“Relax. It’s a Long Season”: Jerry Jones’ Son Takes Inspiration From Aaron Rodgers as He Addresses Dallas Cowboys Fan’s Concerns After Week 1 Loss

Aaron Rodgers once told the entire fan base of the Packers to ‘relax.’ Inspired by his words, and stuck facing the heat of the fans. Dallas Cowboys executive vice-president takes a page out of Rodgers’ notebook.

After a long trophy drought spanning decades now, the Dallas Cowboys fans are really concerned with the team. Following a disappointing offseason, the Cowboys did not hit the ground running. After their Week 1 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Tom Brady, the fans boiled over. Jerry Jones’ son, Stephen Jones, who is also the executive vice-president of the Cowboys, addressed the fans.

Appearing on the GBag Nation, Stephen said, “We are one game into the season. What comes to my mind is Rodgers a couple of years ago, when he said, ‘relax.’ It’s a long season,” calling for the fans to calm down. He further explained that he does understand the concerns of the fans. And that they have to execute better going further into the season.

When Aaron Rodgers told the fans to ‘Relax’

This was a call-back to when Aaron Rodgers had a similar message for fans. Following a 1-2 start to the season back in 2014. Rodgers calmly told the fans, “Five letters here just for everybody out there in Packer-land: R-E-L-A-X, relax. We’re going to be ok.”

The quarterback did ultimately justify his statement, though. The Green Bay Packers finished with a record of 12-4. They even went to the conference finals, where they lost to the Seattle Seahawks.

Why are the Cowboys’ fans frustrated?

In defense of the Dallas Cowboys fans, it’s been a long, long time since they have seen their team make it to a super bowl. Popularly known as America’s Team, the Cowboys have not been able to make a deep run into the playoff for quite some time. Their last postseason victory came in 2019 against Russell Wilson and the Seahawks.

They were considered heavy favorites coming into last season and they did finish at the top of their division. Their journey came to an end in the first round of playoffs, where they were diffused by the San Francisco 49ers.

With Dak Prescott still injured and Ezekiel Elliott still not looking at his best. The fans might have to wait a little longer. Jerry Jones recently said in an interview that he’s seen giants been slayed, that is exactly what the cowboys will have to do in their Week 3 match-up against the New York Giants.
