For all you younger fans, you may not know about the 1980's Cowboys' teams. Talent level dropped like crazy. There are some eerie similarities to the current team.
1. A QB who could only take the team so far, who did not have "It." Danny White and Dak.
2. A first round LB with lots of talent whose neck injuries ruined a potential great career, Billy Cannon #1 in 1984, Vander Esch #1 2018.
3. A stinker #1 draft pick DL from Michigan, 1985 Kevin Brooks, 2023 Mazie Smith, 2017 Taco Charlton
4. Old in the tooth management losing touch.
5. Countless bust picks in rounds 2-4,
DL Fehoko TE Schoonmaker WR Jalen Tolbert DT Neville Gallimore DT Tristen Hill CB Reggie Robinson WR R. Switzer CB Kelvin Joseph CB Nashon Wright LB Jabril Cox
6. Donovan Wilson only one left from 2019 draft class; LB Eugene Lockhart only decent player from 1984 draft
7. This current team alone: decent high draft picks leaving current team, not keeping them and not having in-house replacements, such as Connor Williams, Connor McGovern, DE Dorance Armstrong, Tony Pollard; We hit on Terrance Williams and Michael Gallup, who produced in rookie seasons as viable "getting open" wide receivers, while J Tolbert looks like a practice squad player, never getting open and no one else NFL good to pair with Lamb.
8. The current talent evaluations are reminding me of the 1980's. Who is responsible for the worst stable of RB's in Cowboys history? A set of receivers as low on talent other than Lamb not seen since 1984-1987?
This team cannot be rebuilt in one year. But I have two college players who can definitely be instant impact players on this team, which lacks explosive players and WR's other than Lamb, who can get open at will.
