Paul Krueger over Spencer?

[MonsterD]

I think he is at least as good as Spencer and would have cost about 9-10 annually. I actually think he might be better than Spencer eventually. I really hope Spencer does not cost anything close to him.

Buddy, the thing is you know 100% with the franchise tag, Anthony Spencer is staying here. The Cowboys would have had to get in a bidding war for Krueger, plus right now with the tag, Spencer isn't affecting future $ when it comes to extending players like Romo/Dez/Lee/Carter. So you put a band-aid at the DE position for at least a year & get to concentrate on S/DT/OG/RT maybe unless they are successful with the Parnell project.

He's started a whopping 7 games in four years. Still hasn't hit double digits with 9 last season. Do you feel lucky? Because that would be a gamble.

Read speculation he would get in the 9 mill a year range. I'd rather draft his brother in the 6th.

Actually, no. There's a fair chance that now that he's franchised, Dallas could work a trade.

Regardless though why would you gamble and possibly miss out on a inferior player in Krueger over franchising Spencer? It makes no sense.

Can I get the numbers to the Powerball lottery while you're at it? 100% is pretty certain. You must have amazing powers.

Watch the Super Bowl. Look to see who plays more against the run. You'll notice Upshaw in there a lot more than Kruger. Although Kruger can push the pocket, he isn't near the solid complete player Spencer is.

I would love to get a 2 for him, as it would go a long way to building this team into a contender year in year out, but I don't believe we will get that type of offer, that's why I typed not gonna happen.

agreed. kruger is solely a rusher. doesn't offer much in the run game

I can't imagine paying Kruger 9mil a year is smarter than franchising spencer at this point. If Kruger hits the market then we have to overpay and it would be long term.

Franchising Spencer gives us 1 year of premium pay, and tons of flexibility to make other moves short term and long term.

I think he is going to end up a second maybe third round guy.

People on this board don't like Spencer because he's "only had one good year."

I looked up the phrase "one good year" in the dictionary. Staring at me was a picture of Paul Kruger
