Cowboys2008;2008616 said:I don't think an acquisition of Pacman changes anything, not during the prelude or the after-thought. Our intention is to go for McFadden, period. No one player we pick up, no rumor-mill running wild, no combination of people we could draft at 22 & 28, and no magically fixing stud wr that would cost us a first to get, is going to change that. No outlandish cost. No bundle of insatiable picks. No glaring needs at another position or two. No nothing is going to stop Jerry from trying to move heaven 'n earth to acquire Dmac. He's a Cowboy come the end of April. He's the new #21. If Jerry can get it done.
Aside from the "wow" comment, Jerry straight out said he doesn't wish to follow old traits of keeping the pick or trading down to acquire multiple picks. He thinks maybe that's been the problem instead of actually going for that "difference maker". Jerry's got a hunger in his gut and it's for a Super Bowl. He's sick, just like the rest of us, of would-bes, could-bes, and should've beens, that it's time to go for the gold and stop pissing around with number one picks. Dmac is that "gold". The rest of the players some of yall want to pick....see above- a bunch of bes and eventual beens unless we were to get really lucky.
As for the WR pipe-dream we all have.. I believe it can still be done without either of this year's #1s. Williams, Johnson or Boldin, and I'm perfectly fine with next year's #1 and a pick or 2 more, if that's what it takes. For one of those 3 on this already deep team, sacraficing this year and next years draft with McFadden included for us...hell yeah.
while we're focusing on what he said - let's not put down him saying the #1 priority is putting from across from el dorado. so unless mcfadden is going to be switched to a WR, we have yet another contradiction in the mcfadden theory.
so again, people hear what they want to hear out of what jones says. mcfadden is far the bigger 'pipe dream' due to his cost then bolden or williams would be due to their own and immediate KNOWN impact vs. HOPE for mcfadden.
mcfadden would cost us a known WR and a starting CB and then even more. you'd be creating holes and ignoring holes to get this "fools gold" you see so shiney.
