Dak, Tom Brady, and Russell Wilson are perfect examples that even the best talent evaluators can be WAY off.

Also I believe it's Pearlmans book, Boys will be Boys where he talks about how Jimmy wasn't sold on Troy and preferred Walsh, and how he also almost traded away Irvin after his knee injury.
I think Jerry was a defensive coach, and he knew what he wanted on defense and what he saw in players. Offensively I don't think he was as good of a talent evaluator. Wasn't his wheelhouse.

Wasn't Irvin's knee injury during his rookie year when Landry was still the coach?

I really don't think he had doubts about Aikman, but I do agree with what you said about he only drafted him to trade him.
I remember Jimmy commenting publicly when they made the move that after studying the NFL and talking to a number of really good coaches, that he learned then that you HAD to have a QB. He wanted to cover his bases and figured having two guys increased his odds of hitting on the position.
I don't think there was any doubt after training camp that first year who the real talent was at the position and who was clearly a guy who gravy trained off the backs of a great team at Miami.

He also injured his knee towards the end of his rookie year.
What a waste of space that guy was.

I finally watched this last night. Really reminded me how great Troy was, both as a physical talent and as a leader. Not that I ever doubted it, but a reminder never hurts.
Also shows such a stark contrast between those Jimmy days and this shitshow Garrett and Jerry preside over. Makes me sick. Jerry's fucking little salesman wink when talking about Barry's soft practices made me rage.
We may finally win a Superbowl off sheer luck in finally drafting well enough to amass the talent that can overcome our shit management. Maybe that happens after 20 years of trying. But it won't be because this organization is run or head coached worth a damn.

Not to hijack this thread but....
This team isn't winning a Super Bowl anytime soon.
This season is going to end in tragically disappointing fashion.
