[Twyst]

Just throwing this out there, but reports say deuce mccallister is on the block after this year which seems crazy to me.

Love Deuce, but weary of trading for older backs. (I know hes not that old, but in RB years......)

Second, who is Peterson for the Browns?

Im guessing he meant Vikings.

Or believes his mock that had Adrian going to the Browns is what really happend

That doesn't sound crazy to me. Reggie Bush is the Saints RB of the future and your team just drafted Antonio Pittman to be his compliment. If Pittman turns out to be a serviceable change of pace, sohrt yardage back, then it makes perfect business sense to trade McCallister while he still has value.

Yes, I mean't Vikings. :doh:

Is there a link somewhere in that it states McFadden is going to come in and succeed in the NF of L? Is the cart before the horses or vice-a-versa, I forgot.

 

[YosemiteSam]

Wow. Just wow. Once again, it's nyc proving his genius...

What ever you say Paris.

Ok, since we don't have much else to talk about, I want to present this scenario. This is Jones' contract year, and he appears to have a huge chip on his shoulder to prove himself. So let us assume that Jones has a breakout season and rushes for 1,600+ yards, while Barber maintains his average of about 600 yards per season. I believe it is safe to assume that McFadden is a better RB than Barber. So if Arkansas RB McFadden is available when the Cowboys pick next year, wouldn't it be wiser for the Cowboys to trade Barber for maybe a 3rd or 4th and grab McFadden while keeping Julius Jones?

IF JuJo has the type of season you speculate, then I would trade HIM if Jerry & Co. really wanted McFadden (and has a guaranteed shot at him in the draft). We could get a higher draft choice (maybe a 1st rounder in 2009?) for JuJo than we could for MB3.....

Again, you can't trade a free agent.

I still get the point in trading proven NFL backs, for someone who "might" come in and do something. Reality of the situation is, we are not Ark. We dont run there offense, we are not a college team, we dont play college teams.
If JJ has a great year, and we let him walk to get Mcfadden, and he flames out while JJ continue to produce, everyone thats riding Mcfaddens jock, will be talking about how stupid JJ was, and sending thousands of hate mails, telling him how stupid he is.

NFL proven backs >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.. college stars

every day, every single got dang day. And you can't change that.

So you're saying to sign JJ to a deal, then trade him? because you do understand that you can't trade a free agent right?

 

[RealCowboyfan]

Trade Barber?

Not

I have ALL the confidence in Jerry to get JuJo signed IF he has a big year. Then, they'll have a tough choice to make. Take a chance on an unproven, potentially franchise-type back or keep JuJo. Either way, it's a win-win situation for the 'Boys. We keep JuJo and use our 1st rounders somewhere else or trade JuJo (which could net us a high draft choice if he has a big year) & draft McFadden. I don't see us losing in these scenarios.....

First of all Julius sucks and that would never happen.

Second of all Barber is a RFA next year and the best we can do is slap a 2nd round tag or a 7th round tag on him. Its impossibel to trade him for a 3rd because of his RFA status.

And this coming from the guy with Barber in his Sig.

So you're saying, to sign JJ and then trade him? to draft another RB, that may be something in the NFL?

Does that really make sense to you?

 

[jackrussell]

It'd be tough for a robot to run for 1600 yards.

Actually, YES. It makes LESS sense to lose JuJo for nothing. IF Jerry & Co. decided that they really wanted McFadden BUT did not want to lose JuJo for nothing, how else would they make it work? They have to sign JuJo (since he'll be an URFA) and the Browns have to do their part for all this to work out. It makes perfect sense.....

 

[LowTech]

If Julius has a great year.....slap the franchise tag on him and draft McFadden

 

[glassjaw]

Exactly, IF JuJo has a big year then why not keep him? He would have proven that he can do it in the NFL.

Anyway, I realize that McFadden has taken over the psyches of some and he can do no wrong...for now.

I suppose if Julius has a really good year Jerry could franchise him and try to work a trade that way, but Julius would really have to tear it up to be worth that to the Cowboys or other teams for that matter.

Then we would be called the Dallas Commanders! :bang2: :bang2: :bang2:
