"Big Changes Coming" (1 Viewer)

What do we all think are the "big changes coming" that he spoke of?

What does this mean for Murray, Dez, and Romo!?

I think Romo is a goner!!!

 
Don't think Romo, Dez or Murray will be affected much, for all the bad press Romo gets he's a good QB. Dez is fine as long as he doesn't implode, and Murray's a decent RB with injury concerns.

 
I can't see them letting Rob go. At least, I hope they don't, as a Cowboys fan. The defense was gutted and running on fumes physically. But when healthy, they were one of the best in the league.

A good fantasy QB maybe. Good QBs win big games, and thrive under pressure.

Have you looked at his big game stats? He has more 4th QTR comeback wins than anyone. His 4th QTR QBR is great. His "win and in/out" games have been solid the last 5 years, with the exception of this last one, and the Minny game. In both he had pressure in his face; sacked 6 times against Minny.

But he also puts himself in a lot of these situations, with bonehead plays, and having to play from behind....I don't think he's as bad as others point him out to be, but he's also not as good a some of his fantasy numbers indicate...
 
Immediately after those comments he praised Tony Romo and made it clear Romo is his guy. So "changes" have to refer to the coaches it would seem.

I think he should fire his GM ;)

 
Isn't this what a lot of Cowboys fans were fearful of happening? Ya know, the team doing just well enough and coming close enough to make Jones think that Romo and Garrett are still the answer.

People keep saying this and yet I often hear informed NFL people say talent is not the issue in Dallas and has not been for years, which I tend to agree with as well. Every team in the NFL has needs and so does Dallas but Dallas has ton's of talented players and their needs are primarily OL improvement and overall depth which in the grand scheme of the NFL is not bad in terms of needs.Personally I think Jerry's been on a roll as a GM lately. His last 3 drafts have been pretty strong and the Carr addition was spot on. It could be that Jerry's presence undermines the authority of the head coach, especially a non-highly pedigreed HC like Garret but it's not like Dallas was winning playoff games left and right when Parcells was involved.
 
Sorry everyone but this is all smoke and mirrors. Other than a coordinator not much will change. Who is he getting rid of Romo? no he won't go into full rebuild mode, Dez? no he just had his best season? Witten? no he just had another all pro type season Murray? no he was hurt and his contract is cheap Carr? no he didn't play badly and they signed him to a big deal so I am sure cutting him this early would kill the cap Claiborne? no he is a rookie and looked good Ware? no he played hurt a lot of the year and was still pretty good Austin? Maybe but is that a major change to let go of your 4th best option on offense?

Jerry Jones is starting to turn into the late Al Davis, at one point he was good but as father time catches up with people and they think they were as good as they were in their prime and he just isn't.

 
The only real stunning thing that I can see happening and I seriously doubt it will, would be to trade some marquee vet like Ware. But again, I seriously doubt that happens.

 
The JerryVision TV is coming down and being replaced by a giant rotating Jerry Jones head that shoots laser beams out of its eyes.

Wait, that would actually be pretty cool.

I'm hoping Gordon is right. It would be interesting to see Cowher or Gruden there. Also, Murray owners vehemently disagree, but I wouldn't be surprised if they bring in someone to compete with Murray for 1st/2nd downs. Aside from a couple long runs, he's been pretty ineffective when healthy. Speaking of which, even if he was a good 1st/2nd down guy, he just can't stay on the field. They need insurance. And if Jerry spends money on a guy, he's going to want to see his new toy in use at least somewhat.

Until Jerry relinquishes his role as GM no one the likes of Gruden or Cowher will ever consider going to Dallas.

No doubt. It would be difficult to find anyone who would argue against that. Do you think this is impossible? I would not be surprised if his desire to land a big name coach will outweigh his desire to be a GM.

Your assessment of Murray puzzles me. The offensive line is HORRIBLE. Also, I'm willing to give him one more year before I label him injury prone. The guy just finished his 2nd season. To suggest it's time for a change at RB is crazy. Murray might be at the very bottom of the list of "troubles" on this team.

Dallas has been a .500 team for the past 15 or so seasons, so the talent, coaches, draft, etc. all fall at Jones' feet.

He doesn't either. If he knew what to fix, he'd have done it by now.This is one of those announcements meant to pacify fans with the ole "I feel your pain!" rope-a-dope.There will be changes. But if he fixes the problem, it will be the case of a blind squirrel finding a nut. He's in one of those positions that people in authority find themselves in. There isn't an obvious solution, yet people want a fix. So you just start throwing crap against the wall to look like you're trying. In those situations, wrong action is preferable to inaction because at least you look like you're trying. Even if you make it worse, which is a distinct possibility, at least you get the PR points by looking like you cared.Kinda scary how much of our public policy happens for that reason. But I digress...

Bringing in a backup RB isn't a major change. Murray is the starter. All the skill positions on offense are locked in, though Romo might be on thinner ice just because he's the QB and that's a position where knee jerk and desperation can force moves. The OL is crap. The thing is that serious fans are savvy enough to understand that. But I don't think Jones understands what his fans know. So he'll probably screw things up with some grand gesture(s) intended to appease them.
 
the biggest change as others have said is that Jerry Jones needs to let go of some of his power, but he is a billionaire who is addicted to power and control.. so that is not going to happen... they don't need to make too many personnel moves as they have one of the most talented teams in football..

what they need and continue to need is a coach with a big personality, and a great track record, who can reel all that star talent in and get the most of out of the Cowboys players... oh yea and one who takes some of the damn pressure off of Tony Romo... as good as Romo can be, he is human and the Cowboys have continually put too much pressure on him to perform... they need to build their offense around the running game, and than let Romo do his thing... not pass first... just doesn't seem to work for Romo

That what makes their losses that much more enjoyable. He blames others when he is the #1 failure.
 
Keep in mind that Jerry's continuing to market his team as the owner. He needs to give hope to Cowboys fans who are bringing in those revenues that fund that stadium, and the last three years haven't been helpful. This is big fluffy talk until we actually see what he does. In other words, it's just words for now.
