Jerry creates the culture and as long as he is alive that is never going to change. Once that happens though it doesn’t mean things will get any better. Stephen is the anti-Jerry in the sense that he’s cheap and he’s not a good negotiator.
If we are talking about just this year's free agency, I guarantee it is 100% Stephen's doing. Which as far as BJJ is concerned, should make him happy.
So Jerry is the owner and GM of the Cowboys unless Stephen steps in or has something to say?
I would say it’s 60/40 in favor of Jerry. Don’t underestimate Stephen’s ineptitude or how much impact he has on all things football. Jerry is obviously the biggest voice in the room but Stephen is right there behind him.
At this point the best thing to do is blow the whole thing up and start over. But we all know in here Jerry won't and that's problem #1. Until the Cowboys get the right GM (one with an actually football mind), one of the top football coaches in the game today ( you know, one that knows football) and one of the top QB's in the game, its really all for nothing. Under Jerry's leadership and culture has completely stained this franchise. Both Jerry and Dak and his contract have handcuffed us going into next season and put us in a no win situation. I can't believe after being a fan for 54 years now it has all come down to this. I have very low expectations moving forward and totally disagree with the current direction the Cowboys are going. I wish I could find something nice today but can't.
