Who is the most over rated player in Dallas Cowboys history

[plymkr]

Heck of a list and add McFadden to it as well.

Ahh, I forgot about McFadden

Yup. That was the emptiest 1,000 yd season I've ever seen. Shades of Peerless Price.

Without a doubt Jason Witten.

That guy was a little above average at best. His last 3 or 4 years were terrible as he somehow slowed down.

Stats were always padded by garbage time.

Is this a trick question? Too dammm easy.. Gotta be the guy who wants $60m + per season with a no trade clause. Over rated is synonymous with overpaid.

And your last sentence applies to him perfectly. And for those of you still wondering…. DAK..

Emmitt Smith

That was during the time Romo had horrific protection, where the defenders were in the backfield at the snap. He dumped to Witten short because he had no choice.

You do know that receivers run the predetermined routes, right? I mean, I have no idea why you'd want to proclaim he was 5 yds short when it was blatantly obvious he was running his route and Romo had no time to throw to the markers, right?

Witten was a great player & my favorite player early in his career. But later in his career it became pretty common for him to run routes short of the stick and be tackled promptly. It was because he could no longer move well enough to get open on his own but defenses were more than happy to let him curl short cause they knew he posed almost no threat of slipping the tackle and getting the first down. They could use other defenders to take away the other options.

And I had to laugh that alot on this site have the gull to say Romo is underrated. Must be Romosexuals.

Dez Bryant and i dont feel like it’s even close.

I disagree w/ your take.

Ironically the thread below was the last I posted in… how innocent we were back then

Witten was more than a little above average. He was a hell of a clutch receiving tight end and a very effective blocker. He wasn't the fastest tight ever on the field but he was very physical and could always get open and fight for the ball.

Troy Hambrick (sp). Ran Emmitt out of Dallas. He was horrible.

And nothing has changed since then except we all are more cinecal.

Dak elevates nothing but his bank account

This seems like a thread a rival team fan would start

true.. but If Troy Hambrick had 28 more yards that one year you’d be signing a different tune…

There’s something to be said for catharsis. Gotta laugh to keep from crying

 

[Mk2_Cowboys]

Dak and it’s not even close.
‘He’s a franchise stat machine QB that can never beat good teams no matter how stacked his team is. He’s the literal definition of over rated.

 

[cowboyfan4life2]

But Roy would thump you if you came his way until he got married that is and it changed him.

I guess marrying Beyonces friend can change a man.

Who is the most over rated player in Dallas Cowboys history​

Probably a player that played in the social media era…so no real reason to say ‘in Cowboys history’

I’d put Zeke. Well worth the hype his rookie season and maybe a couple more but the entire body of work wasn’t that great over his career.
