The Pro Football Writers of America just named Jerry Jones as their Executive of the Year.
Did he pay them?
They make a decent case for Jones: http://www.dallascowboys.com/news/2015/01/15/pfwa-announces-jerry-jones-its-2014-nfl-executive-year
Certainly, ending the Dallas playoff drought deserves some consideration, but the Cowboys were really never bad, just average. Recent awardees--Kansas City's John Dorsey in 2013, Ryan Grigson of Indianapolis in 2012 and San Francisco's Trent Baalke in 2011--won for turning terrible teams into good ones in a short span.
I'm sure there were worthier candidates. I think a better case could be made for John Schneider, who has worked with Pete Carroll to build a great roster to maintain excellence over three years running. I'm sure there are other worthy alternatives.
