Comments on: Worst Decision Award for 2009 goes to… http://firejerryjones.com/2010/02/worst-decision-2009/ No longer in business (but feel free to look around).

Jerry gave the 2009 Dallas Cowboy defensive line coach Todd Grantham permission to leave the Cowboys for UGA (substituting journeyman-coach Pasqualoni as DL coach) before the Minnesota game and the Vikings made Jerry and our Cowboys pay for this lapse in the GM's playoff judgement.

Those salaries of top draft picks were getting absurd. I really hope it doesn't wind up in a lock out of the 2011 season. That would be a huge gut punch to the momentum that the NFL has picked up recently with its popularity. Even though I'm a bigger fan of college football than pro football, that would still suck personally. Sunday afternoons in the fall are synonymous with football. The rookie cap is a HUGE must.

That one is a doosy! I now think one of the best decisions was the lead Jerry took in the vote to the cut short the CBA. I believe that in the long term a new CBA has to happen for teams with small revenue streams and consistently poor records to survive. With changes in a few areas such as; lowering the percentage of player payroll, and especially that of em-placing a rookie cap on salaries.

I think I would have to say that letting Kevin Burnett walk was the worst decision of 2009. It would have been excusable if there had been someone behind him that was ready to play. Instead, we got to see Barbie Carpenter flailing about all season. So much for that vaunted linebacker depth, eh?<br><br>With regards to Folk, that one's easy to pick on because we have the benefit of hindsight. If Suisham hadn't sucked as much as his first go-round with the Cowboys, no one would be saying a peep about the release of Folk. Besides, that could be easily rectified. Provided that he's amenable to returning to the team (unless I missed that he already signed somewhere else). I don't know.

Folk proved that can kick, he was just having an off-year. Give him time to get out of his funk. Injured Reserve would have been a better way to go.
