Jerry gives insight on 2016 offseason thinks McFadden can be lead back

[RS12]

As far as the current squad goes, Jones likes where the 'Boys are heading. Most notably at the running back position, Jones believes McFadden can be the lead back next season.

"I don't think you take any player and preclude adding another player with him or behind him. We're going to use him just like we used him this year," Jones said. "And hopefully we'll have him earlier and won't have to be as conservative with him worried about some injury, a little soft tissue area that he had out of camp, hopefully we won't have to walk on egg shells, but have him like we're using him now. And certainly we'll want to have other backs, we'll have (Lance) Dunbar back, but we'll want to have other backs that play a role."

I don't like his thinking.

Find a lead back and use McFadden in relief.

That makes one of us.

Sounds like draft talk to me, wouldn't pay much attention to what Jerry says between now and the draft about personnel.

Concerning Dunbar, I think we go younger and cheaper which likely puts Dunbar on the street.

Business has been good this season I take it.

If the choices are get more explosive at WR or get more explosive at RB I'll take the receiving help and I'm more than fine with McFadden, Turbin, Dunbar, and a day three pick at RB.

You guys buying that garbage? Smoke screen fellas. We're months from the draft. So much is gonna change.

Chill.

Dunbar is a free agent coming off an injury. Don't think Jerry should be counting on him, plus like many said, same type of back as McFadden.

Would like to see a young workhorse, maybe even free agent Doug Martin, with McFadden as the third down/versatile back.

It doesn't have to be a choice. They can do both. Draft and FA.

Hey Everybody!

Let's overreact to a throwaway comment Jerry makes in December!

 

[AzCowboysFan]

McFadden is our lead back and Romo has another 5 years. Cowboys dynasty firmly in place!

 

[Nightman]

This 2015 McFadden is as good as gets and probably will never be this good again.

But let's settle for mediocrity so Jerry Duke(Trading Places) can win a $1 bet that anyone can run behind this line.
