That Eddie George signing drove me nuts. He was obviously finished long before he ever put on a Cowboys' uniform. His yards per carry was 3.4 or lower in each of the three previous seasons, and he was never a receiving threat. He had only reached 1000 yards because they kept feeding him the ball. Running backs who get 310+ carries should never be barely clearing 1000 yards. Or more precisely, RBs who need 310 carries to get to 1000 yards shouldn't be getting anywhere near that many carries.
Well it was clear Julius Jones was the best option that season which also brings back terrible memories of passing on Steven Jackson in the draft. Didn't have major issues in bringing in George but it was clear he wouldn't be a big impact player so hard for me to say he's a bust.
