How many years did they stick with Escobar? Or Chaz Green? It looks to me to be 'selective'.
Shante, LaFluer (who Aikman pushed for over Tony Gonzalez), and Bobby. It’s arguable to say the least. Let’s not get crazy. Still a wasted first round pick however you slice it.Really? Ever hear of WR Dennis Homan? RB Charlie Young? DB Rod Hill? LB Billy Cannon Jr? DT Kevin Brooks? DE Shante Carver? TE David LaFluer LB Bobby Carpenter?
As bad as he is, I don't think he's top 3.
So the only explanation of why we didn’t trade Taco for something is our FO is bad? Every team knew we were gonna cut him, therefore no trade. I believe we traded for those guys before cutdowns, so that may have been a difference as well.Do you think every player that gets traded is a quality player? We traded for Jayrone Elliott & Bene Benwikere two years ago...6th and 7th rd picks. Both were on their way to being cut but we traded for them b/c of need and the certainty of attaining the players. Taco should at the very least fit in that category.
Hey, not that facts matter but Green was on IR his first year and had two solid starts in his first full year. His second year on the team/third year in the NFL he fell apart and was cut.
And then try to point to other team's mistakes, as if that somehow makes it 'better'. It doesn't.
Zeke.If he balls out somewhere, who is that going to reflect the most poorly on?
Zordon takes every opportunity to trash the Cowboys. Just ignore him.So the only explanation of why we didn’t trade Taco for something is our FO is bad?

These were your exact words, its only a few pages back in this thread:
Stash: Can anyone recall the last 1st round pick that was outright cut this quickly?
Kaiser: Ereck Flowers was drafted 9th overall and couldn't play from the start, that is a much bigger draft bust than this fiasco.
Stash: Why this compulsion to point to another team's blunders?
IIRC, injuries ruined LaFluer. IMO, LaFluer may have been a bust, but it wasn’t due to talent or the Cowboy’s evaluation process.Shante, LaFluer (who Aikman pushed for over Tony Gonzalez), and Bobby.

Well. It's not like 75% of the board didn't warn everyone this was a turd pick.....
