Who is one player you were dead wrong about in recent years?

[ArtClink]

Not Sean Lee
Not Overshown
Not Jalon Smith

 

[Whirlwin]

Marist Liufau
He’s going to have a great season

 

[stuckindc]

I would’ve been shocked if they would’ve taken him.

Agree. Cause taking a game changing DT was something we never do. Even when it’s sitting in our lap. And of course goes to Philly.

 

[krs1bro]

I really thought we hit gold with Diggs. Who knows if the injuries didn't happen. Not a team guy that brought negativity to the team. IMO.

Yep. I don’t know what got into them last year trading for Clark and Quinnen I just has to assume it was Shotty in their ear…

 

[Carson]

Gallup. I thought he'd cone back to form and be a really solid wr2.

Injuries robbed him.

 

[Carson]

Kenyon Green

 

[jazzcat22]

Schoonmaker.
I never thought he was going to be a Goedert or Kielce or even Kittle. Or even Witten. But figured he would eventually be the starter.

 

[ratkinson]

Micha Parsons- I thought he wanted to be a cowboy for his career

He did until the great negotiator changed his mind.

 

[blueblood70]

I know this everyone of y'all are guilty or most of y'all need to come in here and apologize to J.Williams and the Cowboys for saying they had the worst running backroom ranked 32 before the season started last year and had no faith in him at all now look...

 

[stuckindc]

Didn’t we also have a chance to pick Bobby Wagner but took someone else? Possibly same year? I could be totally wrong

 

[ratkinson]

Gregory. Thought he could turn his life around. Didn't account for his ten cent head.

It was Gregory for me too. A case of a promising talent interrupted IMO. I guess it's convenient to brand some as simple without making an effort to understand that persons circumstances. Unless he writes one of those (tell alls), most will never know the reasons why he couldn't shake his demons.
Marijuana use was just part of a much bigger struggle--mental health.
Hopefully, with family support and professional assistance, he gets to a place of peace.

 

[Kingofholland]

Mazi. I thought he would be really bad. I didn't think he would be how is this guy playing in the NFL bad

I wasn't expecting him to be a top NFL DT as I didn't think he was a high ceiling player, but expected he would be an immediate starter for 5+ years and would be solid.

Just too slow off the snap

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

I believe the story went if we stood pat it would’ve been Bobby Wagner and Michael Brockers as the picks instead of Claiborne.

 

[cowboyec]

mo claiborne.
taco.
nevelle gallimore.
mazi smith.

i liked them all at the time.
figured they'd be here for a long,long time.
thought all would be good'ns.
whoops.

 

[MapleLeaf]

I guess people still have a hard time with comprehension. I could’ve sworn the title read “recent”.

The problem with recent is many of the recent players are still just forming their contributions and careers in the league.

It makes sense that some forumites would be pulling examples from a little further in history.

I took the same position as you until the reports from the Denver media started coming out.

I would like to just say that most of his problems stemmed from mental health, but some of the trash that came out of his piehole after he left was just plain old immature.

 

[LonnieElam]

Gregory. Thought he could turn his life around. Didn't account for his ten cent head.

Ah, Gregory. I remember announcing here the day he failed his like 5th drug test because my boy that worked for the team told me that day. Everyone was calling me a liar, including a mod. Then, it came out a month later. I'm not trying to impress anybody.

 

[DarkVader33]

He’s not a cowboy but I thought Hakeem Nicks was going to be elite and I wasn’t happy when the vagiants drafted him. Although injuries had something to do with it

Yep BB he was a nice surprise. I need to see it again. Hope he gets a decent running mate so he can continue to stay healthy.
