Yep.. the only power any of us has is to not watch or go to the games. Jerry gonna do what he damn well pleases with his team. Frankly if I can swing it financially I am always going to go to at least one game every season. It's fun.. No not as much fun if my team sucks but still fun. I am going to watch every Sunday (Thrusday, Monday or Saturday) because that's what a fan does. Yes we can complain till the cows come home but ultimately, until about 100 million people turn their backs on the Cowboys, nothing is going to change in Jerry-land.

I agree and I'm OK with fans having suggestions or stating what they don't like, but here's the thing I don't want Mike McCarthy back ,but if we have him back, I would like him to not be the offensive coordinator...

The thing is if he is what am I going to do about it I'm a big time fan and I will be a fan next year with the same energy I have every year nobody should be making these conditions on how they're going to be a fan like if they don't do this they better do this if not then what exactly what they're going to watch less of the games or go to less of the games or not wear their jerseys anymore it doesn't that doesn't matter..

Jerry will always do Jerry things and most of us don't agree with half of the stuff he does but it's not going to change the way I'm a fan I'm never going to put conditions on whether I'm going to support the Cowboys or not I will always be a cowboy fan that is where the Dallas Cowboys fan for life thing comes from ,the ones that don't put conditions on how they're going to watch or support the team.....

I hope there is a lot of changes I would love to see it but if not it is what it is a new year New Hope same energy I'm going to be pulling for them hard right from game one..

you guys are over the top with your demands,

first of all you don't get to demand anything there is no better this and better that you have a choice you better find another team to support if you expect that... One new back would be great a fresh young stud from the draft is all we need ... you can literally work with Rico and possibly deuce next year if you have a young back with burst and long speed that's all you need you literally don't need 3 new backs on this team so you better go find somebody else to complain to because that's not happening, they're not cleaning house unless it seems necessary now if Rico demands more money than hes worth, yes if they decide deuce isn't worth the time sure there might be 3 new backs..

That word better makes me laugh you guys have no control nor you have any position of strength to be demanding anything all you can do is take your butt somewhere else and cheer for another team...

Watch other games, everybody has two backs better than anyone we have, it's pathetic.

I'm not saying he is the next Darren Sproles. But.....once it became a lost season, why wasnt this guy given more playing time? It makes no sense.

The other thing though is- I dont believe MM has enough creativity to put him in good spots. Same with Turpin.

This is my opinion:
Andy Reid gets a guy and he asks himself....what can we design and implement to get the best out of this player?
While MM is more like where does this player fit into my system?

People can dismiss him because of his size all they want and they may turn out to be right but Deuce is clearly the most talented RB on this roster. It is not close.

The only injury worry I would have on a guy with his guild would be hammies. He is wound VERY tight and given that he is likely going to spend his entire career being asked to some in cold off the sidelines I could see him pulling one every other season if he's in the regular rotation. He's a solid 175-180 on a 5'5" frame. If he were 6 inches taller that would be like 5'11" 235. The fact that people don't understand that never ceases to amaze me. That and the fact that Deuce has been the smallest guy on the field his entire life. He didn't just become small this past year. Dude knows how to play at his size. How to avoid big hits and how to fall to say nothing of how to get out of bounds and on the ground before the entire defense gets there. You learn these skills as a small guy when you're on the sandlot in elementary school.

I'm not anywhere near as well versed as you in the details, but what I did see was Deuce running effectively when the QB is under center. It was like a completely different player.

Well some suggestions or ideas it's OK some are wild where they use words like conditions like they have some kind of power literally the word better comes to mind like Rico dado had he been given the ball more than 10 * a game or less the first eight games of the season I imagine he had about 1300 yards this year easily I could see that if they made him the feature back early we wouldn't be saying we need 3 new running backs no what I saw is the offensive line was better they called more runs than they did at the beginning of the year they got more creative they used Turpin in the backfield more lately if they started the season like this I could only imagine we wouldn't be having these conversations about having no running backs we actually do have a decent rotation of running backs if they would have stuck to Rico as the primary and then work these backs in creatively like they have the last three or four games from day one...

