Jones vs Jones in Dallas


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

Fort Worth Star-Telegram

There's been an interesting little back and forth going on down in Dallas about Dez Bryant.

It goes something like this...

Stephen Jones: "Dez Bryant is a distraction."

Jerry Jones: "No, he's not."

Stephen Jones: "Other players suffer because of his antics."

Jerry Jones: "No, they don't."

Stephen Jones: "We should think about moving on from him."

Jerry Jones: "We're keeping him."

Unlike his dad, Stephen Jones has demonstrated that he actually has some football smarts. The Improvement of the Cowboys over the last few years coincides with Stephen getting more involved.

Generally, he and his dad have (publicly at least) been in lockstep. This is the first time I can recall the two of them disagreeing out in the open.

Will be interesting to see what happens in Jerry World when the time comes to actually make a decision on Bryant.

I sooooo wanted them to draft Manziel. Reports were that Jerry wanted to do it but Stephen talked him out of it.

That would have been such a circus.

If that team picked Mansfield over Martin... Martin is easily one of the best players in the league already...

Behind the scenes reports basically said Jerry had to be talked out of it.  He loved the idea of drafting Manziel.

Stephen won that argument.  I'm less certain he's going to win this one.

    • I agree but he honestly has gotten better about this. Used to be he’d do it like 4-5 times a game, now it’s like 2-3. Overall I’m incredibly happy with his game, his D has been solid and when he is playing his role he’s a solid scorer and one of the few guys who can consistently finish at the rim and provide that threat. Plus he’s electric and LaMelo loves him. Going into the season I was sure he would just be a stop gap here but now I’m reconsidering and could see him continue to be a “core” piece here. Obviously not on the level of the other starters but he is an important cog for this team. We felt his missed presence during his and Moose’s suspensions.
    • Philly will be a bigger challenge than the Knicks were IMO. George and Embiid are back, not sure about Maxey but Embiid alone is a nightmare matchup for us and Moose. We’ve never really done well against him. Celtics added Tatum but honestly not sure they’re all that much better with him right now than they were when we whooped them a few weeks ago. We should be able to at the very least split these 2, hopefully take both.
