Are they really still "Americas Team"?
Obviously in the days of Tom Landry, Dandy Don Meredith, Craig Morton, Roger Staubach, Tony Dorsett...etc... they were a class act. They were what America should be. Even if they did lose Super Bowls to Baltimore and Pittsburg.
We still remember Meredith and Starr. Will anyone remember Rodgers and Romo in 50 years? Their stats are probably better, but I don't think we will.

From Wiki:
Criticism
In an online poll from October 8, 2003, Jones was named the least favorite sports personality by Sports Illustrated, in three states (Virginia, Delaware and Texas).[5] He is often vilified by fans who remain bitter at Jones' unceremonious firing of fan-favorite Landry. Some of the fan criticism is due to Jones' high visibility and involvement as the "face of the team" which is in stark contrast to original owner Clint Murchison Jr.
Some Dallas Cowboy fans have expressed their displeasure with Jones and the lack of success in the franchise. This had led to formation of grassroots organizations aimed at displacing Jones from his position.[6]
Jones is the subject of the 2008 book Playing to Win by David Magee. In the book, Jones says he handled the firing of Tom Landry poorly and takes some blame for the disintegration of his relationship with Landry's successor, Jimmy Johnson.
After their last Super Bowl win in 1995, the Cowboys have endured mediocrity since then, winning just two playoff games since 1996. In recent seasons, the Cowboys went 8-8 from 2011–13, losing the NFC East title in Week 17 of the season each year to three different divisional opponents. In 2014 the Cowboys won the NFC East for the first time in 5 years after key drafts and free agent signings. [7]

I think you nailed it dblshock. I cant think of anybody, including friends who are cowboys fans, who like Jerry Jones. I think it has led to a lot of the hate toward the team.
JJ is a good owner but up til this year is a bad GM
This year he finally listened to his son and the real football people around him and drafted good players instead of going for the flashy ones-Manziel
What a mess that would have been
Jones knows how to make tons of money and the other owners do look up to him if that's the right way to put it
He does get on my nerves
He never saw a camera he wouldn't stick his face in
My dad always said he looks like a skinned frog!
Go Cowboys

I was abig Landry fan and hated the takeover
I despised Jones for many years over this and his overall handling of the team I grew up following
Jones has said that he is sorry for the way things happened
I guess I have grown used to him over the years-kind of like the drunk uncle at Christmas

Even though I picked Green Bay to win, I am rooting for the Cowboys. I think they have the best chance to upset this weekend!

Troy Aikman is by far a better QB. He's was one tough SOB when he played! Plus 3 rings!!

Every single FOX analyst except Howie Long picked the Cowboys to win. Lets get this party started!
