But they were also successful with Bledsoe before him, and were wise enough to go with the Brady over Bledsoe when the time presented itself. Jones didn't resign Smith after the 2nd superbowl and the Cowboys fell (an omen of things to come) he caved in an resigned him and they got their 3rd superbowl...In short if ANYONE had come in to sign Smith after Smith went home the Cowboys never get ring 3 because Jones was already screwing up.
