QB Acquisitions from Aikman's Last Season/Post Johnson Era to the Present

[DallasEast]

For some reason this era we just haven’t invested our draft resources . Mainly because of an undrafted and 4th rounder falling into our laps.

You’d think our ownership would look back in our glorious history for guidance.

Meredith- 1st player signed by the Cowboys
Morton- 1st round pick
Staubach- Heisman and would have been 1st round if not for Navy service
Aikman- overall 1st pick

White- was a 3rd round pick which back then was 53rd overall. Begun his QB career in WFL and then Dallas as punter for 4 years before taking over after Roger retired.

At least in 2002 we used a 2nd round pick on Carter which he fizzled out with drug problems. But that’s our highest use of investment for a QB this Century. Unbelievable!!

bold> Yeah. Dallas' previous ownership (not necessary just Bum Bright) may have kept a multiple Super Bowl winning and appearance head coach a little too long. Jerry Jones rid himself of a multiple Super Bowl winning head coach in short order.

I really do not believe Jones learned any lessons from what the franchise accomplished before he purchased it. Heck. He kept re-telling the story of Tex Schramm advising him the qualifications for whomever he should induct in the Ring of Honor, while delaying Jimmy Johnson's enshrinement but telling Johnson he would put him in privately. Just an example of how he acted upon old school Dallas Cowboys thought processes.

Alex Tanney

Thanks. Dallas' infamous Trick Shot Quarterback, lol. Tanney was signed to the practice squad after preseason and remained with the team until the Cleveland Browns grabbed him later that November.

The graphic and list have been updated.

truly pathetic and I say this as someone who rarely jumps in on the bash Jerry (or organization) trend.

he has played well in only ONE playoff game against a beat up losing TB.
Micah also disappeared; and has done so late in each season so far which I think might be more a case of too many snaps and he gets worn out. IF that is the case then the team is at fault for not managing it. Just speculation on that.

He played very good against GB in 2016, passing for over 300 yards and 3 TDs. He had us in position to win the game but our defense choked in the final seconds. He played well against Seattle in our playoff win in 2018 and he outplayed Jared Goff in our loss the following week to the Rams. Our defense lost that game. Some of you are clearly blinded by your hated for Dak.
