Did we almost have Thomas Rawls?

Stealing an old ladies purse........? Who does that? I mean, its one thing to shoot up some rivals of yours. Even steal from department stores and what not.



But an old lady????????????? Thats like the new "knock out" game these little ball of wonders are playing....

Thats just.................foul; were a long way from Kanas toto...

I read up on him when it was reported the Cowboys signed him. Sounds like he was at a diner at a casino and he and his buddys saw a purse lying on a chair with no one around.

That's why he probably went elsewhere. We had too much talent at the time with Randle, McFadden and Dunbar.

Sarcasm?

Obviously not the sharpest tool in the shed. It doesn't take a whole lot of TV viewing to understand that everything in a casino is captured on camera.

Ohhh.......I had a mental picture of him grabbing it from some old lady.

okay, thats different. they found it. And just kept it................wrong. But.....totally different. Thanks for that tidbit of info.

There should be no excuse for us not to have drafted a running back. This was one of the deepest drafts for runningbacks and we needed a replacement for Murray.

It might have been a different story if we drafted one and didn't have to rely on Randle. This entire season might have been what we all expected it to be.

Really, the whole season and not drafting a running back gets a pass since Romo got injured.
A running back wasn't going to help us sans Romo, even if we would have taken Melvin Gordon or Todd Gurley. Look at the Rams. Without a deceit quarterback, they've been dropping games. And they've got one of the better defenses in the league.

But help is on the way. We'll be in position to get Ezekiel Elliott or Derrick Henry - both of whom I think will be good fits for this offense.

Hindsight aye?

Hind sight? I've stuck with the same opinions about how we did things even before the start of the season - and got ridiculed for it. Never liked Randle especially when he threw Bryant under the bus. It was my feelings all along - not hind sight.

Took less money to sign with Seattle

Is even more shocking because:

How you could look at the Seahawks with Lynch, Micheal, and Turbin and think he had a better shot there than here is mind boggling. Especially when you consider our history with UDFA....

He probably saw Seattle as a faster path to getting on the field with two 30+ backs on the roster, and he was likely right.

 

[Galian Beast]

Rawls will be the starter next season, and Beast Mode will be a Cowboy. Mark my words.

He was given 12 million guaranteed

They had zero guys 30+ at the time. Lynch is 28 and had a new deal. Jackson wasn't on the roster.

ok I stand corrected I read here everyday and I see a lot of hindsight statements on here but I stand correct of ur belief was what it was from the get go

We should have just drafted him. Instead we traded a draft pick for another TE that will probably never see the light of day on game day.

We wasted almost half the season on Randle. Instead we could have had a running back like Rawls right now.

see the other posters. he had lots of red flags. so 32 teams past on him 7 times. his record was worse than randle. so now everyone wants to pick him. if we picked him, everyone would complain why are we picking risky characters.

Using a low round pick on him would not be risky. Heck we traded for a TE that will never see playing time. If you want to spend a risky pick what better way than a low round pick.

Fact is that the Cowboys wanted him. They needed to draft a back to take the place of Murray.

But why did we wait till free agency rounds to finally offer him something?

We've been wasting our low round picks on useless projects. I don't see what would be wrong to use a low round pick on him.

 

[cowboyschmps3]

I remember checking after the draft and his guy appeared to have agreed then spending about him going to Seattle instead so we went with the guy from Georgia Tech.

He also could have spent 30 seconds on Youtube and seen the holes our OL opened for DeMarco last year.
