I'm furious at coaches and scouts who were clearly afraid to challenge the notion that Joseph Randle was some budding superstar the Cowboys had discovered in 2013 and were waiting to unleash upon the NFL. These jokers were on the sidelines looking at Randle going "Shhh" to the cameras.
They wasted an offseason when we could have had Michael (or any legit back) in OTAs, TC, and preseason and figured out whether he was going to contribute or not.
Instead we get Darren McHamstring and end up with two backups who can't convert a 3rd and 1 short of superhuman blocking, struggle through the offseason and make a last-ditch trade for Michael.
You should always hedge your bets when you don't have a strong option, but instead they pandered to Jerry's ego (draft "steal" + former Razerback).
