Jerry Jones has always been vague… Typical him—meme takes, lost comments, and questionable decisions. But lately, some of his comments have fans questioning if he’s still got that it factor. Remember his preseason “all-in” declaration about the Cowboys winning the Super Bowl? Now, we are seeing a no-show from the America’s Team. And then, the recent head-scratcher: “I’m happy with three wins.” Three wins? No, you can’t wish for the minimum.
That’s why Stephen A. Smith didn’t hold back, when he said: “I’m getting very, very worried about Jerry Jones… I find myself thinking about Joe Biden before he backed out of running for reelection.” Ouch. Cowboys Nation couldn’t help but agree, but Jones wasn’t about to let that slide.
When asked about the jab on 105.3 The Fan, Jones came out swinging, defending his grind: “I wish he would follow me around every day. He’d see that I’m the busiest I’ve ever been.” The man even dropped receipts, casually mentioning a 14-hour round trip to New York for a league meeting like it’s just another Tuesday. Jones is basically saying, “Watch me work.” But let’s be honest, Cowboys fans aren’t exactly giving out gold stars for effort when the team isn’t delivering Lombardis.

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones when asked about this on @1053thefan: “I’m having huge support and huge input and help from everyone he mentioned in that call about stepping in. But I would say if he had asked me that question relative to the issue or the criticism that Joe Biden had… https://t.co/NLCct8Qa25

Here’s the thing—Jerry thrives on being the face, the voice, and let’s face it, the drama behind the Cowboys. Love him or not, he’s always been unapologetically Jerry. But with fans growing restless and the league shifting, you can’t help but wonder if the game is evolving faster than he’s willing to admit.
Is he running out of gas, or is this just Jerry being Jerry? One thing’s for sure: The fans have lost faith in him… They don’t think JJ is the guy to believe in if you want parades and rings to come to Dallas.
The Cowboys Nation has had enough of Jerry Jones
The team’s 3-7 record isn’t just salt in the wound—it’s the whole shaker. One frustrated fan even started a petition titled “Make Jerry Jones Retire,” aiming for just 25 signatures. Talk about setting achievable goals. This fan clearly believes the franchise needs a reset, saying, “Hey, I just signed the petition… You can read more and sign here.” Jones’ controversial decisions, like firing iconic coaches Tom Landry and Jimmy Johnson, are still a sore spot decades later. But hey, at least Jerry’s racking up signatures like its fantasy football season.

Another fan didn’t hold back, saying, “Jerry Jones has proven he is not a GM in this league! He needs to hire a good one and retire to his yacht and watch them win!” And let’s be honest, that yacht probably has more game plans than the Cowboys’ offense right now. The critique here hits a familiar nerve—Jones’ inability to separate his passion from practical decision-making. His infamous control as both owner and GM has often left fans wondering if his ego is the team’s biggest obstacle.
Then there’s the fan who went straight for the jugular: “Jerry Jones gotta retire for that franchise to rise again.” Short, sharp, and straight to the point. And it’s not just about the losing record at the moment. Look at the Dak Prescott deal—four years, $240 million, with a no-trade clause. That’s elite money for a QB still trying to prove he’s the guy. No wonder one fan added, “Let’s be honest, when he gave out the contract to Dak, that was the true sign that he’s completely lost it 😂.”
Critics say this deal ties up so much cap space that signing top-tier players like Lamb and Parsons in the future might become a pipe dream. But the hardest-hitting comment? “I think Jerry Jones is legit losing his mind. I don’t know what he’s been doing this past year. We need to sign a petition to get this geezer to step down.” It’s brutal, but it captures the growing frustration among fans who feel their team’s potential is being stifled.

Yes, Jones has transformed the Cowboys into a $10 billion empire and secured groundbreaking TV deals for the NFL. But for a fanbase desperate for a return to glory, the trophies matter more than the TV contracts. Jerry might be running the show, but for the Cowboys faithful, the clock is ticking. Tick-tock, Jerry. Tick-tock.
