Most of you haters are so lame. This is exactly why we need McFADDEN! We can get a CB and WR anytime. A D-Mac is rare.

HE IS PLAYMAKER, RUNS PASTS LB'S, DB'S LIKE HE WAS RUNNING AGAINST LINEMEN!

YOU GUYS ARE IDIOTS FOR NOT WANTING THIS GUY AS A COWBOY.

I have no doubt the majority of who post to this blog have no concept of NFL football.

None whatsoever.

Why should Dallas trade a small fortune of draft picks for a running back when all you need is a compliment to Marion Barber?

Keep the picks, draft a corner to battle Eli Manning, Donovan McNabb (both of whom beat Dallas this year) and a receiver to replace Terry Glenn.

You can find a running back with the picks you have that will be productive when paired with Barber.

Keep the core talent we have, improve it thru the draft, add a key free agent and the Cowboys can be a Super Bowl team.

Ruin the chemistry and you are looking at a Chicago Bears-type season.

That's a guarantee.

I watched this and now I'm kinda aroused. That wiggle-those bulging muscles! You can tell he's really light on his feet, and I think one time I thought I could see his jock strap outlined underneath his white game pants. I can't take this anymore and I need to use my company's bathroom for a moment. B back later but gotta keep that mental image though! I'll watch it one more time.

Posted by WilliamC @ 6:14 PM Tue, Jan 29, 2008

There are two things I hate about this discussion:

1. Jerry hasnt done it yet and probably will not do it. So do some peaple like to bash Jerry so much that now are we going to start bashing him for something he hasn't done?

2. It seems that those in favor of drafting DMac are criticising Marion Barber as part of their reason to get DMac, and thats a shame. No one gives more than Barber on the field and he doesnt deserve to be criticised just because he isn't DMac.

In case you guys havent noticed, its 3-months before the draft. How about we give the DMac thing a rest. NOBODY, INCLUDING JERRY knows what he will do in the draft because so much is going to depend on free agent acquisitions or the lack of same.

Posted by Chris/Denton @ 6:15 PM Tue, Jan 29, 2008

Giants, about to play the Superbowl... 4th in the league in rushing....highest draft pick used on ANY RB on that team... a 4th rounder.

Now stfu and go fetch me a good CB with that first pick and a RB that will just run with his eyes open with the second. =)

Posted by heavenbound @ 6:21 PM Tue, Jan 29, 2008

blah, blah, blah, u people amaze me...this by far will be the dumbest thing that Jerry would do by drafting DMac, since we have been to the playoffs for 9 straight yrs. and won 3 superbowls since 1995..so why would Jerry want to draft him to mess up our chemistry...NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!DMac's only the second coming of Bo Jackson without the injury..football is a contact sport, and anybody can get hurt, so why you haters say DMac would get hurt, his legs are skinny, blah, blah, blah..JJT is a newswriter, he don't know jack...we've been in post playoff hell for years until as of late, and still haven't won a playoff game yet...those pics are later in the first round people...the best CB,WR,S,NT, you name it will be gone, you will end up getting the 3rd best at each position...i say Jerry get DMac, we have nothing to lose, just look at our history, when was the last time you won a po game, yet alone been to a Superbowl....NEED I SAY MORE, DMAC IS THE MAN JERRY, GO FOR IT.....

Posted by Rick @ 6:25 PM Tue, Jan 29, 2008

I say go ahead Jerry pull the trigger. This guy could be a gamebreaker!! I would not put it past Jerry to try and make it happen. If the Cowboys do get him and he turns into a star, everyone will forget about the 2 number ones and whatever we gave up to get him.

Posted by Drew @ 6:30 PM Tue, Jan 29, 2008

McFadden is a great running back and will be a star. I don't think anyone would argue that, but at what cost. This is a team sport! Not too long ago a crazy coach traded his entire draft for some dreadlocked head from Texas and look what happened their. I think it is much better to have a team full of really good players that one or two real big stars. Hell even Troy, Michael, Emmitt, and Deion couldn't do anything in the post season once the talent around them dwiddled. Jerry if you can get him for our two firsts and maybe a third then go for it!!! Anything else, especially Barber, would make you look worst than Brittany Spears!!!!

Posted by jerryblowsasgm @ 6:31 PM Tue, Jan 29, 2008

Dmac is superior to Peterson. Barber is a slug. He tries hard but I could try hard. Dmac brings a dynamic to the offense like Owens does. Dallas needs to draft a cb. Not a 4th round cb. Get Dmac but make the trade package where its doable to draft a stud cb.

Posted by 1love @ 6:38 PM Tue, Jan 29, 2008

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!GO FOR IT JERRY, WE CAN GET A CB OR WR LATER ON IN THE DRAFT...(the patriots draft at the bottom of the draft year in and year out, and still end up in the superbowl seems like every year)...you can find players anywhere, but you can't find a talent like this all the time...Jerry knows that this will be the last super back coming out of college in a few years, so he's gonna get this guy while he can...Oh yeah, that coach that gave up the entire draft for a rb from UT, his team really sucked...this team went to the playoffs last year, and a player like DMac will take us over the top...

