Hello,
Thank goodness football is finally back. In the NFL I'm expecting another long and miserable season for my still sorta team the Cowboys. Dallas still has Jerry Jones as GM, Jason Garrett as head coach and Tony Romo as quarterback. That threesome, Dumb, Dumber and Even Dumber, inspires little confidence in most Cowboys fans.
For those that say this will be "the year", please stop it. I've been thinking it's going to be "the year" for the Cowboys for the last 5 seasons and I'm still waiting. Sorry to disappoint you fellow Cowboys fans, but this isn't going to be "the year" either. And it won't be "the year" until Jerry Jones stops ruining his own team. The mid 90s when the Cowboys won 3 Super Bowls was amazing. But it's also bad for another reason, Jimmy Johnson's success inspired Jones to think he could do the same thing. Time and time again Jones has proven that he can't.
Jones is a brilliant businessman and knows how to make money, too bad he's the complete opposite when it comes to football. If Jones ran a kool aid stand, you wouldn't want to be a customer. He would make a lot of money from it, but the product would be nasty. Like I wouldn't be a customer of his kool aid stand I won't be a customer of his team. Until Jones is no longer with the franchise I won't be buying any more Cowboys items. I urge my fellow Cowboys fans to stop paying for anything that has Jones grubby little fingers all over.
Jones says he wants to win, but I don't believe him. If he really wanted to win he would make real changes, with the first change him firing himself as GM. Get a real GM that knows what they are doing and then stay the hell out of their way. Don't hire puppets as head coaches and stop micromanaging and emasculating those coaches. Also realize you aren't the reason for the Cowboys success and be grateful for those people who can do the things that you can't. If Jones really wants to win those are three changes he needs to make now.
From Jones saying the DL is a strength in the offseason and his insistence on keeping Jay Ratliff, those grubby fingers continue to ruin his team. I can't figure out why Jones doesn't want his own team to be good. Most of his decisions look ridiculous now. Ratliff will miss at least 6 games as he still (going on his second season) recovers from his injury. For some reason I doubt he'll play this year, if he does it won't be equal to his pay.
One of our "strengths", the defensive line is going to struggle this season. Ratliff will miss at least those six games, Tyrone Crawford is out for the season and Anthony Spencer doesn't look to be 100%. But even more incredible is with how bad the offensive line looked last year, it looks like it will be bad again this season. Jones played offensive line in college for some good teams. Where's the disconnect? A couple of "only Jerry" comments here. Only Jerry would draft a player he could get in the third round in the first round. Only Jerry would use the word "amazing" to describe Doug Free's abilities. Does Jones even realize how ridiculous he sounds?
Jason Garrett is still the head coach after being emasculated by Jones during the offseason. He seems to have rubbed off on the players, with many of them using his sayings. I don't think Garrett will ever be the answer. Even if he could be great Jerry would ruin it by needing to put his grubby fingers all over this team, he just can't let well enough alone.
Jones is so desperate to be thought of as a football genius and he can't stop interfering.
Also Jones keeps on opening his trap, why oh why? Dear reporters please stop asking questions of Jones. Just think of the dumbest answer that can be said and that will be Jerry's answer. It cracks me up that Jones came out the other day and said a doctor told him that he had the mind of a 40 year old. Too bad it's the mind of a 40 year old donkey. Again 17 years with only one playoff win shows again how bad of a GM Jones is. Sadly he surrounds himself with a bunch of yes men, including his son Stephen. He of the "secret sauce" comment. It must be a secret sauce and clearly the Cowboys have no idea what it is. It's probable Dallas is going to be terrible for another 30 years, so much for the Cowboys winning another Super Bowl in my lifetime.
As for Tony Romo, what else needs to be said than one playoff win? I know it's a team game and I know the Cowboys failures aren't all his fault, but he certainly hasn't stepped up in enough big time situations like he should. Jones actually extended him this past offseason, even though he had another year on his contract. This will end up being a very bad contract like the one Jay Ratliff signed, well I don't think Romo's contract will be quite that bad.
And as average as Romo is, imagine how bad the Cowboys would be if they ever have to rely on Kyle Orton for an extended period of time? Only Jerry would sign a high priced veteran instead of looking for a quarterback of the future. Jones ego is tied up with Romo. If Romo ever wins anything, which he won't, then Jones will claim that he groomed Romo to the success he is.
I've been disgusted by the Cowboys for so many years that slowly but surely I've been warming up to the 49ers. I consider myself a fan of both teams now, but the Cowboys are sort of my frenenemy. While I expect the Cowboys to have a few highlights I expect the 49ers to be amazing this season. In all the areas the Cowboys are weak in the 49ers are strong in. I couldn't even tell you the name of the 49ers GM, but I do see all the brilliant moves he continues to make. It's so nice not to have to their GM's desperate need to be on TV every day. Jim Harbaugh is a hell of a coach, with him and offensive coordinator Greg Roman they have a frighteningly good offense. Their defense might even be better.
As for quarterback, Colin Kaepernick has already won more playoff games than Tony Romo has. That's not really that impressive honestly, it's easy to beat 1. In fact, Kaepernick has been to as many Super Bowls as Romo has playoff wins. I really expect fantastic things from the 49ers this season. I know it's a lot of expectations to put on them, but anything less than winning the Super Bowl this season would be a disappointment.
Meanwhile the Cowboys will miss the playoffs for the 4th straight season. After which Jerry will start whining, make a bunch of offseason changes and the cycle of stupidity will start once again.
