Lets try the opposite of chest thumping.
Name your three favorite Cowboys that even you have to admit just were not that good.
Let me be clear about what I'm asking for.
-You really liked this player. That is, if he could come back and play today you would still find yourself wanting to watch that player play.
-But, if you take an honest look at that players talents you would have to admit that he wasn't as good as some other Cowboys players you have had as your favorites over the years.
-So, your 3 favorite players, ranked from the worst talented up two spots.
Here are mine:
1. Gary Hogeboom - Yep, I was a big Hogeboom fan. Wanted Danny benched at the time. But when a guy only starts 1 year (1984), and doesn't finish the year as the starter, then goes to other teams and starts part time for the Cardinals and Colts, you just gotta admit he wasn't that good.
2. Drew Henson - I hate to rank him second because he is such an obvious choice, and even I am sick of talking/hearing about him. But I gotta admit that at the time we got him from the Texans I was hoping for a new franchise QB. I'm a QB pedigree believer too (I think Hostile was the one who said he is), and so Romo was off my radar at the time. As much as I wanted the guy to succeed, his opportunities with teams after the Cowboys all working out the same way, even when some of those coaches had associations with his family, says he just couldn't cut it.
3. Doug Dennison - I know this is a strange choice, but for some reason I always liked to watch Dennison run the football. He really had zero elusiveness, and was a 3 yards and cloud of dust kind of tailback. He started one year and gained a little over 500 yards I think.