Posted by Jeff @ 6:39 PM Tue, Jan 29, 2008

Yes, it would be dumb. Keep your picks and draft players. You have to have young guys behind veterans to replace them as they get older. If Jerry does this, it will be the Chan Gailey, Dave Campo years all over again. The difference being he would fall this time without the Super Bowl victories.

Posted by Redskins_Rule @ 6:47 PM Tue, Jan 29, 2008

think of the marketing!!! Jerry can have Wade go to MacDonald's in his pick-up before the game and order like 100,000 Big Macs...then Wade and Camps and Coach Joe can transfer the hamburgers [while Wade is watched very closely] into the blue and silver styro-foam sandwich containers with a star on the top lid...and then Jerry sells these "D-Macs" at quadruple for what he paid for them...and all you Cow-Cattle gladly pay for these and then save the sandwich containers to show your grandchildren...HA HA HA...Hail to the Redskins!!!...

Posted by DougO @ 6:50 PM Tue, Jan 29, 2008

Jerry ain't that stupid, and he's not that much of a Razorback Kool-Aid drinker to make such a move. But I know he LOVES the gossip. It works in his favor.

If he trads up with the Flounder it will likely be to nab no-brainer top pick Glenn Dorsey, leaving a bunch of goofball media speculators with egg on their face.

Posted by BamBam @ 6:51 PM Tue, Jan 29, 2008

I'd hate to lose Barber, and I can see a tandem of Barber and Mendenhall or Felix Jones being very productive.

But, if the Cowboys can get the 1st pick in the draft for one of their two firsts, their second, and Barber, as suggested by JJT, they have to consider it.

Of course, they could use #1 to take McFadden. But with defensive linemen and QBs in demand, they could probably trade down to 3 to 5 and still get him. Or, they could use the value of that #1 pick to get multiple first and second rounders.

I think Barber's trade value has peaked. No fan wants Jerry to mortgage the farm for McFadden. But JJT has convinced me that Jerry might be able to make a good deal with the Dolphins.

Posted by JISTTHINKN @ 6:51 PM Tue, Jan 29, 2008

He should continue to do what has been the M.O. for the last few years. Fill as much as possible in FA that falls within reason or is an obvious upgrade like Hamlin and Big Davis. And leave the options open for draft day moves or simply sitting still and letting the draft come to you.

I don't want to see any more Skyler Greens or Stanbeck reaches though. And seventh round corners just don't seem to move up the charts.

I'd like to see a trade for a proven WR like Fitzgerald or Williams but other than that I'd rather draft choices be left alone. I would bot mind seeing the Boys take two corners in the first round. Bound to hit on one of them at least and you can buffer yourself against a HUGE T-New payday if they both pan out.

JISTTHINKN

Posted by Jeff @ 6:56 PM Tue, Jan 29, 2008

Lemme see. We have 2 ones and everything else. We are lacking a running game. With a 2nd or 3rd we can pick up offensive linemen and safety help. You can drop to the 4th to get help on the O line as well. We can take those 2 ones and make a first pick out of it and get the best player in the draft, in essence giving us ONE first round pick, which is all we need. I fail to see the downside. Will we reach with our 2 picks or will will get a pro-ready running back that is not a project? JJT knows more about football than I do. But maybe that is why he is not coaching the Cows. He doesn't know more than Wade or Jerry. He just knows more than me.

Posted by clay @ 6:56 PM Tue, Jan 29, 2008

I don't think anyone really doubts McFadden's potential, it's just the price of moving up to a top 5 spot (at least). Running backs just aren't worth that much in today's game. QB's are, LT's are, a few CB's, DE's or WR's are, but running backs are just too replaceable. Ladanian Tomlinson is considered to be the top back in the game, but he goes down and the Chargers run the ball about the same. It's the same deal in Minnesota, Peterson goes down so Chester Taylor puts up 100+ yards. Hang tight and pick up some combination of CB, WR, and a speed back to split with Marion. Maybe pick up a lineman or two as insurance now and replacements later.

Posted by ptm @ 6:58 PM Tue, Jan 29, 2008

Corners, corners corners, and a fast tall wide receiver please.Running game is fine, it's bubble time for thompson, put him in and lets see what he can add to MBIII

Posted by Bill @ 6:58 PM Tue, Jan 29, 2008

I would definitely make the trade for McFadden. We need a game breaking running back. I am so sick of wasting late 1st round picks. Package them, and move on up. Also, Jerry better be active in free agency. This roster clearly needs help. This Jean Jacques Taylor guy has to stop with this garbage about how we have 13 pro-bowlers and all we need is a little tweak. For example, Roy Williams was one of those pro-bowlers, and he couldn't cover me, so calm down. The roster needs help.

Posted by shane @ 7:36 PM Tue, Jan 29, 2008

Nothing will ever be dumber than Jerry thinking he could do without Jimmy. No way should you give up two 3 first round picks for a running back. If you don't have a defense, like we don't, you don't have anything. We need secondary help much more than we need a running back. Add to it that for every Adrian Peterson there are about 10 KiJana Carters. Too risky.

