If the Dallas Cowboys falter this season, the blame will rest squarely on Jerry Jones. As the team’s owner, president, and general manager, Jones is the one in control, and his decisions will determine whether the Cowboys succeed or fail.
Despite high expectations, it’s becoming increasingly clear that the Cowboys are not on the same level as top NFC teams. The lack of urgency to improve the roster, particularly with trades, is baffling. With a defense that no longer strikes fear into opponents and an inconsistent offense led by Dak Prescott, Dallas isn’t playing like a championship contender.
As for the upcoming November 5th NFL trade deadline, #Cowboys Jerry Jones says they will not be active.
He also says they will not be making any changes at head coach or coordinators. He points to a lot of details that need to improve during practice.— Dianna Russini (@DMRussini) October 15, 2024
In a division with the improving Philadelphia Eagles and the New York Giants, the Cowboys are in danger of falling behind. The Washington Commanders, despite their struggles, also pose a challenge. Yet, Jones seems content with the status quo, and the Cowboys risk wasting another season without a meaningful playoff run.
Jones has repeatedly stated that he expects Dallas to win this year, but his actions don’t match those words. His reluctance to make moves during the offseason and at the trade deadline has left the Cowboys vulnerable. The team could have bolstered both their offense and defense, but now they face an uphill battle.
If the Cowboys fall short of their goals this season, it will be because they were held back by the man in charge—Jerry Jones. His unwillingness to adapt could be the difference between a playoff run and another disappointing year for Dallas.
