The Dallas Cowboys have had almost no playoff success in 30 years yet Jerry Jones is claiming success is the most important thing.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

After falling to 3-7, the\u00a0Dallas Cowboys\u00a0were being asked about the idea of\u00a0tanking for a better draft pick\u00a0but they weren’t having it. They even responded with back-to-back wins, prompting Micah Parsons to claim they could\u00a0go on a late run\u00a0and threaten for a playoff spot.<\/p>\n

That’s no longer the feeling in Big D following a devastating\u00a0loss to the Cincinnati Bengals\u00a0in Week 13. Now with a record of 5-8, the conversation has turned back to the\u00a0NFL Draft but Jerry Jones still won’t hear the tank talk.<\/p>\n

While\u00a0appearing on 105.3 The Fan, Jones stressed the importance of success. That’s quite the take from the man who is running the least succesful postseason team over the past 30 years. He’s also\u00a0doing nothing to change their future prospects\u00a0since he’s become\u00a0increasingly frugal\u00a0in the past few seasons.<\/p>\n
