Where Patience is Warranted and Where it Is Not

• 22 year old rookies who haven’t even played a regular season game yet deserve some patience.
• Some developmental players who may take more than a year to be what we hoped they would be.

Here where patience is NOT warranted:

• Our 80 year old owner/GM who has had 28 years to at least win a divisional round playoff game or get us to a conference championship game and hasn’t.
• Maybe this year is the year. We certainly are capable with a good roster and good coaches.

I believe the young men who are busting their butts right now to get better as football players deserve patience. The old man in the owners box? I don’t think a single Cowboys fan is wrong to be sick of watching his tired act spout “uhs” by the dozens in unnecessary interviews and general self centered-ness that has at times undermined our coaches.

As a life-long educator who spent decades teaching and working with young people, my colleagues and I used to have a phrase we used a lot: “Don’t ever give up on a kid. Adults have had time to know better”.
