Then what do you need Jerry

He has 2 years left on his deal and with as much trouble as this dude gets into I’d call his bluff let him sit and watch that $40,000 per day no show fee add up.

Can they just cut him and move on? The pokes aren't winning a championship anyway so just cut bait and move on.

Then what do you need Jerry

A coach like Jimmy Johnson, obviously. Along with a buttload of draft picks from another dimwitted franchise. I seem to recall that was the formula.

You need Matt “MeatToad” Stonie, the Elliot of competitive eating.

Where is Duane Thomas when you need him?

You may not NEED one, but it sure helps make the path a lot easier...to say nothing of not having to DEFEND against one that the OTHER team might possess...

The first rushing champion to win a super bowl was Emmitt Smith. The last one was Terrell Davis in '98. The 90s were the only decade to have one.

The truth is you don't need a "rushing champion," but doesn't mean you don't need a good running game. Still, having a great QB is a better bet for winning one. It's like "game manager" QBs. They rarely win super bowls.

Although it's a self-fulfilling prophecy as QBs generally stop getting called game-managers if they win a Super Bowl.
