Jerry's Approach on Drafting QBs

[b0xZZ]

This is Jerry's history of drafting QB's since Aikman and you can see a distinctive pattern here. Keep in mind Aikman was drafted in 1989, 34 years ago. It's been 27 years since the Cowboys have even sniffed the NFC championship. Some of you weren't even alive the last time we had a QB good enough to play in that game.

Quincy Carter
Isaiah Standback
Tony Romo (undrafted)
Stephen McGee
Dak Prescott
Den DiNucci

This isn't counting Chad Hutchinson and Drew Henson who were playing baseball when Jerry Came calling.

The most important position on the team and the highest draft pick we invested was the 53rd overall pick (2nd Rd) for Quincy Carter who was a trainwreck. I think Jerry thinks he's smarter with this position than he is because Romo and Prescott turned out to be over achievers given their pedigree though neither were still able to get to the the conference championship with some very good teams. Now he thinks he has this gift of being able to find QB talent in unconventional ways.

The Tom Brady effect ruined Jerry.

He thought because Romo and Dak overachieved that he struck gold and found the next Brady.

When it reality Brady is a 1 of 1.

Why we will never win anything cause Jerry and Stephen have no idea

He literally fell into a golden situation with Romo. Undrafted QB who at the top of his game was argurably in the elite category but failed to build a team around him until it was to late and kept JG around way to long. He missed his only opportunity to win another title if not titles cause he has no idea what he's doing cause "we like our guys"

Then let's cut to the chase and sign Stetson Bennett, and see how that works out. Forget what Mel Kiper says.

Perhaps Jerry did. After all, when firing Jimmy, he felt he could grab any coach to do exactly what Jimmy did......how's that working out.

Romo and Dak have overachieved based on how they came about (undrafted and 4th round).
Comparing them to Brady would completely be unfair......Brady is an anamoly.....overachieved by standards that became GOAT.

Worse, look at all of the attempts to move around and the interest in QBs that they DIDN'T bring to Dallas.
To me, that illustrates how bad things could really be.

I usually try to forget what he says

Between Aikman and Romo how many failures did we have at QB both free agents and draft or undrafted guys?

 

[removed_20241105]

I think Jerry is constantly in a position where as the owner, he constantly covers up for himself as the GM. He never really starts over and instead, continues to feed the masses that they are close and just needs a player or coach here or there.

In my opinion he seems to like the lottery ticket approach every year, instead of building something sustainable and consistent from the ground up.

THE APPROACH IS pay this back up, and bring no one else in here better than him to cause a QB controversy

Mr irrelevant did well why can't he

Remember, Jerry wanted Paxton Lynch and Connor Cook over Dak.

 

[Cmac]

He can.....but if he comes to us.....he'll get ruined the moment he walks in The Star. May sell tickets though.

Of course we know how to hype up people lol

He did not fire Jimmy

Randall Cunningham, still can’t believe he was a cowboy. We had 20 quarterbacks after Troy Aikman before Tony Romo.

He also had serious interest in Johnny Football if reports were accurate

Anthony Wright, Testeverde, Bledsoe I know I’m missing a few. Brandon Weeden was even here for awhile

It’s easier than ever to find a QB. Especially with a team built like ours.
