But part of a good GM is bringing a good HC and give him the talent he needs to succeed and that's what Jerry did.

His problem after his feud with Jimmy he thought he was the key to success and didn't believe he needed a good HC because he knew best dumb move that set this franchise back for years.

But at least he has learned from his mistakes; we've seen him stop building this team through FA and doing it with good draft picks and he has kept those good players and not let them leave in FA. So for that he's doing a great Job hey we just saw how he managed to resign Ware to a Great Contract but not a contract that will set back this team or put them in Salary Cap hell.

Yeah he has make a lot of dummy moves and sometimes I don't agree with some decision he makes but, Do I believe he has the best interest of the Dallas Cowboys at hand. Yes I do.

The difference with Snider is that he has made some changes but hasn't learned from any this franchise is no different that what it was when he bought it.

also a good post.

You certainly have a clearer view of JJ, and you give him much more credit than I do. In terms of Snyder, I may be alone, but I think he is slowly learning what it means to be a great owner. In my statement of his progressions, I see a trend towards finding the "secret". But Football is not a sport of quick trial and error, it is a long patient building and crescendo. Yes we have had a decade of failure, but where you say the franchise is no different then when he bought it, I say the owner is a far different owner than the one who bought it. Most on this site, and certainly the media would have you see an owner who is a tyrant. I don't see it, I see a man who entrusted a team to Steve Spurrier and used all his resources to get what Spurrier wanted. A failed effort yes, but tyrannical - no. I see an owner who went out and coaxed THE living legend back, and when JG said he needed the best coaches, he went out and got them, signed checks and everything. Again, a failed product but tyrannical not to me. I see an owner who brought in a man he trusted, and let him pick his head coach, got him the best FA, overpriced but in the prime of their careers, listened to his man at the draft. Misplaced trust yes, a failed product yes, but dictatorial, no.

So yes the franchise product is the same. and we all know that in our media satiated, make it work now, patience is idiotic world, today's product is all that matters.
BUT in the world of pro football where a players value from the 2007 draft may not even be fully known 2 years later, the owner is attempting to find a path to bringing a perpetual winner to Washington, and probably having to deal with many of his deepest shortcomings and flaws in doing so.
