Still, I don't think it's fair to say that you can't criticize this move because JJ has rings. That would be like someone telling you not to criticize the Cassel trade or Pioli's recent drafting history because he has rings. Most Cowboys fans still consider that JJ's worst mistake, and it could have cost them dearly.

Uh, no it wouldn't.
You're criticizing a decision that directly led to THREE Super Bowl rings.
At the TIME, sure criticize away. In retrospect, it appears he knows exactly what he was doing.
There is no comparison between that, and criticizing Pioli for a decision that we won't be able to determine as a failure or success for several years, especially when the rings in question have nothing to do with this particular decisiojnn.
