How many times has Jerry and Company got it right and actually drafted a bonafied very good QB with a high expensive pick? ANSWER: only Troy Aikman.
Yet, you want me to be a good soldier and gleefully cheer to one's delight for the decisions this company makes when being tasked to draft a good QB?
Pfft...time to wake up and smell the roses, Sunshine. Appreciate what you've got, reward it for its hard word, and make sure to keep it while just entering its prime with the ceiling only going higher....instead of being dumb and greedy with the most important position on the team.
To be fair, after Aikman the next highest drafted QB(top 3 rounds imo) since then was Quincy* as a second rounder. Other QB's drafted was Musgrave in 91(4th) McGee(4th) in 09, Prescott(4th) in 16 and White(5th) in 17.
Technically it was Steve Walsh, but that was the supplemental draft.
So, it's not like the Cowboys have drafted QB's high in the draft a lot.
Since 1989 with Aikman, they've drafted 0 in the 1st, and only one in the 2nd.
Now, you can point at almost draft picks like Manziel and Lynch, but they never did pull the trigger on either the player or trade to draft them
