But to your point about the Cowboys, I think to me it is abundantly clear, and I believe if my pulse on the Cowboys fan base is correct, I believe it is now becoming more and more clear to Dallas Cowboys fans.
That as long as Jerry Jones is running this franchise and doing the drafting and making free agency decisions, this team will not win a Super Bowl, because Jerry Jones cares way too much about being in the headlines, about being the number one story than he does about actually winning.
Because if Jerry Jones actually cared about winning, I don't believe Brian Schottenheimer would be the head coach of this organization.
I believe Brian Schottenheimer is the head coach of this organization because Jerry Jones can't handle anybody else getting more publicity and more love and more credit for the Cowboys than he is.
What do you do when you realize the owner of your favorite team just isn't a very good owner, you know, and there's nothing you can do.
We could talk all day long about Jayden Daniels and what it meant for the resurgence of the Washington Commanders, but you have to acknowledge that that became a heck of a lot easier to accomplish when they cleaned house of everybody in the building.
And simply being bad at your job isn't a reason that you're going to be.
Forced to sell a team.
So if you're a Panthers fan, guess what?
You're gonna have Tepper forever until, you know, he decides he wants to go off and mess something else up.
If you're a Cowboys fan, you're, you're sort of stuck with whatever this version of Jerry Jones is.
I'm a, I'm a diehard Raiders fan.
Everybody knows that.
I'm stuck with whatever Mark Davis decides year in and year out.
Like there is really nothing you can do.
For all of the conversation about drafting and quarterbacks and GMs and head coaches, at the end of the day, culture is created from the top down.
If the person that leads your Organization is just not good at identifying talent all the way down and then not good at staying out of the way, you suddenly end up being a fan of a team that stinks every single year.
Jerry Jones at one point was incredible at his job and I'm not sure that there's been anybody more important to the modern NFL when it comes to modernization and branding.
But if you want that, That's great, but if you want Jerry Jones right now to run your favorite football team, I think you're just looking at an abject disaster year in and year out.
