Folks I am going on Record right now!...Darren McFadden

[CrazyCowboy]

I sure do like DMAC.....alot

I know I'll be in the minority, but I really hope Dallas doesn't use a top ten pick on McFadden or any running back for that matter.

If the goal is to win a Super Bowl, history's shown that top ten running backs are not the way to go. With the exception of Jamal Lewis, who had the benefit of that tremendous defense, top running backs don't win in the salary cap era.


Even a great running back isn't worth the cap dollars that a top pick commands. The talent difference between the really great ones like say Tomlinson and the merely adequate ones like the Jones/Barber combo isn't large enough to justify the cap consequences. That's why the Chiefs are hinting of moving Larry Johnson.

If Dallas lands a top five pick from Cleveland, I hope they either go with a position where the talent gap justifies the cap gap like CB or even possibly edge rusher, or they trade down.

Again, I realize that with Dallas' history of upper echelon RBs it won't go over well, but in the end people just have to look at which RBs have won the Super Bowl in the cap era to realize that paying premium dollar for one isn't the best idea.

DMAC has been quoted(since the draft) that he wants to play close to home (Arkansas)...I hope he gets his wish and goes to the Cowboys!!

The first words out of my mouth when the trade happened were "Darren McFadden in 2008!"

But people wont listen, with guys like Witten, Romo, Glenn, Owens, Barber, Jones, Crayton, on the offense, you would think they would be satisfied.

I am an Arky fan just trying to supply the wonder that Darren is

He does not happen everyday.

thats what they said about bush, and LT, and Preist, and LJ.

It gets tiring hearing that almost every year.

You know, people have the right to like a player. Every year people have players they like in College and they want to see play for their favorite pro team as well. Does this mean that they should stop hoping their favorite team will land them just because there is a chance that they might not be able to? I liked Matt Jones and I wanted to see him as a Cowboy, but I didn't whine and moan when the Boys didn't get him, but I also still support him as a player on another team, just not when he's playing the boys. What is truly sad is the fact you felt the need to talk out of your butt. We're fans and as fans we want our team to land players we think are great, is this a crime to you?

You mean like people drooling over Julius Jones' 2004-potential in an excuse-riddled-drool-fest every offseason? I agree. It's sickening.

It shouldn't be a link to anything, lol. I must have screwed up, because I can see the image. Mebbe I'll go back and edit that.

No, but it is a crime to act like this guy is God in a football suit

Yea it is, but at least he plays for the cowboys

As will whoever we decide to draft next year. Even if it IS McFadden - who is a rare talent, and certainly worthy of being drooled over.

 

[jobberone]

I wouldn't get too passionate about McFadden. He may get injured, kicked outta school, not come out next year for many reasons, do poorly, show us holes, yada yada. But if you want to get passionate be my guest.

I would be very tempted to draft someone who could be another Dorsett. Could be. I'd be drawn to an OT too.

Who knows but it's fun to have an opinion and play with them here.

I could understand the drolling, if it was January, and we knew what was going down. But its May, can we just put a tap on the drooling for a a few months you know? I want to keep this land dry for at least 6 more months.
