Reporters were askin him a bunch of questions about how he felt with his role and he kept saying " I dont know man" then stated he was pissed and he doesn't know if hell still be here or if theyll stick with the 3 runningback rotation. Im all for keeping Choice over Barber, I think hes younger fresher and much more likeable with not just the fans but teammates as well. What do you guys think will happen? Do we cut Barber or Choice, or keep them both? Barber was awsome and it would suck to see him go but whatevers best for the team is what i'm for.

Of course he's pissed.

Why wouldn't he be?

All that rah-rah team-mate stuff is OK to a point.

And that point disappears when you see Marion "Eddie George" Barber ahead of you producing diddly pooh.

Barber getting a single carry should be considered grand theft to the other backs.

I love Barber, but with his injuries, it's hard to say why he didn't play as well this year. Some say he's taken too much abuse. Some say he's slowed down. He was in fact injured, so I just don't know. What I do know is that Choice has a good future in the league and I want that future to be in Dallas. Some decisions have to be made this offseason. That's for sure.

Cut/Trade Barber.

Felix starts, and Choice backs him up, or vice versa. But the 3 headed monster is a bit much.

The 3-headed thing really doesn't work... well.

Keep all three backs, but let Felix/Choice handle the early carries. Let Barber go back to being the closer.

Choice can and would be a quality starter in this league.

Barber was real good a few years ago, but I haven't been impressed with him since he closed out the Commanders game at Fedex last year.

I'd look into trading Choice if I could turn that pick into a good o-lineman.I think that they could find a similar player to Choice in the draft.Now if the offer for Choice is not right i'd keep him here.

It was really a 2-headed thing. Choice rarely touched the ball in the second half of the season. Early on, he got more touches and good things happened, but we stopped using him except for the Razorback that everyone knew was coming because he was in the game. Garrett makes me scratch my head sometimes.

Choice needs to shut up ! In Jerry world a player is not judged by the quality of their performance but 1st, how much they are paid and 2nd, where they were drafted. As neither a high paid poor performer, like RW11 or barber, or a high draft pick like RW11 was, Choice needs to suck it up and take his roll on the bench regardless of whether he would contribute to the team or not.

Jerry will show us he was right to pay Barber all the money even if it means throwing away better players like Choice. You people need to get learned !!!

I can't blame Choice for being upset. I think he's the best all around RB Dallas has and should have had more opportunities to prove himself (i said this at this time last year). He proved he can carry a load last year. Poor use of the talent we have by Garrett.

As much as I like the 3-deep RB rotation, it's impossible to keep 3 quality RBs happy. All 3 can be starters in the NFL IMO. Jerry might have a tough choice to make.... I like all RBs, but if pressed, I'd take Jones/Choice.

On top of it all, Choice has shown that he wants to take a leadership role with this team. That counts for a lot.

Hawk, you make out like Jerry is the only one to do that.

I too want Choice to play more but I wonder if our problem is too many weapons. We cannot keep everyone happy.

Maybe it is time for Barber to go but damn he has been such a warrior for us for the last five years, I have trouble just cutting him loose.

did i miss where he said he was pissed off with his role?

i heard he was pissed at the outcome of the game.
woke up still pissed.
and yes he said it was a business and he can't tell you what will happen.

i wish "fans" were that smart a lot of the time. : )

but i never heard "i am pissed off with my role on the cowboys" but then again, i couldn't hear too many of the questions.
