Are you insinuating that the Cowboys didn't draft Moss because Irvin made them afraid to? That's so far off base it's impossible to qualify.

I can absolutely guarantee Jerry would pick Irvin every year if he had a chance.
Moss didn't get drafted because of his own huge red flags. Which is why numerous teams passed on him.
I don't think OP is arguing this point with you. Besides, Irvin was drafted by Landry/Schramm.
If one could agree Jerry would take Irvin every year, then saying Irvib scared him away from taking Miss would make no sense. If anything, Moss scared Jerry away from taking Moss. Ramsey Moss had, at that point, a historic amount of baggage.
I just find it ridiculous that the guy who took Gregory, signed Hardy and wanted Manziel (and that's just the last two years) would shy away from Moss due to Irvin. It doesn't make any sense or fit his character or extensive history.
We need to just stay away from players with substance abuse problems regardless of their talent. If you're stupid enough to hurt your draft spot in college by getting high, chances are you will be stupid enough in the pros as well.
