How would you feel if we acquired Brandon Marshall?

[dewby]

There are all kinds of rumors and reports out there about his conduct.... he is named "Baby TO", after all. Now, I can see where you're all coming from when saying you don't want to deal with another player like that... but come on. He's not anything close to what TO has been, TO has singlehandedly torn teams apart. What has Brandon done? All I've heard from him is that he's talked back from time to time, and complained about a few things. But when it really comes down to it, do you see him *****ing and moaning and screaming at people on the sideline? Do you see him running to the center of the field to plant the football on the Cowboy star post-touchdown? No, all in all, he's shut up and simply produced. More-so than I thought after all of the offseason hype last year about his delinquency.

Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but how could we not want him? He had 22 catches in one game last season.... one game. Not only that, he's had 3 consecutive seasons with 100 catches. Now, I might be a little upset if we traded our first round pick for him, but honestly, I don't think there's much we couldn't do without if we gave it up, reason being we have no glaring needs, so if we can use our first round pick, something fairly irrelevant, to get Marshall why wouldn't we? The safeties we want and could take that will be productive outside of Thomas will be there, IE. Allen and Burnett. There are quiet prospects at OT and ILB that will be productive taken out of the 4th and 5th rounds.

All I'm saying, is I can't even imagine a duo of Austin and Marshall, complimented by people like Ogletree and Hurd (yes, Crayton can leave). They're both young and could become one of the longtime dominant WR duos in the league. As a matter of fact, they would.

I'm in the minority but for the right price I would be happier then Andy Reid at a 24/7 buffett.

 

[Coakleys Dad]

Brandon Marshall will not be a cowboy. There is no way.

 

[MONT17]

Is Ed "too tall" jones too tall?



I say keep trading for WRs until Jerry gets it right!

 

[dewby]

Just a thought. I heard somewhere Jerry was actually looking into it.

 

[Hostile]

Just a thought. I heard somewhere Jerry was actually looking into it.

I would feel like I stepped into an alternate universe because I know for a fact that as of last night when I was told by someone at VR that the Cowboys are not interested in him.

 

[dewby]

Ah. Well, so much for that. Shipley will do fine too.

 

[masomenos]

Ah. Well, so much for that. Shipley will do fine too.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Shipley has almost no shot at being a Dallas Cowboy.

 

[viman96]

After signing Austin, I think the team will have spent enough big money on WRs. The OL and S positions need to be addressed first. Marshall does not take this team to the next level.

Totally buying this, I dont see them being interested either.

And I'm glad. We dont need another headcase who isnt totally committed to winning. We dumped a bunch of guys just like this not too long ago. I dont know why this is such a hard concept for some to grasp.

I dont thinks hes comin either, but not because someone at valley ranch said he wasnt coming. Ive heard stuff straight from Jerrys mouth that was the furthest thing from what he intended to do in the first place.

PS...just for entertainment HOS....would you be mad if he did end up on the team opposite do Austin? Just a hypothetical.

You think we would have all learned by now that production does not outweigh being a knucklehead.

This guy was trouble coming out of college, has been trouble with the Broncos and will be trouble wherever he goes. We showed in 2008 that we don't handle trouble well, and we don't need another round of it.

 

[panchucko]

I say bring him in.

 

[Bleu Star]

I would get out and do infinite sit ups in my driveway.

 

[Coakleys Dad]

I say bring him in.

to do what? bring another malcontent into the locker room just as we have turned the corner in that aspect. smart. I dont care if hes talented or not.

[Screw The Hall]

I'd be sick to my stomach. No more headcases please, especially those of the monumental variety.

 

[Gzus]

I'd be conflicted....

I would love to have another playmaker

I would hate that the Boys went against their previously established rhetoric of cleaning up the locker room

I think I'd be more happy than disappointed tho.

Here's a little light reading for those who think Dallas should trade for Marshall, and it doesn't include his problems with the team, such as being suspended in the preseason and regular season last year:

According to Orlando-Orange County public records (case 48-2004-MM-012392-O), on Halloween 2004, while a student at UCF, Marshall was arrested in Orlando on charges of assault on a law enforcement officer, refusal to obey, disorderly conduct and resisting an officer.[54]
On January 1, 2007, Marshall was present at "The Shelter," a nightclub in Denver, Colorado, along with teammates Javon Walker and Darrent Williams. The trio was attending a birthday party held for and by Denver Nuggets forward Kenyon Martin. As the players were leaving the club in a limousine, Williams was fatally shot in the neck after an unknown assailant opened fire on the vehicle. Willie Clark was later charged with the murder.[55] Walker has stated in interviews that the shooter was likely a nightclub patron whose motive was retaliation after being involved in an altercation with Marshall's cousin earlier that night.[56]
On March 26, 2007, Marshall was arrested in the Highlands Ranch suburb of Denver on suspicion of domestic violence after his girlfriend reported that following a domestic dispute, Marshall prevented a taxi she was in from leaving his house.[57] Charges from the incident were later dismissed on May 25, 2007, after Marshall completed anger management counseling.[58]
In the early morning of October 22, 2007, Marshall was arrested in the Denver-Aurora metropolitan area at the intersection of 14th and Blake St. for driving under the influence of alcohol.[59] A trial was scheduled for September 16, but Marshall instead agreed to a plea bargain four days earlier; he pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of driving while ability impaired.[60] He was sentenced to one-year probation and 24 hours of community service.
On June 12, 2008, Marshall was ticketed for an illegal lane change, then found to be without his license and proof of insurance.[61] The case was eventually dropped as part of a plea bargain for the October 22, 2007 driving incident involving alcohol.[60]
According to an article published in the Rocky Mountain News on July 28, 2008, Douglas County deputies fielded "about 11" calls to Marshall's home since January 2006. The article stated that one call resulted in Marshall being arrested (the March 26, 2007 domestic dispute), and some did not involve him at all.[62]
A September 17, 2008 article on CompleteColorado.com stated that the solicitor's office in Fulton County, Georgia filed misdemeanor battery charges on September 10 for an alleged incident on March 4, 2008, in Atlanta, Georgia. Marshall was booked on March 6, then released the next day after posting a $1,000 cash bond.[63] The case was assigned to Judge John Mather in Georgia state court.[64] On August 14, 2009, a jury in Atlanta found Marshall not guilty.[65]
On March 1, 2009, Marshall was arrested in Atlanta for disorderly conduct after allegedly being involved in a fight with his fiancee, Michi Nogami-Campbell. Marshall was released on a $300 bond.[66] The charges were dropped the following day.[67]
