Most people will blame Weeden, Terrence Williams, Jason Witten for a false start, failure to resign a stud like Gardner, you name it---anything but who should bear the true responsibility.
I'm going to go a step further for those people that claim we're outmanned or missing folks with injuries. While I think that's true and hard to deny, especially when you're missing your franchise QB, let's take a look at who we had that hasn't lived up to their billing.
We used a 2nd, a 2nd and 3rd on Lawrence, Escobar and Williams, respectively. I'm sorry, but they've been MIA. We used two picks on Claiborne and he's been underwhelming thus far. He's been better this year but far from a playmaker you'd expect with a top 10 pick. Look at 2011 with Carter in round 2 and he's no longer here.
And where's Byron Jones? I understand I'm being a little overly critical here. The kid is young. But we've seen something from Gregory that gives us hope he can be a special player. Have we seen that from Byron?
In any event, start looking a little deeper where we should have some depth from the 4th round on and you get the picture of what I'm trying to say. It's bad enough that we've got injuries. But the folks we drafted to make a basic impact on our team and are still here have been anything but. I'm not so sure we've done all that good a job drafting the past few years and I think we're starting to see that as well.
