Who was the absolute worst most hopeless player to ever play for the Dallas Cowboys

[JohnnyTheFox]

Some great answers here, who was the TE that was being groomed and touted as the next Jay Novacek? Lafleur or Bjornson?

 

[buybuydandavis]

Don't be picking on T-Rex Costa.

I'm the President of the Phil Costa Fan Club.

I'm also the only member.

You guys realize the Cowboys existed for 30 years before 1990.......right?

BTW some of the answers in this thread are WAY off.

Most people are answering "which player do you have the biggest grudge against?"

Answer any way you think the criteria fits.

the first name that popped into my head was chad Hutchinson but I don’t think that’s really fair. He just kind of looked like a goober. No one likes chads.

couple other names like Justin beariault shouldn’t really count but you can go that way.

we kicked around guys like Phil costa and Alan ball for what seemed like years.

david buehler our backup kickoff specialist definitely didnt contribute much.





Screw all that it was Quincy carter. He is our worst player of all time

Quincy carter

The complete special teams draft.
What a disaster that was.

Nolan Carroll

Nice FA signing Chuckles!!!

That was terrible.
Played one game and we waived him
Problem was we had to pay him for the whole season.

 

[Hadenough]

Matt Johnson
Joey Galloway

Does Rowdy qualify ???????

Maybe so, although might it also be noted that he's a victim of very poor costuming?!

 

[Pass2Run]

Joseph Randle has to be right up there. After Demarco Murray left in free agency, that guy was handed the keys to the kingdom. He was set up to be ‘the guy’, running behind the best line in the league at that time.

He squandered the opportunity so badly that I think he’s currently in prison.

Randle had a lot of talent to hope for. But he got concussed so badly it sent him spiraling down. He's still in a prison-style mental hospital, as we speak.

Mike Vanderjagt... just our luck.

We sign the most accurate kicker in NFL history (at the time) and he’s so awful that we need to replace him midseason with Martin Gramatica.

The idiot kicker!

Everybody is a victim, no one is responsible for their own actions anymore....

I did not know that, how sad !

Rico Gathers....the HOF legend to have taken NFL by storm LOL

 

[maryquality]

Jacques Reeves and Bobby Carpenter for me.

 

[Aikmaniac]

Phil Pozdarek, Phil Costa, Clay Shiver, Shante Carver, Duane Goodrich. How much time ya got. I got more names.

No...please stop!

Alexander Wright, Randall Williams, David LaFleur, Drew Henson, Morris Claiborne, Pete Hunter, Pat Watkins...OMG it's catching. Please make the nightmare stop!

So many answers here from people just hating on a player.

Roy Williams WR was not a terrible player; disappointing yes. Not his fault Jerry was an idiot (always has been of course)
Quincy was a mediocre QB but certainly not the worst we have had here
Rafael Septien was a terrible human being but a great kicker.

Even Barbara Carpener was not the worst LB we ever had.

But some morons just have to vent their spleen.

Two Phils - Pozderac and Costa- certainly would be in my top 10 All Time Worst Cowboy Players

Jacques Reeves and Bobby Carpenter for me.

Bobby was the victim of the Parcels coaching change to Wade Phillips. Bobby was not what Wade wanted in an 3-4 OLB which was his natural position. You might recall Bobby started the Seattle playoff game at OLB and played really well. He batted down 2 or 3 balls and got good pressure on the QB all game. The future looked bright at that point.

Then Parcels left and along came Wade who tried to make him into a 3-4 ILB to disastrous affect on his career. He was never suited to the position. I will never understand why we didn't trade him other than the usual reluctance of Jerry to make the effort to work a trade. By the time he left Dallas, he was a shell of the player he was coming out of OSU.

Rob Pettiti is up there on the list.

The definition of ... OL on Skates ...

 

[Pass2Run]

The award goes to Drew Henson.

 

[Mauricio]

There was a big FA signed a TE whose last name was Santiago, I don think he played a single snap
