The only hope I hold out about Stephen taking over is he may be one who can be shamed into doing the right thing when Daddy passes away. Jerry gets a lot of rope because of who he is and what he's done. Maybe we're at the point where that might run out soon especially with this hire. I don't see anyone giving Stephen any grace period if he takes over and tries to be Jerry 2.0. But then again when you have fuck you money and the fan base seems incapable of throwing in the towel, what can really be done but just stop bothering to watch. I passively watch now. I don't let it run my Sundays like I used to. I turn it on and have it in the background. It doesn't really bother me when they lose because I hope it takes away a little bit of Jerry's soul every time. He would have to have one for that to matter. The more he fails, the farther away he gets from being "a football man" that he so desires to be taken seriously as so he tightens his grip even more. What would help is if his former players would stop treating every action he does as okay. Even Troy takes a kid gloves approach with his criticism of Jerry. The man is not above reproach and it would be great if loudmouths like Irvin would say something. 

I have a strong suspicion that you are seeing Stephen run the show right now.  That's why the constant "pieces of pie" and "sound decisions" and "up against the cap" crap we keep hearing about.  Jerry almost certainly wanted Deion.  Stephen has wrestled control away from Dad and put the 'Boys on auto-cash print pilot.

You're probably correct. I still stand by assertion that once Jerry is no longer with us, people aren't cutting Stephen the break that Jerry's gotten because of his past success.

Ugh, I will always complain about the "cap" conversation. It's Enron accounting, it's never stopped any franchise from doing whatever they want with their roster. If anything, Jerry might get some credit for how it is set up financially considering his influence over the years in league finances.

I could see Steven becoming a laughing stock real fast.

Yep. Despite what fans think of Jerry, I believe the vast majority of players, former and current, like and/or at least respect Jerry. You can see it in his interactions in the old Hard Knocks and the more recent Cowboys season of All or Nothing. He’s charismatic with them and I can imagine they admire his story of becoming wealthy starting from where he did. Almost none of that applies to Stephen.
