We are all upset with the years of failures. But don't think for a second that this gives you a license to undo a mans accomplishments. Jerry bought the team, fired everybody & hired the people who built that team.
He deserves no more or no less credit than any other NFL owner who won 3 championships. If you can find any ..it's a real short list. I'm willing to bet you were not as critical of the guy when the boys were winning all of those championships. But my, how popular is it these days to say all he did was cut the checks.
Perhaps because we won IN SPITE OF HIM...we just need to get lucky enough to do it again...writing the checks is the only thing he does well. When Jimmy told him to shut up and sit in the corner the team was built. As Jerry started to flex his power more and more over time, the team saw a reverse correlation with the number of wins and certainly playoff success...
