Aren't there investors who Jerry has to make whole and who have an interest of winning aside from just making money? It's hard to believe that he not at least heard from his inside people the idea of hiring a GM to build a team. He either has and doesn't care or only surrounds himself with people that only listen to him.

It seems like the Eagles are rounding into form. Hopefully the youth continues to impress and the team buys into the OC/DC schemes (ie Jalen can learn to play under center).

RE: Washington.... it kind of sucks when a hated rival lands a young QB who looks to be immensely skilled while also being really, really likable.

@lakefront….Yeah, Ol Jerry has been in denial for quite some time. And as you stated, he won’t ever admit that he’s wrong. It’s hard being a Cowboys fan, and even harder sitting back watching the Puppet Master and his decision making!

I’m sure several inside people have made that suggestion JMcLellan , but Jerry is going to do what Jerry wants to do. Remember, he bought the Cowboys for $150 million back in 1989, and now the organization is worth around $10 billion. Jerry is definitely a business man and he knew what he was getting into back in 89. He turned the Cowboys into the wealthiest professional sports organization according to Forbes. This in turn probably makes him think he has all the answers when it comes to personnel moves on the football field.
