When you look at the trades, any trades, you have to consider that trade on its own. Sure the Johnson to houston for renfro and 5th pick was nice, maybe, I dont even remember it. But the Walker trade is the trade that made history. Similar to the NO trade made to get the rights to pick Williams. that trade too also deserves special merit due to the idiocy of the whole thing. Like that trade, Walker to Minn was a colosal blunder by the vikes, that contributed prolly 80-90%to the collective RISE of the cowboys into NFC powerhouse.
Credit Jimmy and Jerry for being smart enough to envision such a trade, being prompt enough to act and carry it out. But to say a trade before hand for a 5th rounder set it up is bigger then "the trade" itself is ludicrous. We would have found another pick worthy of inclusion into this trade to make it happen. It might not have happened exactly like it did, But it would have still happened and still been the biggest trade player and pick wise of all time, and still a colosal blunder on minn part.
No sir, The Trade is the biggest trade in Cowboys history and the other then trading the bambino to the yankees, may be the all time stupidest trades of all time.
Step aside for the Cowboys from Hell!!!!!
