No, Ruz. Dallas didn't draft another QB in 1989 (see the link above).
Mike Shanahan either (1) ruined the career of Kirk Cousins, (2)created a Schuler/Frerotte rivalry among two rookies that could detract from Griffin's development (his confidence could get DESTROYED if Cousins adapts faster to the offense), (3)wasted a pick on a Cousins, who will never play, instead of drafting needs elsewhere, or (4) Picked Cousins to trade him later--but not likely due to Cousins being "too good to pass up".
It was not a good decision to draft the Heisman winner and then draft another quarterback a day later.
You're wrong, and you're not listening. Steve Walsh was the first pick in the supplemental draft of 1989 - and the Cowboys gave up a 1st round pick on get him. There were 2 other players picked in that supplemental draft that teams used 1st rounders to get. And Walsh was a helluvalot higher profile player than Kirk Cousins. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_F ... ntal_Draft
I've already told you this isn't anything like the Heath/Gus situation for a number of reasons that I'm not going to repeat - cuz I don't have time to waste and it's there in my previous posts. There's no QB controversy, and Cousins isn't going to stunt RG3's development. And Cousins - being a 4th round pick... is going to get the snaps you would expect from a 4th round pick.
Edit - sorry if that sounded harsh. I was in a rush when I posted and didn't like being told I was wrong about something that I knew was true.
