Mr. Jerry Jones,
You've turned this once glorious team into a shell of itself. Instead of America's Team, the Cowboys are now America's Sham. Please stop trying to shift the blame for your poor decisions to anyone else. I love when reporters ask you about the status of Jason Garrett. How about the status of the delusional GM? I wish a reporter would man up and ask you when you are going to get a real GM and that you get the hell out of the way? Until you realize this team is bad because of your poor decisions, it won't go anywhere at all. It's too bad you've surrounded yourself with yes men and family that won't tell you that you need to step away from football decisions. Only an idiot or the willfully ignorant can't see after 17 years of mediocrity that you have no clue what you are doing.
Sunday's loss to Green Bay was Karma's way of telling you that it's time to sell. The loss yesterday exposed all your weaknesses as a GM. The loss was a result of your idiotic philosophy and lack of knowledge about football. I'm sure you are wondering how it is your fault. Well let me give you a few examples.
Who's your head coach? Jason Garrett, before he became Cowboys coach, how much head coaching experience did he have? That's right none, he hadn't been a head coach at any level ever! His biggest calling card was the Cowboys offensive coordinator. His first season he was great in that role, but the NFL figured him out quickly. Once that happened he became a mediocre offensive coordinator. After your previous puppet Wade Phillips players gave up on him, Garrett was promoted to head coach. How did you reward Garrett for being a mediocre offensive coordinator, by promoting him. How has that worked out for you? As a Cowboys fan, it hasn't worked out at all for us. (Garrett replaced the terrible Phillips, a coach that did have playoff experience. However he hadn't won a playoff game before joining the Cowboys. He coached the Cowboys to one playoff win, which is your only playoff win in the last 17 years! Just a year or so later the team fell apart, with Phillips as your coach, what else would you expect?)
In the last day or so Garrett was trying to defend the atrocious play calling in Sunday's game against the Packers. Instead of running the ball and eating up clock, the Cowboys instead preferred to pass the ball. What happened: a bunch of incompletions (which stops the clock), two drive killing interceptions and ultimately the first loss when the Cowboys lead by about 20+ points in 43 instances of that. With that as the result how could anyone defend those play calls? Fortunately for Jason Garrett's job status, which is unfortunate for real Cowboys fans, Jones is even more delusional than him.
But again your football ego Jerry is tied to these "great" people you find. When Garrett succeeds, as you still expect, then you believe that people will think you are a football expert. Jerry I hate to tell you this, but still no one will think you are a football expert. As of right now Garrett is 28-26 as head coach, that tells us all we need to know about his coaching ability. His record could have 4 or 5 more victories if he hadn't badly mismanaged several games. Jerry, that tells us how bad you are picking head coaches. Other teams continue to laugh at Dallas because of your ridiculous decisions. Even a broken clock is right twice a days, as of now you're barely doing better than a broken clock in your torturous tenure as GM.
Fire Garrett or not, does it matter? No not at all because even if you do fire him, you'll just hire another puppet. As ESPN's Mark Schlereth says it doesn't matter who the coach is until you empower him. The two best coaches for Dallas were the ones who were in control of their teams, Jimmy Johnson and Bill Parcells. Those two coaches are also those that listened to you the least, which means for you that they had to go. Only a delusional idiot would force out a coach after he won back to back Super Bowls. Read that last sentence again! Johnson and Parcells were leaders, something that Garrett obviously isn't. The rest of your head coaching hires have been horrid.
Other than you Jerry I don't think anyone can defend your hiring of Monte Kiffin. His cover 2 has been a disaster this year. Combine that with poor drafts and your love of injury prone players, that has left the Dallas defense with many holes.
You traded two picks to be able to move up in the draft and get Morris Claiborne, he's missed 5 of the last 7 games. We find out on Tuesday he's going to miss this week's game. Even when he's on the field he hasn't been playing well. Isn't he the same player who had the worst ever score at the NFL combine in the intelligence testing? When asked to explain why, he said he didn't care. Yeah, that's someone I would draft. And you Jerry gave up two picks to trade up and get him. I understand Jerry that you are still convinced that this was the right move.
What other bad decisions have you made with the defense? The whole Josh Brent debacle, he kills his friend, another Cowboy, in a drunk driving accident and you keep him on the team? The only reason he's no longer on the team is because he retired. A few months later Jay Ratliff gets in a drunk driving accident and you still keep on the team? Even though he's obviously dissatisfied with playing with the Cowboys you don't release him in the offseason. Instead he eventually forces his way out through exaggerating how injured he is. That results in more dead money for the Cowboys. A couple of weeks later he plays for Bears against your Cowboys, what does that tell you Jerry? Frankly I'm surprised more players haven't forced their way out.
Of course Jerry you love your injury prone players, they take up many spots on your roster. One of those players is Sean Lee, he's been injury prone since playing at Penn State. I'm guessing you drafted him in hopes he'd turn into a stud football player and you thought it would make you look like a genius. When Lee is playing it helps hide a bit how much of a bad GM you've been. Unfortunately when he misses games, which he does each season, it makes you look like a complete idiot. I think Lee missed the last 11 games last season. He's already missed 3 or 4 games this season and honestly at this point he should be shut down for the season. He's a great player when healthy, too bad he's healthy only about half of the time.
You paid $50.1 million to Brandon Carr, has he been worth that much money? No! What the hell has happened to DeMarcus Ware, he's a shell of his former self. Even the very durable Ware has missed 3 games this season. Although when he's played, he's been largely ineffective. Anthony Spencer played all of one game this season. Justin Durrant is on IR and will miss the rest of the games this season. Bruce Carter has missed games. And that's just on the defense. (Don't even start me on the tissue soft Miles Austin- when are they going to start calling a hamstring injury a Miles Austin?) It's too bad the Cowboys gave up multiple picks for busts such as Roy Williams and Morris Claiborne. Then Jerry thinking he's a genius traded two picks for current center Travis Fredericks. He has been a good player this season, however the Cowboys could have probably had him in the second round without giving up anything. That could have been a pick that should have been used on a defensive player. How has that pick of Gavin Escobar worked out? He's a poor blocker and has I believe he has all of 7 receptions this season. You don't think you could have used that pick to bolster your pathetic defense?
On Wednesday, December 18th 7 players missed practice due to injury. Terrance Williams is the 12th player that's battling with a hamstring issue. He joins the following players:
Of those players Lee, Durrant, Harris and Carter might not play. Claiborne has already declared himself out this week and Dunbar is out for the season. And the tissue soft Austin will be his usual ineffective self. Hey Jonesy, you're doing a helluva a job!
I don't understand why more players aren't like Jay Ratliff and forcing their way out of Dallas. It's time for players like Jason Witten to go elsewhere so they can win something. With you in charge Jerry, they aren't ever going to win anything! Does Tony Romo wish he hadn't signed that long term contract this last off season? He would have been a free agent at the end of the year, he could have chosen to go a well run organization. At what point will players realize that they can't overcome your many bad decisions Jerry?
Jerry if I were you, I'd start worrying about my legacy. When you die sure you'll get credit for winning 3 Super Bowls- even though those wins have much more to do with Johnson and those great players. But let me ask you this question, do you think Cowboy fans will miss you? Do you think fans will long for the good ol' days when you were owner? In case you don't know the answer to either question, it is no and hell no. In fact many fans are hoping you die or become incapacitated in some way so that you'll stop destroying the Cowboys.
Jerry you've done enough damage to what once was the NFL's best franchise. It's time for you to sell and let Cowboy fans have someone who knows what they are doing in charge. Most of us who remember the glory days would like to see the Cowboys win at least one more Super Bowl, with you in charge that will never happen. This will be the 4th straight year the Cowboys won't even qualify for the playoffs! And in 2013 they are playing in the terrible NFC East. The first place team in the NFC East, the Eagles, just allowed 48 points to the Vikings who weren't playing with Adrian Peterson. Dallas has one less game than that team.
This blog was going to be much longer, but I'm just tired of this same old shit. Until one of your yes men grow a spine and speaks up, every Cowboys fan knows that you'll remain GM. No matter how bad of a team you put on the field, you never seen to understand how bad of a job you've done. I know that you like make others your scapegoat- hey how's it going Rob Ryan? But this team is in shambles because of your idiotic decisions. Please step away Jerry before you turn this team into the Browns.
From a lifelong Cowboys fan but someone that hates what you've done to America's Team.
