Zero respect.
Education = Respect.
Alzeheimers = sympathy

I’m not going to respect someone’s outdated opinion just because of what they did or thought 30 or 40 years ago. That’s absurd. Society or the game of football would never advance if everyone had that mindset.

Early on in his career, long before joining the Cowboys staff, Gil Brandt was a baby photographer. He was the most knowledgeable scout around the NFL for a time before and shortly after computerization finally became more sophisticated in the late 70s. Eventually, the various talent organizations became a primary info source, they pretty much took over as the leading sources of NFL talent evaluation. He still keeps up with talent evaluation as best as any one aged individual can but it's done pretty much in terms of being fodder for media publicity. He's still quite well respected within that framework.

When the team needed an influx of new talent, Landry and Brandt failed

1978 1st round, Larry Bethea, DE a big, big bust;
2nd round FB Todd Christiansen, who refused to play TE and clashed with coaches, who dumped him and he became Al-Pro TE
3-6 busts
3 Dave Hudgens DT
4 Alois Blackwell RB
5 Rich Rosen G
6 Harold Randolph LB
7 Tom Randall G


1979 draft, 3rd round, best player on board, Joe Montana, as Boys had the podium.

Roger, Danny White and #2 pick in '78 Glen Carano, "we are overloaded with Qb's, let's pass on Joe, get the best TE, Doug Cosbie." Doug became starter in 84. I loved him, very good choice, except we passed on Montana, same skinny size as Danny White, 6'2" 185, but Joe had "it."

1st round 1979, 238 lb center from Tennessee, Robert Shaw. In 1980 he came back bigger and stronger ( steroids?) and started in 1980, then blew out his knee mid season.

2nd round 79, CB Aaron Mitchell, bust. Had been sensation in camp. Charlie Waters called him "AM, PM." When he hits you it is a.m., when you wake up from the hard hit, it is p.m.

1980 no 1st and 2nd rounders, John Dutton trade.
3 Bill Roe LB BUST
3 James Jones RB BUST

78-80 DRAFTS, only one good player Doug Cosbie
1981 1st pick OT Howard Richards, BUST

1986
1 Mike Sherrard WR UCLA kept breaking bones
2 Darryl Clack RB bust
3 Mark Walen DT bust
4 Max Zendejas K waste and a bust
6 Thornton Chandler TE, 3rd stringer at best, so bust


When the team needed an influx of new talent, Landry and Brandt failed and we all suffered, at least those of us a bit older.

In 73-77, Brandt engineered trades which gave us Too Tall Jones, Randy White and Dorsett, all superstars, which kept team going, but ......
thereafter, terrible drafts, some of them highlighted above, dragged the team down to obvlion, as the Boys became the laughing stock of the NFL. A dark period in Cowboy fandom and in my life.

It's fairly easy to see how and why the team got to the point it was at around 88/89 if you look at those drafts.

The Dutton trade didnt help.

Same as if you look at what happened leading into the Campo years.

Awful drafting, Galloway trade didnt help.

You cant blow every draft pick and not be a bad team.

Games are won and lost in April.

While I give Gil Brandt credit for his innovations in buiding and maintaining the Cowboys until 1979, with surprising draft picks and signings from tiny schools, players who became great, and great trades in the early 70's which rebooted in a hurry an aging team, starting with the 1978 draft through the 1987 draft, the Boys were among the worst drafters in football.

From 78-87, only one number 1 pick was a a long time starter, DE Jim Jeffcoat, 1983 Arizona State. The talent level dropped and dropped and dropped. In 1985, I was an eyewitness to a 44-0 blowout loss to Da Bears. The talent level differntial was glaring. The Boys had no wide receiver talent. At one point thet had BIll Bates returning punts.

Landry and Gil Brandt got long in the tooth and lost their ability to judge talent. They revered their strategies and decided to go to big schools for proven talent and drafted two DL college studs, Kevin Brooks from Michigan and Danny Noonan from Nebraska. Noonan started for a few years, but was mediocre at best. Brooks was a bust galore and Jimmy Johnson cut his *** in 89.

I do not know how Gil Brandt has become a genius in talent evaluation in his 80's fro NFL Radio when he was done after JJ cleaned house in 1989, over 30 years ago.

The saving grace of Landry/Brandt was the '88 draft with Michael Irvin and Ken Norton. When Jimmy Johnson came to Dallas, the only players he really liked were Irvin, Norton, Kelvin Martin, Hershel Walker, Doug Cosbie ( who suffered a carer ending knee in jury in 89) Tuinei and Nate Newton. Jimmy took out his broom and swept out all the lesser talent and started at rock bottom.

