Are the Cowboys the worst managed team in the NFL? [View all]

I would say so. They've had hardly any playoff success since the '90s when the had the triplets... Troy Aikman, Emmitt Smith and Michael Irvin...and of course Jimmie Johnson as coach.

The enduring constant since then has been Jerry Jones, the owner who doubles as the general manager. And that's the problem. He hasn't had a good coach since Johnson, who he forced out (Switzer for a minute). He stays with bad coaches too long and makes bad player moves

The latest being that he won't put Dak Prescott on the IR list after he broke his hand in Sunday's game. Supposedly because he thinks Prescott can come back before four games, which is time one has to stay out if on the IR.

That's crazy, a poor decision. Russell Wilson had a similar injury and came back after five weeks and found out he rushed back and wasn't fully healed.

Oh well, another bad GM move, another failed season for the Cowboys. It just keeps going because they have a poor GM.
