense when they go into next week with a “limited” quarterback? How about a limited coaching staff and owner? Seriously.
If you are a Cowboy fan and think Romo is going to lead you to the playoffs and the promised land, I think he is now an old injury prone player that is again, one play from getting hurt and being put on the shelf. Jones needs to look at the situation and find a new qb in next years draft. As for Weeden, he is what he is and his play is not the reason the Cowboys lost the past two week. Jones hasn’t learned much in his years at Dalllas….how long has it been since the Cowboys have been NFL champs? Well, as the chili maker says “thats too long”
Thank you for defending Weeded. I get so sick of people expecting a quarterback to pull a win out of their rear when you give them the plays they have to run and the decision s these coaches make. I’m sorry but it is not always the quarterbacks fault. The rest of the players have to step up and you have to have a competent staff.
Bwahahaha, You’re talking about one of the most successful owners in the NFL. I’m not going to agree with everything he does but, who in the Hell does agree with everything an owner does? After all we’re all smarter the the next guy! Right?
As for the last two losses, at least they were in the games and that says a lot considering they’ve been hit harder than any other team in the NFL with injuries. If you don’t think they’ll compete for the NFC East Title again you’re an idiot.
What has he done for you lately? As for success, please look at the history of the NFL and you see that he might not be one of the most successful owners. This team won’t ever win again with Jones as the owner. He not good for the Cowboys and now he’s just an old fart if you want my educated opinion with is truly educated.
You are welcome. My son played with Brandon in high school, has been a friend for over ten years, and know how something like is will be taken by him. He can take criticism but this from Jones was not needed in public.
