Thought this would be a fun exercise.
The past six months have been crazy on this site. Just last March-ish, we were going round-and-round about who and what position to draft. We were complaining about this franchise's failure to develop a young QB for post-Romo. We were contemplating the disaster of another season without Romo.
Since then, McFadden got hurt, Alfred Morris was signed, Elliott was drafted, Prescott was drafed, backup Moore got hurt, and Romo got hurt. It's been a whirlwind of change in the backfield from a year ago.
The glue in it all has been the offensive line, which we all know is one of the best single units in the entire NFL, if not the best, period. But consider the various possibilities that could have comprised this backfield if (1) Ramsey was drafted instead of Elliott, or (2) if Moore didn't get hurt and remained the backup, or (3) if McFadden didn't get hurt and Morris wasn't signed, or (4) if Romo was healthy. I'm going to add a another option...if Derrick Henry was drafted in the second round instead of Elliott.
What would the Cowboys current record be with...........?
Prescott/Elliott: 5-1
Prescott/Morris: ?
Prescott/McFadden: ?
Prescott/Henry: ?
Moore/Elliott: ?
Moore/Morris: ?
Moore/McFadden: ?
Moore/Henry: ?
Romo/Elliott: ?
Romo/Morris: ?
Romo/McFadden: ?
Romo/Henry: ?
My hope is that this doesn't degenerate into a draft argument or Romo/Dak debate. I just think it's interesting to look at the schedule and what the team would have done, and think about where this would be, had chips fallen and been played differently than they were. I'll hold mine for now.
