At the time, some idiots like Lou Holtz were ridiculing Johnson for picking Aikman over Tony Mandarich. Also, Sport magazine ran a horrendous hit job on Aikman and the Cowboys that draft, and said "Tim Rossenbach and Rodney Peete will both be better than Troy Aikman, YOU'LL SEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

LOL. Voted for Obama and Hillary I bet.

You said Brandt deserved credit for picking Aikman:

Trade idea of the day by IdiotZone- D Law for Josh Rosen. Yes, there's a thread.

I'd much prefer Earl Thomas over Landon Collins anyway. Collins is lousy in coverage and we don't need anymore safeties who are lousy in coverage.

I think Xavier Woods isn't the guy a new safety would be replacing.

People are so utterly stupid when it comes to the draft pick thing. It takes us years to find good players, we get some, then clowns want to trade them for draft picks that may very well turn into guys like Bobby Carpenter and Morris Claiborne

Once upon a time in the 90's after Jimmy left Jerry drafted Larry Allen, Randall Godfrey and a few others. It doesn't forgive his monumental failure as a GM from 94-2001 (especially those years) because the blind squirrel found a nut. Brandt was THE cutting edge draft guru from 61-77, but after...

Again ass-hat, Jimmy made up his own mind. If for whatever reason Jimmy would have woke up and been an idiot and not picked Aikman, it would have been HIS decision. He didn't pick Aikman because of Gil Brandt. So no dipshit, Gil Brandt does not get credit for drafting Aikman.

They don't discredit what he did, but he was a massive failure as someone who ran the draft during the 78-87 time period.

Good grief

LOL, a true classic. This was from after the Redskins game Romo blew.

Now you see why people like Ted Kennedy and Pocahontas Warren can get elected over and over and over in a place like that

Wonder what the grades say if you include 2014

Jimmy Johnson and Jerry Jones made up their own minds to take Aikman. Jimmy ran EVERYTHING and made every single one of those picks in 1989, not Brandt.

You are misunderstanding what I am saying. He absolutely should be in the HoF and he absolutely developed what real "scouting" was all about. He and Landry built those overwhelming Dallas teams truly from scratch. Deserves all the credit in the world for unbelievable success throough drafts...

Zoners be like- "Lawrence has ref flags and issues, and he is overrated anyway" "lets just take those picks from someone, get two firsts for him and be done"

LOL, Brandt gets credit for drafting Aikman now? Again, go back and look at some draft history. His drafting from 78-87 was absolutely atrocious, and he wasted dozens upon dozens of picks.

Hey genius, go back and show me all the great players Brandt drafted from 1978-1987. His drafts in those years were so bad even drunken GM Jerry would have been envious. And dude, it's a TON of fucking picks.
