I am a conspiracy theorist. I always have been. I don’t believe that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe that Area 51 is hiding evidence of the 1947 Roswell, New Mexico UFO crash. And, I believe the Dallas Cowboys won’t play Kellen Moore out of fear of making Jerry Jones look foolish. He doesn’t want to add to the circus that has been the Dallas Cowboys season.
It’s a harmless conspiracy, but not completely out of the question. From what I know of Jerry Jones he has a very large ego. I don’t blame him for that. He is a billionaire. He owns the most valuable team in the NFL. He is the President and General Manager. He’s in total control. Don’t kid yourself. Jason Garrett is the head coach, but Jerry’s word is the law.
When Tony Romo went down with a broken collarbone, the Cowboys handed the reigns to Brandon Weeden. At the time Jones was high on Weeden:
After the three starts, and three losses Jerry Jones threw Weeden under the bus after he was released:
Insert foot in mouth Jerry!
Along comes Matt Cassel. In seven starts he’s posted a 1-6 record. The one win came in part thanks to a late gift of a fumble recovery by the Cowboys. Loss after loss Jerry Jones and Jason Garrett keep saying that Cassel gives them the best chance to win. Meanwhile, Jones gave himself an “F” grade for their backup quarterback situation. Insert foot in mouth again Jerry! So now the Cowboys are 4-9 and somehow still alive for a playoff spot. If Cassel leads them to a win or two, then Jones saves face. If they don’t, he can spin it. The Cowboys will own a high draft pick. It’s a lose-win-win situation.
If Kellen Moore played, and played well, the Cowboys organization would be questioned about why it didn’t happen sooner. It won’t happen because of Jerry Jones’ ego. That’s my conspiracy theory and I’m sticking with it. So in the meantime, Moore sits behind Matt Cassel and his 73.1 Quarterback Rating and embellished 1-6 record. Kellen might as well be banished to Area 51 with the aliens!
