Ya know what's even more depressing than Wentz and Goff being available when we are at 4 and the teams at 1 and 2 wanting to trade out and we do nothing and lose our chance at both?
Our front office to this day doesn't realize what a mistake that was. It would blow their mind, and the minds of the homer fans, if you called the 2016 draft class what it truly is - one of the worst in team history because of the opportunity that was lost. It set the franchise back years.
They think they nailed that draft. This is how clueless they are.
Goff looked TERRIBLE under Jeff Fisher. You think he would be better under Garrett / Linehan?
Then looking at the Eagles, their Super Bowl MVP was a Backup QB who was TRADED by the previous Eagles Coaching Staff to the team that ended up drafting Goff, and then that QB could not win the starting job against Alex Smith in KC with the HC that drafted him in Philly in the first place.
Risen Star, you keep on bring up Goff and Wentz as if they would be as successful in Dallas as they are in their current situations, yet seem to completely neglect the fact that
Coaching Does Matter.
I strongly doubt that any QB in the 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 or 2020 Draft Class could be truly successful in the JG / SL "genius" offense.
In fact, there was not a single QB drafted since Garrett has been in Dallas (2007) that I believe could be successful under this "offensive system". I would venture to say the last QB drafted that I think could do anything in the JG/SL Offense is Aaron Rogers. But much like Tony Romo, would have had some time with a REAL HC before having to deal with the "Ivy League Genius".
But I will challenge you to find any QB, either drafted or as an UDFA, since 2007 that you have more than 75% confidence that they would have done better than Tony Romo and get Dallas to at least an NFC Championship game. That's a LOT of QBs, yet I'm confident I can dispute any / all of them.
