If Thomas Rawls signed with us.

D-Law, Gregory, and Hardy kept their head on straight.

Brent didn't retire and Holloman didn't get hurt.

I know I'm reaching a bit but we've had some bad luck recently that has cost us some flexibility in the draft. Particularly Rawls shunning us.

That isn't bad luck. It's gambling. We came up snake eyes.

We just should have drafted him in the later rounds. FO believed anyone could run behind this oline and it bit them in the butt.

We should not have gotten cute and instead did the right thing.

Hicks, from UT crushed his shoulder (I thought you loved UT).

And we should have franchised Murray on a 1 year rental, and signed Dez. Huge mistake!

I agree totally on this. and signed dez early so he had a full camp.

Well, this is one of the strangest Butterfly Effect threads I have ever seen.

If we had just got Thomas Rawls.

From what I gathered, 187's aunt has a scrotum, or is that his uncle that has a scrotum? I'm still trying to figure that one out. Oh, and Zordon is a UT alum. Now is that Tennessee or Texas?

So confused right now. I need to go lay down.

He would have never gotten a chance, we have something against giving rookies any real playing time, unless they're first rounders.

Rawls still has a great chance to turn out like Julious Jones or Felix Jones or Marion Barber. Jury is still out on him.

Why did we think we had Rawls committed to signing with us just to have Seattle take him from us?

Stephen Jones is why.

Rawls probably got offered a little more and also saw that Seattle is a team willing to pay RB's based on Lynch.

There have been too many of these "unlucky" misses in the last few years.
Eric Weddle was another guy we thought we had and now he will be a probowl safety for the Ravens.
Plus all the backs that just didn't fall our way in the last draft.

The word is out on us.
Players and agents know not to deal with Dallas because Stephen Boy Wonder Jones is still trying to prove to the other owners how smart he is.

I doubt he would have seen the field or got the ball honestly as an undrafted rookie

Good teams make their own luck. I am not having this argument. This team put itself behind the ball and relied on long shots and lost causes.

Tooting my own horn...but I was calling him a good sleeper to take a chance on but he did have a lot of red flag issues.

Part that kills me was the idea that we went all that way without taking a RB, we knew we wanted him as an undrafted rookie...yet we trade back into the last round to get Rawls...oops I mean Swaim....SWAIM.

Why not just take the chance on getting Rawls with that 7th pick. It would have been worth the gamble.

Oh well...spilled milk.

Dez would be playing somewhere else if that was the case

the forum would be empty. No Zeke threads

What? That's hilarious! If we would have had the undrafted FA Rawls last year as a RB and this year, we wouldn't need the reincarnation of Jim Brown/Gayle Sayers/Earl Campbell/Emmitt Smith/Adrian Peterson that is Ezekiel Elliott this year?:D

All those pimping Ezekiel this year are not going to like the truth you speak:muttley:
