Jerry Not Very … Bright … Or Open to Change!

Okay NFL gridiron gang, maybe it’s me, but I’m really trying hard to figure out what the hell is wrong with Dallas Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones!

If Jones hasn’t learned by now that an NFL owner that acts as his own general manager is akin to a fool representing himself in a court of law, then I guess he’s more of a lunatic than I ever thought.

Jones, whose Cowboys have won just one playoff game since 1996 while making just six postseason appearances since that time, is still apparently living in the past when the team was in its heyday under former head coach Jimmy Johnson, who was the driving force behind drafting many of the players that led the ‘Boys to prominence, even though Jones had the official GM title.

Of course, Jones wanted to take all of the credit which caused problems that forced the beloved head coach to move on to greener pastures. Since then, the Cowboys have failed miserably – and Jones has been the man at the helm of the team’s football operations.

Jones even tried to defend his skills as a GM, even though he came across sounding mostly like a flaming idiot!

"The facts are that I've spent 22 years doing this exactly the same way," Jones said on KRLD-FM a couple of weeks ago. "I've made a lot of changes from year to year as time goes along, but frankly, I know that when we do not have the kind of success, when we don't have expectations lived up to, the one that should get the most heat is the one that ultimately makes the decisions, period, with the Dallas Cowboys. And that's me."

Jones even went on to say that adding a GM would be more detrimental than helpful to his teams’ chances for future success.

"The thing you've got to realize is that when you have an owner that is full-time as the owner, then you create a situation where you have as much turnover at GM as you do at the coaching level," Jones said. "And I think that just deters from the mix."

Huh?

Maybe Jerry Jones doesn’t see things the way most NFL owners, GM’s and even fans do – which is why the Cowboys are pretty much perennial losers!

"More often than not, when you're in the kind of shape we are statistically, you're doing better in the playoffs," Jones said.

Yeah right Jerry, we say here at Eye On Sports!
