Cowboys Made a HUGE Mistake...

[adallastiger]

by not drafting DeAngelo Williams when they had the chance. As another year or two goes by, this will be noticed...though I agree Felix Jones may be a solid keeper.

But you don't pass up someone with D's college numbers...ever.

Then wouldn't we have not had Barber? Plus it's not like Felix was showing that he sucks before he was hurt and Choice doesn't seem to be too awful himself.

Williams is a very good player so is Felix Jones and I think Jones will be a very good player for us for a long time.

Kevin Smith had one of the greatest rushing seasons in the history of the NCAA last year, but they passed on him as well.

Nice first post.

what year was he drafted again? i don't remember exactly, but i think that was a year when we thought the Julius-Barbarian combo was what we needed? i don't think we saw the "robot" runner emerge until that year.

and we can say a lot of things in hindsight about the draft, like we could've had so-and-so instead of Barbie and whatever, but there's just as many bad ones that we could've ended up with instead of studs. like what if we had decided to pass on Barber b/c we thought Julius was good enough, or passed on Ratliff for someone, etc?

better to focus on what we have and what we need to do to get better, otherwise you'll cause yourself unnecessary stress.

Running backs are a dime a dozen.

Unless DeAngelo Williams becomes the next Emmitt Smith, passing him up isn't a loss in any way.

Besides, if Felix isn't hurt, we're not even having this discussion.

I think with the performance of Choice yesterday, we are pretty darn solid without Williams.
Don't get me wrong, I think Williams is an excellent back and has been the best performer on my fantasy teams. I am pretty satisfied with the backs Dallas has

 

[InDakWeTrust]

RB's nowadays are not the game dominators that they once were, the Peterson's, Tomlinson's and Portis' are few and far in between, good scouting now can turn a mid round pick into a 1000 yard rusher, Williams is good, but he is not an everydown back.

Williams is a very good player so is Felix Jones and I think Jones will be a very good player for us for a long time.

I worry now that Jones will never be the player he once was because of the toe injury. These types of injuries have derailed many players over the years. If Felix loses his explosiveness he becomes just antother Tyson Thompson type. I hope I'm wrong but I am worried about it.

Doctors feel good about Jones chances. Not every injury is exactly the same because the overall damage is not always the same. It was a good think Felix did not try to play on the injury as many have only to do more damage to the already injured toe

Ron Dayne, imo.

Sorry if that doesn't apply. You weren't very specific.

Isn't this like a REALLY old thread?

 

[Hostile]

You can either accept the 2006 Draft and move on, or react to this...

In which case you need this...

if you think DeAngelo Williams is not an every down back.

You made a HUGE mistake be starting this thread. It is pointless.

There's nothing to cry or complain about. Deangelo Williams? Are you kidding? What exactly has anyone seen to suggest RB is our problem?

 

[Yeagermeister]

I'm as big a DeAngelo fan as there is. He went to my school but I wouldn't trade Barber for him.