Yes Siri made a monumental mistake in not picking up a young back in the draft last year and I imagine he won't make the same mistake twice because I don't remember a year he's done that 2015 he rolled with Darren McFadden which is a lot like what we did this year just went with some guys and then immediately picked up Ezekiel Elliott the next year they thought they could get away with it they didn't they see the error in their ways and I imagine they will go get a name in this draft and hopefully be able to keep Rico and in this case hopefully have a different offensive coordinator that knows how to be creative from game one game 17 it would be nice if all year he been doing all these like creative things on offense not when you're desperate this should be part of the game plan to have a killer instinct be aggressive and try to go out and win games from the first snap to the last and not wait until you feel like you have no other choice that's what he does that's what Mike McCarthy does he waits till mid season to make too many changes he should have had from game one...

Mike McCarthy the offensive coordinator is not right for this team he has no aggression he has no killer instinct he tries not to lose games and that's a horrible way to run your team.... I just think that this is being overblown what I saw from Rico as if he'd have been ran more all year he'd have been a viable starter the Kansas City Chiefs on the best records in football use Kareem hunt who is not better than Rico they're pretty much the same guy that used different guys to create the run game the problem for us as soon as they pulled him off the street they were giving him 20 carries a game it took our staff until mid season to figure this out and that was the big mistake...

Because with that size, anything less than Darren Sproles is going to just be a guy.

No offense bro but all them stand still shotgun handoffs with defenders in the backfield before he got the ball would have made King Henry into "The Little Prince" Henry. Henry should send Jerry a thank you card for not signing him.

maybe, I don;t know, but I am pretty sure Henry is a better RB than Dowdle. Also, if that is true, then Pollard must have been superman , at times.

I'm not a hater of Deuce, but I find it hard to believe that he is our best back.
Pump the brakes, week 18 performances for a team locked into the playoffs vs a team out of the playoffs is like putting stock into the preseason games performances.

This. I think Rico is a serviceable back. But it took them 10 games to figure that out. 12 games to figure out Turpin needs to be involved in the offense. Wasting quality touches on Zeke was asinine. Poor and unimaginative coaching at its worst.

Zeke is the definition of a progress stopper at this point. Glad he's gone, should have never been brought back.

I actually do watch games and rico's at least somewhere around 15 so no they don't have two backs better than Rico on every team but your opinions pathetic it's OK you're allowed to be pathetic you're allowed to call somebody out and then you get called out that's how this works on the great Internet.. Here's a tidbit just in case you need some education on football if Rico dowdo would've been given the football at least from the Pittsburgh game on 20 * a game he's every bit as good as Kareem hunt go look at the run game for the Kansas City Chiefs got the best record in football at least one of them go show me how Kareem hunt is better than Rico that's just one team and I'm picking a playoff team just so you can see you're very wrong it's about the offensive line the scheme and the commitment to the run game if Rico would have been given the ball that many times from the start we wouldn't be having this conversation 'cause he probably would have 1300 yards this year...

This is more of a system problem and I'm not saying we don't need a new running back but to say all three are garbage make your opinion garbage to me so it's OK I understand you're a casual you don't get it you don't understand football if you didn't see what you were seeing not saying rico's special but he's definitely in the middle of the pack there aren't 2 on every team that are better than Rico it is not a fact it's not true it's like a drama special but thanks for your dramatic entrance into this conversation you're very wrong this has more to do with Mike McCarthy's offense and his play calling and the offensive line they didn't get it going until late maybe next year they can start game one with a better plan and yes one new running back from the draft that's it we don't need 3 new ones we need one new one 'cause rico's every bit as good as at least 15 teams starter he's as good as naji Harris I know you're not gonna say he is but I say he is show me where Harris is special on Pittsburgh and I'll tell you all he does is handle the ball a lot if you do it with Rico they look a lot the same none of them have breakaway speed they're not doing anything special but they're steady so that's just two teams and I'm not even looking but i'm going to look it up later when i get a chance..
