Nothing to discuss, you hate him, so I won't try to convince you otherwise.
But glad you stated that, instead of some of the crap people posts.

I was just getting the ball rolling

To stay on topic, I also hate Michael Hill and Ben Malena

Not advocating either one right now all that much, but I think Chris Johnson has even been more production and doesn't have the domestic abuse baggage. Even is most recent year was better than Rice's if we are comparing.

I agree prolly signs with cards, waiting on teams like us probably to see what they offer but we keep signing these other backs.

Yes, labeling the other side as nothing but "haters" really really contributes to an intellectual discussion.

HATER! HATER!

No reason to discuss further. That would require complex thought and not simplistic childlike labeling.

:D
Really now....so resort to insults huh?

Is labeling someone a "hater" not the same thing?

Play the victim if you want, but seriously, when I see "hater" thrown out there, that basically means the opposite side has no interest in discussing the issues and they want to turn the debate into something that a child would probably relate to.

CJ is so far from a proven commodity at this point that signing him would do nothing in terms of swallowing one's pride.

we ll have to see. Im not saying Dallas is completely wrong, but they are waging a huge bet. To me, whats left to sign, CJ is at least capable. I never thought we were getting AP. Im not against Ray Rice, but thats a PR nightmare. (and personal around here i see). I dont believe we trade for one. So out of whos left, CJ to me, makes sense.

Now can we roll the dice on what we have, sure, but here are the facts, 2 of those running backs are known for being injured, and thats going to come up far more than any of them going injury free. (please dont start the freak injuries or the mere fact anyone can be injured, just going off those personal histories).

Other than that, and our window for winning the SB after this season, a lot rests on what happens or how they handle post Romo, hes going to be another year old, and another year battered. A big portion of our wins come from that guy alone.

Malena has some wheels on him. I was pulling for him to make the team last year to use him on special teams. I hope he shows us something

To do this admits you were wrong. Its great you want to solve the problem, but dont humiliate yourself further. Put the call into CJ, swallow your pride, admit you screwed up, cut Dunbar and add Gus Johnson, and either cur McFadden or find a brusing back and go with Randle, CJ Gus and a big guy.

You do realize this is 2015 right, not 2010?

Ben Malena was a scrappy player. Liked him last season.

People can settle down about running backs anytime now. We're going to be ok.

I don't know if anyone remembers but I was pulling for Malena pretty hard last pre-season (ie pet cat).

I'm glad they brought him back even if it is more than likely that it is very temporary.

He has a small frame but a huge heart.

I'm a fan of Malena. I wanted him to make the 53 last year.

He's a bowling ball style runner. Reminds me of Maurice Jones-Drew.

I'd love to see him absolutely kill it throughout the preseason.
