There's like a 50% chance if these two were in front of me, I'd put that iron to their chest.
I hate them with every fiber of my being. They have destroyed this franchise and brought shame on to all of us.
If you can't see how the void at the GM position has led to all of this, I don't know what to tell. Go read a book on NFL front offices and educate yourself on the job duties of a GM. They are supposed to provide a vision for the franchise - 1 yr, 5 yr, 10 yrs down the line. When a coach says "we don't need a safety", they are supposed to have the foresight to overrule that decision. When a coach attempts to hire a has-been coordinator, they are supposed to have the network of coaches to in the league to advise them on an overrule. When it's time to pay a QB and several other stars, they are supposed to council with the cap experts to strategically space out the contracts. I can go on and on...the pros and cons of switching to a 3-4, studying the waiver wire/practice squads for pro personnel, empowering the head coach, playing devil's advocate/leaving emotions at the door when resigning players etc...etc....the problem isn't that Jerry is doing too much, it's that we have a huge leadership vacuum at the most important position of a front office. We are a rudderless ship. It's sickening and these two have broken me. We are in for a long rebuild and there's a 75% they will fail at that too. The city of Dallas deserves better than this.
