Who is one player you were dead wrong about in recent years?

[SteveTheCowboy]

When he’s healthy he consistently performs like in the top 5 of the nfl, stat wise. I think the time for hate on him is over…..

I'm a big believer that stats don't tell the whole story.

For example you could drive down the whole field...producing a LOT of stats. But fail to put the team in the endzone, failing to produce the most important stat.

I am not saying Dak does or does not do this. Just an example of my belief.

 

[RonWashington]

I think so too. He actually led the team in tackles last year. Be mighty interesting to see what he is w/ talent around him and someone who can line up the guys.

I didn’t realize he led the team in tackles . He’s got speed always around the ball perfect for OLB probably Will in the CP scheme . Too light to play MLB you take away what he does best .

 

[RonWashington]

That play for James where he sacked Daniels who got injured showed unbelievable speed .

 

[TwentyOne]

Jalin Hyatt.

I was ready to use our 27th overall pick in 2023 on him thinking he'd be a great #2 receiver to pair with Lamb.

Giants took him 73 overall and he has been a bust.

Of course we took Mazi Smith there so Hyatt would have been the better pick.

Well its bot recently but its by far the worst i remember.

Claiborne.

The guy looked to me like he was Champ Bailey at least. One of the last real shut down CBs. So quick, fast and such fluid hips. Always playing the ball not the WR.

Heck was i wrong. Not a bad player overall but not near what i expected him to be.

Yep that was the rumor

It wasn't just Williams, either, if you watched the way Davis ran, and even when Blue got his chance ,we can still add Mafah to that group, And there's talk about getting Hunter at larger role which they should.. I believe they can stick to the same room they had last year not make a single change and it's going to actually be an improvement this year..

but to say the group and that no faith in Brian Schottenheimer offense Klayton Adams offensive line, I mean they were one of the better running teams in the NFL so rate 32 kind of nuts and that's what they're saying about our linebacker room this year.. He literally said that the run game was gonna be important they would focus on it and they did finally a coach said they were gonna do it and did it not like Mike Mccarthy that liar that didn't like running the football at least it didn't have the same feel the connectivity to the pass game and the offense seem to flow better..

That's why you got to love the preseason hype and all the lists and the rankings and the mock drafts and all the opinions a lot of times people got to come back with egg all over their face and ask for forgiveness. lol

I mean, we were going to be at 14 until the tradeup!!!

It would have been nice to get him.

 

[stuckindc]

Shemar James . I thought he was a bottom of the roster ST 5th rounder . Someone in that maligned FO got it right by trading up for him before someone else took him in the 5th .

To me he was the best LB on the team last year and with a new coaching staff should be better this year .

He’s young too. Hopefully with our new DC /staff he continues. He’s got tools

I was excited about the tradeup, as I thought we were trading up for Cox. I wilted when I heard it was MO. MO wasn't all that fast, wasn't all that quick, lateral agility was meh. I never understood how all the scouts fell for him. I was POed when we wasted a tradeup on him. That's what you get for not micro analyzing a player's skillset.

Didn’t Patrick Peterson go the year before and had a great season? I think they were trying get the next one.

 

[MajesticRey]

2-5

How many active 4th round (or later) QBs have a better record than Dak?

Sounds right.

Mo had a high number of INTs. For some odd reason, this fooled like everyone. It was weird, I read his scouting report and it read like a 3rd round talent. How the scouts all fell for him is beyond me. His lack of ability to mirror and just average speed was always going to derail his career.

 

[kskboys]

Let's see, first ask how many 4th round or later QBs are starting QBs. Here's couple, Brady, Staubach, Unitas, Brock Purdy. Hold it, you said active, sorry. Looks like it's Purdy.

So, I've done what you asked, now it's your turn. Name the active 4th round or later QBs who are starting.

 

[nhcowboyfan]

Schoonmaker.
I never thought he was going to be a Goedert or Kielce or even Kittle. Or even Witten. But figured he would eventually be the starter.

I wasn't confident that he was starter material, but I did expect him to be that complimentary option to Ferguson. But, instead, he has been completely invisible - where there are many games where I can't even remember even hearing his name called or appears on the stat sheet.

He led the team and tackles last season

 

[beware_d-ware]

I thought Sam Williams was a steal.

I thought Sam Williams was a steal.

About that I defended him all I still defending him the man is one of the fastest offenders on the team he has a 1st step I mean he looks like he could be the next Micah Parsons just the way he's built his speed his first step for some reason it doesn't translate into sacks...

Brock Purdy is not better than Prescott they may be on a similar level He might not even be the best on the team you want to know why it's a little different in Dallas than it is in San Francisco They have a more of a plug and play type offensive scheme that can work with multiple different players and yes even the quarterback a lot of backups that rolled through there lately have now become starters and their careers were supposed to all be ****.

Dude last year San Francisco fans were claiming Mac Jones was a better player.. Their eyes was lying to them or it's true it's a system So don't tell me Brock Purdy is better than Prescott unless you put them in this situation since 2016 and find out whether he's good or bad he landed in a very good system that seems to always be well stocked with talent...

Has major problems w/ the mental part of the game. I'm hoping Parker can unleash the Sammy.

Nobody said he was. Man, you really need to read better. Sad for someone who posts books all the time that no one reads.

Seriously, go back and read what the convo was about.

 

[blueblood70]

I think the one player I can remember is is the pet Cat People pick and was believing that if Deuce Vaughn was used correctly after watching him in college do what he did in the Big 12 and I seen him do it again it's a really good teams like Texas and Oklahoma,

How is it that he couldn't have been utilized as a 3rd down scat back I just think that he could have and I may still think he could have if he's in the right place in the right offense who gives him a chance and actually builds packages for him I really thought he can make a name for himself..

I guess the jury's still out because maybe he'll land somewhere and maybe he'll have a resurrection of his career..

I mean the man was not a gadget player in college he was a real running back even at his size he was utilized like a regular running back but here didn't seem like he can ever get enough snaps to prove he should get more snaps..

I mean if it were me I would have been using him on special teams but that was a problem around here terpen already has that Position turpin is also our gadget player on offense,

There wasn't room for him here but I think he can still be that guy if someone really gave him a chance..
