Jerry Jones isn't a considered a . Yes, he played at the University of Arkansas, but he made his money in the oil busine s and bought the in 1989. The team won three Super Bowls -- in 1992, 1993 and 1995 -- though, depending on who's telling the story, Jimmy Johnson was responsible for building those rosters.Jones and Johnson have differing Mike Scott Jersey accounts , but the reality is this: Since 1997, Dallas has made the postseason seven times and managed a 2-7 record -- including a stretch from 1998-2008 where they were winle s.Jones isn't afraid to take risks others wouldn't if it means getting the Cowboys back to the , but it's also hard to take the man seriously when he admits that he on . Or that he said of last season, "You won't see a more gifted pa ser." Or that he's now kicking himself for to land Paxton George Springer Jersey Lynch in last week's draft.But it's also why the Cowboys owner and general manager isn't solely responsible for player-personnel decisions. In fact, much of that falls to Jones' son, Stephen, who has done a masterful job of keeping his old man in check while also forcing other executives around the league to take notice. One general manager even went so far as to tell 's Mike Freeman that "The Cowboys are starting to scare me."And it has everything to do with Stephen's voice (of reason) being the loudest in the room."You could always count on Jerry Jones f--king things up," the GM said. "That isn't happening any longer. That's a Super Bowl-caliber team now." OK, "Super Bowl-caliber" might be a bit much -- the team is coming off a 4-12 record -- but remember, 12 months ago, the Cowboys had finished 12-4, won the NFC East, and beat the in a playoff game. The difference, of course: Dallas was without and for much of 2015. But both will be healthy Josh Reddick Jersey for training camp -- and if it stays that way, there's every reason to think the Cowboys will again be in the mix J.R. Richard Jersey to win their division.The GM agrees."Health is obviously the key for them," he said. "If Romo can stay healthy, that's an 11-win team."Meanwhile, Stephen, whose fingerprints are all over rebuilding the Cowboys' offensive line into the league's best -- and who also kept Jerry from drafting Manziel two years ago -- is earning respect from his peers. "He was seen by a lot of people in football as a trust fund baby masquerading as a football guy," the GM said. "Now he's just an excellent football guy."Jerry Jones agreed. Here's what he told the ."Bottom line, without getting into it a lot, Stephen has absolute, tremendous influence on these decisions that are ultimately made in this organization and everything we do," the elder Jones said. "It would be madne s for two people to work as hard as Stephen and coach Jason Garrett do, not to ... be influenced by what they are telling you."In the NFL, teams with legitimate franchise quarterbacks are always in the playoff conversation. Romo provides that for the Cowboys. But those teams that are perennial playoff contenders also have roster depth -- it's as close to insurance against injuries as you're going to get. That's where Stephen comes Alex Bregman Jersey in, and why the rest of the league has apparently taken notice.
