Cowboys sign Darren McFadden - 2yr deal worth up to $5.85m (200k bonus)

[Alexander]

Always hurt. No more burst. Bottom of the barrel stuff. Pathetic.

Everyone here thought this guy sucked - so we still agree with that correct?

Can't function in a zone scheme, failed at it miserably in Oakland. This is absolutely idiotic.

 

[Aven8]

This dudes legs are like toothpicks.

I'm almost to the point in dangling out the two first for Dez and go rebuild mode at this point.

 

[superonyx]

He is an older injured version of randle. How is this helping us in any way?

I use to watch his stats line each week. I got tired of seeing 20 carries for 52 yards so I stopped looking.

Is this like jerry hiring Switzer just to prove a point.

 

[WV Cowboy]

In 7 seasons, .. he only had 1,038 carries and 211 receptions ??

Is that right?

 

[ChronicCowboy]

Good signing. Vet prescence that can start until a rookie is ready.

 

[DFWJC]

Completion for three spots and he's one of the 5-6 that will try to make it.

[khiladi]

He looked terrible for the who? Ya, precisely. This is the signing that shows the FO and coaching staff is very confident in our line

He didn't perform well when they got Pollack and went to a zone scheme. He went from 5 YPC to around 3 YPC. Pollack got fired from the Raiders after a couple of those years. This is interesting to me, because Pollack is now the main OL coach and in charge of the running schemes.

 

[Staubacher]

Pretty much. Some just complain no matter what, need attention or something.

I just think the hurt over losing Murray has to die down. Lots of people in storm-the-castle mode over a guy who fumbled in the clutch and won't sniff 1,800 yards ever again.

 

[Doomsday101]

I would think this will be a low end contract. I'm glad it says pending physical.

 

[Section446]

Madness.

 

[dbonham]

This is just Jerry's consolation prize for being a good boy during negotiations with Murray

 

[mugsybows]

I feel like because of one year we are being disillusioned that we can just plug anyone in and that person will be a stud. Playing with fire

 

[The Quest for Six]

He just brought in as insurance for whoever they draft this year....

 

[wilfred]

Let em' Hate McFadden!! Welcome Home

Great point.

Many seem to refuse that offensive line can have a great deal to do with how successful a running back is.

 

[locked&loaded]

Obviously Mcfaaddens paltry 3.3 yards a carry for 3 straight years isnt going to be the reason we dont draft a runningback....so
Why waste the money?

also..Mcfadden, please fail the physical.

 

[mickswag]

Would have rather had Ridley.

 

[John813]

Well, we need insurance for our insurance.

 

[CWR]

Classic.

Haha nice. People on here over react like a bunch of teenage girls.
