While we're all coming to terms with "cap hell"...


Recommended Posts

Jerry ran a team extremely well once.

When he was smart enough to hire Jimmy Johnson to run it.

Ego is a bad thing!

 

Back when he 1) let someone else run it and 2) didn't have to worry about a salary cap.

 

But then one night Jones gets drunk and rants about how the Cowboys are so talented he could win a Super Bowl with Barry Switzer as his head coach (which granted, he did).  Fast forward to the salary cap era and a revolving door of head coaches since.  Throw in the hiring of Bill Parcells and his lack of success leading Jones to believe he didn't need a "football person" to run his team since (in his mind) the Cowboys weren't any better with Parcells than they'd been without him, and here we are.

 

 

Egomania and alcohol...great combo :unsure:

It's funny, the "great" Eddie Debartelo and the 49er organization was as good as the Cowboys.....before the Salary cap.

Then Debartelo couldn't win and ended up in jail on a bribery charge, lost the team to boot.

Really hate seeing that douche nozzle starting to reappear at times at NFL/49er events.

Jerry Jones and Eddie Debartelo, once thought the NFL's finest.

Cowboys and 49ers, makes perfect sense.

Don't have that high an opinion of DeBartolo either, and Carmen Policy didn't look all that great running the Browns.

 

I will give them credit for one thing though.  They were smarter than to run off their best head coach.

    • No one way to do it, it does appear that with the bigger draft picks of the last 5 years…..majority haven’t steered clear of young QBs on the roster being their hopeful guy. Especially past their rookie seasons but even some the biggest ones have had it early.   As far as Andy Dalton, the two young guys he has “mentored”…..have had very rough NFL starts.  Which really ask the why the heck is Dalton here.   He doesn’t really check any box.  No young potential.  Can’t step in and win.  And his mentor track record with Fields and now Bryce is bad 
    • I had thought the Panthers might let him play out his contract this year and hope he stays healthy. If not draft a left tackle and move Ekwonu to right tackle. 
    • Frankly, if most teams in the NFL lose their starting QB for a significant amount of time, they're screwed. The fantasy is that one has a future Tony Romo or a Nick Foles that can carry a stacked team. The reality is that you might get roughly 3~5 games out of your backup before it all falls apart. Remember all of Peyton Manning's backups? Utterly terrible. Speaking of backup QB's, Raiders may need one. https://www.nfl.com/news/raiders-qb-aidan-o-connell-suffered-fractured-wrist-in-preseason-finale-expected-to-be-out-6-8-weeks
