    With Jerry being owner and GM, there's synergy there, but not in a good way. Jerry runs things more personally than professionally, which leads to him keeping guys too long, giving them big contracts in the process. Then,he doesn't hold them accountable. As for having synergy with HC, I don't...

    That's what I've been fearing for some time.

    Well, for one, there has always been some angst between the two family's going back to the days where Buddy ran the Eagles. Rob Ryan was the DC the past two seasons, but he was pretty much made the scapegoat after last season, and was unfairly sent packing. Plus, in doing so, they switched from...

    Jerry bought the Cowboys in large part, so he could have a big huge toy to play with, and he won't let someone else play with his toy. He'll always be in charge. As for a cleaning out with the coaching staff, it could happen, but then he'll try to piece the new one together, as opposed to...

    IDK, at least Snyder was smart enough to hire a real GM. Of course, that GM went and sold the farm for a QB, who now has an undetermined future.

    Really can't see Rex going there, given what happened with his brother.

    Yes, Jerry has always 1) loved to make a splash, and 2) very reactionary

    Actually, most of us are glad when another team takes focus away from the Cowboys, because we get tired of constantly being discussed, debated, heralded, criticized, etc. on the sports shows. We liked it when Tebowmania took over, because it took attention away from Romo. Jerry hates that. He...

    The whole level of talent thing has been a big debate for a while now, in terms of how much they've actually had. Dallas has had some big name talent for sure, but they've also had a lot of players that had a lot more name than game. People want to throw out Pro Bowls, but those are based a...

    No they haven't. But we don't pay attention to those most deserving. We give the attention the ones who are the most sensational, like the Kardashians. It's not about who's the best. It's about who the most people want to see, and whether it's to see them win, or see them lose, Americans want to...

    I could see Jerry using the injuries the Cowboys have suffered this year as an excuse, along with the whole "first year with a new system" rationalization. Jerry hired Kiffin with the idea that we were going to have a DL made up of Ware, Hatcher, Ratliff and Spencer, backed up by Tyrone...

    Be interesting to see if/when Cable gets another shot. Seemed like he did okay in that black hole of Oakland. I would imagine he'll draw some interest after this year. He's done well with that OL, despite having to do a good bit of mixing and matching this year.

    Thanks for the insight. I was thinking more of Norton for DC, assuming Kiffin doesn't return and Marinelli ends up wherever Lovie Smith ends up. I think Jones would try to make the splash hire, because that's his nature, but I also know how hard it is for him to give up that much control. He...

    That's a good point that you make about Bevell possibly to Jets to reunite with Idzik(?). And your points about JJ are definitely valid, but he's made it clear that he'll continue to operate the way he has. Contrary to what most people think, he gives all the coaches and scouts a forum to make...

    Oh, he trusts his GM, because he is the GM. But yeah, he's very much a micromanager who has to have his hands in everything.
