MY OPINION is that you can't just go out and appease the fan base with big names all the time. It doesn't guarantee sucess and can hurt the organization if it doesn't work out in the end because of the big money involved. Redskins and Cowboys make all the fancy moves and the Giants win the Super Bowl. Go figure.
Ok, fair enough. You are clearly more knowledgeable than I am when it comes to Jerry and his Cowboys so let me tell you how I see it.
Cowboys starters:
QB: Tony Romo - UDFA
RB: Marion Barber III- Drafted
WR1: Terrell Owens - Elite FA
WR2: Patrick Crayton - Drafted
TE: Jason Witten - Drafted
LT: Flozell Adams - Drafted
LG: Kyle Koiser - Average FA at best
C: Andre Gurode - Drafted
RG: Leonard Davis - Labeled a bust by everyone.
RT: Mark Columbo - Former first rounder labeled a bust.
Defense:
FS: Ken Hamlin - Average FA when he came to the Cowboys organization.
SS: Roy Williams - Drafted
SLB: Greg Ellis - Drafted
MLB1: Bradie James - Drafted
MLB2: Kevin Burnett - Drafted
WLB: Demarcus Ware - Drafted
RE: Chris Canty - Drafted
NG: Jay Ratliff - Drafted
LE: Marcus Spears - Drafted
LCB: Terrence Newman - Drafted
RCB: Anthony Henry - Average FA
Special Teams:
K: Nick Folk - Drafted
P: Matt McBriar - UDFA
So Hydro, 17 of the 27 mentioned were drafted by the Cowboys, 1 is an elite FA, the rest were average and some were even considered busts by all the "experts." I fail to see where all these "fancy moves" were made, looks like a guy who just knows how to draft. Sounds like you have Snyder (an idiot) confused with Jerry. In fact, we have spent more than he has on FA's over the past two seasons than Dallas has. WNY inferiority complex kicking in again?
