I mean I understand where you are coming from, but the Cowboys revenue has been pretty remarkable. Teams in the NFL share concession revenues from NFL sponsored vendors like Coke. Jones was realized that the Cowboys were accounting for something like over 15-20% of the overall revenue and started selling Pepsi products there before the NFL tried to stop it and he filed suit against all the owners except Al Davis. And yeah he just spent a billion on the stadium which ups the valuation, but that thing is going to pay for itself super quick, he's already locked up the first CFB NCCG in the playoff system. I hate Jerry Jones as a person, but I honestly can't question his ability to make money whether he got his start with the aid of oil or not.

ETA: regardless the thread was meant to say that we locked Drew in at the right time for the right price seeing what qbs around the league are getting now that are no where near his play grade.

I don't know how old you are but I can tell you that the Cowboy's revenue has always been in the top 1 or 2 in the league from the get go. It was Don Meredith, Craig Morton, Roger Staubach, Tom Landry, Walter Garrison, Tony Dorsett, Calvin Hill, Too Tall Jones...these are the guys who created the "Brand" and the revenue that goes with it.

Again, your logic is less than perfect and here's why: Dan Snyder may well be considered the worse owner in the NFL. He has done nothing but create one screw up after another and, yet, the Redskins revenue is always in the top 3 in the league. Is that because Snyder is such a great businessman, or because the Redskin have history?
