Ok. Well considering Staubach, D. White, T. Romo, D. Meredith were all not first rounders, and our only franchise guy who was = T. Aikman, if you isolate it to the Cowboys only, your point is deflated.

You don't need a 1st round QB to win.
Why exactly would we isolate anything to the cowboys? Does Dallas have magic water that makes QBs better?

Here is what NBC Sports Philadelphia had to say about the Cooper trade LOL:

"... Jones wasn't content with merely being bad in 2018. He ensured the Cowboys would be going nowhere for seasons to come when he traded their first-round draft pick - currently projected in the top 10 - for Amari Cooper, doubling down on a team with an embattled coach, floundering quarterback and losing record.

And Jones appears prepared to further entrench the Cowboys in mediocrity, repeatedly announcing his intentions to extend the contract of said quarterback who appears to lack the tools necessary to be the focal point of an NFL offense."

haha- probably true. Of course, the Eagles DO have a QB capable of utilizing such a WR.
Well I can't tell......they are a game in front of us lol. They have been just as bad as us if not a little a better since they are at .500. Wentz gave up a 17 point lead to this same trash Titans that smacked us up.

Ylol u can't call them morons and then have blind faith in them to do well with that first round pick when they have a history of doing stupid things when they are desperate.

Keep spinning

Eagles fans wanted no part of Cooper for a first round pick (when it was rumored that is what Oakland wanted).

Doesn't matter what they say in hindsight. They would've loved having him instead of a 30 year old Golden Tate. Anyone who says otherwise is fooling themselves.

Keep spinning
Its a "spin" when someone calls you out on our BS? You are contradicting yourself lol. This organization is "stupid" and "morons" and can't evaluate talent since they gave up a 1st for Cooper but you have faith they would've picked the right player next year lol. Which one is it Syd? Trying to keep up with you here but you're running in circles.

The reason this trade is bad is because we dont have someone to get cooper the ball. If cooper was randy moss this would be a bad trade think randy when he played for oakland.

They weren't in position to do this yet they did it anyway. The bigger issue is the clueless front office who thought a WR would fix this mess. Deja vu.

I’m honestly ok with it at this point because it’s the only way our coach will get fired. We can acquire a QB in the off season and draft one in 2020.

I don't see why we can't pick one up in this draft, besides the need to be creative to get them. I think one of the current top five QBs will fall as always. W. Grier could fall to the bottom of the first or second even.

If they planned to use that pick on a WR i think Cooper is just as good if not better than the guys coming out. Also it probably won't be a top 5 pick.
