Elliott question appears later
Jerry Jones' reluctance to draft quarterbacks
Kevin Sherrington: Babe, you and I have had this discussion many times before. In the history of the Cowboys, certainly in the history as Jerry Jones as the owner, his reluctance to select quarterbacks. In those 26 years, he has drafted I believe five quarterbacks. Is that not correct? Does that sound right to you?
Babe Laufenberg: You can name them. You have Troy Aikman, obviously, and Steve Walsh. They had two in the first year of ownership. After that, it was Bill Musgrave. [Then] it was Quincy Carter as a second rounder in 2001. And then it was Stephen McGee in the fourth round about five years ago.
Kevin Sherrington: Over that same period, how many quarterbacks do you think the Packers probably took?
Babe Laufenberg: Oh gosh, seriously, the Packers have drafted more Pro Bowl quarterbacks, albeit they traded them to other teams, than the Cowboys have drafted quarterbacks, period. Because Aaron Brooks was drafted by the Packers. He became a Pro Bowler with New Orleans. Mark Brunnel drafted in the fifth round became a Pro Bowler, obviously, with Jacksonville. Matt Hasselbeck taken in the sixth round became a Pro Bowler at Seattle. Their list goes on and on. It's crazy. Here's the shocking thing, and we have talked about this Kevin...we all know it is the most important position in all of sports.
