The 2022 season marks the 27th straight that the Dallas Cowboys have not only failed to make it to the Super Bowl, but haven’t even sniffed the NFC Championship game. That has left owner, team president, and de facto general manager Jerry Jones with a list of excuses for that comparative long-term failure, but the one he came up with this week after his Cowboys were demolished by the San Francisco 49ers in the divisional round of the playoffs is especially… well, half-weird.
“Anybody who thinks I won’t take a chance, has misread the tea leaves. But I do think longer term,” Jones recently said, via Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk. “And I’m real hesitant to bet it all for a year. There’s a lot of things that can happen for that year. In essence, we’re seeing a couple of teams that have had some real success putting it all out there and paying for it later, in Philadelphia and Los Angeles.