Within a few years, Jimmy built the best team in football, the youngest ever to win teh Super Bowl. He had waves of defensive line studs. He had winners and warriors, built for along run, until his divorce from Jerry, and the NFL free agency which robbed the Boys of solid players who went on to very good to excellent years with other teams, including: Kevin Gogan, Ron Stone, Ken Norton, Brock Marion.

So while I give Gil Brandt credit for all those great early years, he must also fess up to the terrible failures of 78-98 drafts, which caused die-hards like me to be depressed for over a decade. I do not know why at such an advanced age he is on the NFL Radio show.
Because his history demands respect.

And perhaps there were more contributing factors to the struggles in Cowboys downturn in 80’s.

The downturn of the 80’s was several contributing factors. Misses in draft is certainly one of them. The rest of the league caught up with Cowboys computerized info.

Losing great asst coaches like Dan Reeves, Mike Ditka and Gene Stallings who all went on to much success as Head Coaches took a toll as well.

And of course after Danny White went down in 1986 the Cowboys and Landry never recovered not having another winning season with the likes of Hogeboom and Pueller at QB.

He was the Godfather on the integration of computer tech at the time and infusing data for evaluation.
He set the standard at that time and it should never be forgotten or ignored how integral he was.

The idea for using computer tech was driven by Clint Murchison and Tex Schramm. Brandt provided the criteria to analyze, but the ideas came from the owner and Schramm. Schramm had used computers for the Winter Olympics coverage when he worked for CBS in the late 1950's (he still worked for CBS on the Squaw Valley games in 1960, despite having been hired for the Cowboys in 1959). He reached out to IBM, who provided the computers for CBS, and with the assistance of Salaam Querishi (an IBM computer engineer), the computer was introduced to football scouting.

Better to be great once then never be great at all. Brandt is and was a legend in the sport. Who cares if he lost his touch towards the end.

The biggest reason why the Cowboys drafting went south was due to the move of the draft in the calendar. In 1976, the draft moved from being held in January to April, then it went to May in 1977. These extra months allowed other teams to close the gap with the Cowboys computer model. After the Cowboys stole Tony Dorsett in a trade with the Seahawks, their selections fell off the cliff. Picking at the end of the first didn't help, necessarily, but they began reaching for guys, looking for "steals", and failing spectacularly. You'd be hard pressed to find a team that drafted worse than the Cowboys between 1978 and 1987. By the time 1988 rolled around, Bob Ackles had more of a say in personnel than Brandt did.

No crap? I guess I wasted 4 years in college teaching and majoring in history, thanks for the lesson professor. Guess I’ll get back to reading about the history of Texas and why the Spanish failed to colonize it.

BTW, you’re absolutely right about understanding history and it’s relation to why and how things are and will be which is why some of us realize that Gil is out of touch with todays game and have moved on whereas others still hang on to what he says as if it’s gospel because of something he accomplished over 20-30 years ago and is mostly irrelevant to todays game.

I agree with your assessment of Gil Brandt’s fade at the end of his great career.

Moral of the story: All NFL Front Office executives and coaches have an effectiveness “expiration date”. 100% of them. Tom Landry, Don Shula, Gil Brandt, Charlie Casserly and many, many others included.

Attention Jerry Jones: Hasn’t your “effectiveness expiration date” passed?

How could you forget Rod Hill. IMO, Rod Hill is the greatest 1st-round failure in the history of the Dallas Cowboys. He had all the talent in the world, but he just wasn't into football. Thus the biggest problem with Gil's computer. It could not measure heart and desire.

Gil was great in his time, but like all of us, our time comes to an end.

Don't forget Jim Jeffcoat. Jimmy loved Jeffcoat's leadership.

He certainly deserves respect.

I think the OP's point was that his current opinions on players and draft potential should not be taken as pure gold.
In fact, they are often fairly awful.
Does not mean he should not get respect for his past work

Agreed. Joe Montana was not good his last couple years. That said in his hey day he was the best. It’s not a crime to lose it. We all do.

I think the OP is wrong. Granted, the last 5 years he was with the Cowboys was not great. That does not mean you can just dismiss the other 24 years he was with the Cowboys producing great talent through innovation. He was the one that introduced using computers to the scouting department. This was in a day when only NASA was using computers to do their job. Gil Brandt is rightfully in the RoH and deserves to be in the HoF. IMO, not appreciating him is just a result of ignorance, mostly through youth. In sports, we tend to only consider what we were old enough to witness.
