... but this is an interesting thought.

I have no problem with Free or Scan's contract.

And none of this should be all that shocking. It's been widely referenced that Coaches (especially post-Tuna) have had an extreme say over players picked. But it's not just limited to Coaches. Part of the biggest problem with Dallas has been the sheer amount of voices that have had Jerry's ear. Jerry allows himself to be influenced - for good or bad.

I guess the Scandrick contract isn't that bad, at least not as bad as it looked at the time. Free, bleh. The guy has like a $12M cap number next year and the year after and has basically been garbage since he signed the deal.

I know they basically had to bring him back, and it looked like a solid deal at the time, and hindsight is 20-20. But don't we all criticize play-calling, with the same added benefit of hindsight? Shouldn't a decision with months of deliberation be due more criticism than a decision with seconds of deliberation?

You can give a chimp the answer to a math question that does not mean he is going to have any idea on how to use it, know what math is. Or even care to use it, instead doing what he wants to do. And considering if you [inappropriate/removed] a chimp off that it can easily kill you. Your not going to put up barely anything resembling a fight with it listening to your opinion and just walk on egg shells around them.

At the time of the contract were hating it then? That's the question u should ask. Remember he was highly regarded on this board to be resigned. At the time I think it was a good decision. Now no probably not but u can't have the second guessing now

It's clear Jerry is starting to feel the pressure and it bothers him

No doubt he hears the criticism but its my guess that he has enough folks around him telling him how great he is that it far out weighs the outside critics.

Besides, he has been hearing the critics loud and clear since the day he fired Jimmy Johnson and that was almost 20 years ago.. you think the pressure or criticism is any greater now than it was back then??

Jerry Jones will play the meddling GM role until the day he dies or is too ill to do so for better or worse. My guess is, we got him for another decade or more. My guess is that Stephen will be the same as Jerry.. i might be wrong but I think the chances are good that Stephen will do the same as Jerry as far as GM goes but he may not meddle as much.. fingers crossed.