Posted by Eddy @ 7:47 PM Tue, Jan 29, 2008

If we get a top notch corner ala Samuel or Trufant in FA, then I say go for it. What are we risking? Not being able to draft another Carenter or Spears? Wow! I'll take DMac! I agree that we need a standout 3rd corner and I hope we address it in FA, as far as receiver, I believe that with a stud in the backfield like DMac to go along with MBIII, all we need is one great receiver (TO) and some good role players (Crayton, Hurd, Austin Stanback). Just my humble opinion. The quality drafted players that fill in roles for your team are usually day 2. The first round is the most hyped thing there is, but the opportunity to get a potential superstar rb doesn't come along too often. I say go for it Jerry only if you make a splash at corner in FA!

Posted by JJGM (Not!) @ 7:52 PM Tue, Jan 29, 2008

This is the Herschel trade in reverse.

I can't imagine anyone beyond a pimply faced moron who reads Maxim in the toilet would want this trade. Just plain dumb.

Do me a favor, trade up for Jonathan Stewart, save yourself a #1 and get a BETTER RB if you really want one.

Posted by heavenbound @ 7:59 PM Tue, Jan 29, 2008

drafting a corner or safety is hilarious...first of all, those 2 picks are in the later part of round 1...the so-called top Cb's/Safeties will be gone, the other players are just wishful thinking..there's no such thing as a shutdown corner, for every deion sanders, there's a jacque reeves...that's why, you go FA for secondary help, at least you know the guy has experience in the league and want be a bust pick...trade those two picks for DMac, the top players will be gone at 22 and 28...DMAC IS A TRUE STUD GAMEBREAKER......

Posted by Jay @ 8:00 PM Tue, Jan 29, 2008

Posted by tugturdwell @ 8:01 PM Tue, Jan 29, 2008

You can definitely get starry eyed watching that video. D-Mac is a prime stud, no doubt about it. If he is there at 4 or 5...do it. Not for the overall nbr 1 though. There are a lot of good backs out there...but one that has his combination of skills is rare. Even players that had angles on D-MAC could not catch up with him. The others..well they looked like they were picking daisies as he ran by them.

Posted by chris graham @ 8:06 PM Tue, Jan 29, 2008

man just look how hype u guys where over the corners & wide outs lastyr. only 2 did kinda good bowe & reeves.the only rookie that was very good wuz peterson thr rb.mcfadden is worth more than all these over hyped corners & wide outs,u can get them n the second rd.

Posted by Keith @ 8:08 PM Tue, Jan 29, 2008

First off, never say never. I personally think the price of going up will be too much. But if you thought (and maybe Jerry does) that DMac was going to be as good as/better than LT, APete, etc, then don't say you wouldn't trade up for him. Would you give up the same package (whatever it is) for LT ( of 2 years ago) or APete?

I don't think an all-world RB guarantees you a SuperBowl. I think with Romo and DMac you'd be almost guaranteed a playoff run ever year....like Dallas of the 90s. But having 2 #1s means you can get a top CB AND WR and greatly reduce the number of holes (which RB is not one of) on your team.

Then again, there's nothing (but JJ bucks) stopping you from signing ASamuel and JWalker and trading the house for DMac....bottom line though is don't say you won't do it. At least talk to people and see what it would take.

Posted by Aaron Layman @ 8:20 PM Tue, Jan 29, 2008

Hey, I think McFadden will be great, but it just isn't worth it. First of all, the Cowboys already have a top notch RB in Marion Barber. No, he is not as talented as McFadden, but he produces at the level you need to win in the NFL. Second of all, they have more pressing needs in the secondary and at receiver. There are always productive RBs to be found after the first round. Actually, given the Cowboys history of draft picks in the 20s, I would be in favor of trading down and collecting some 2nds, 3rds and 4ths, and build depth. Maybe they can ship off one of the 1's for a 1st round pick next year and a 2nd this year.

Posted by 1love @ 8:24 PM Tue, Jan 29, 2008

you got 2# 1's in this year draft...hmmmm, let me see...WHAT TWO PLAYERS(CB,WR,S) IN THIS YEARS DRAFT, IS GONNA STEP OUT ON THE FIELD ON OPENING DAY, AND MAKE AN IMPACT...NAME THEM, LET ME HELP YOU,NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE...they probably want even see the field you so called experts...what about Bobby Carpenter, Anthony Spencer, the last two #1 draft picks, did they do anything spectacular NOPE!!!Now take DMac, do you think he will do anything spectacular on opening day? you answer the question....

Posted by nostradamus @ 8:27 PM Tue, Jan 29, 2008

Dumbest move ever???? Dumbest move ever???? It will be the dumbest move ever if Jerry doesnt take DMAC. You haters keep saying that you cant give up that much for a RB and that the Jerry could draft a good RB later on...Well DMAC isnt justa RB! DMAC is a Freak of Nature. He will be a good RB and has the potential to be the greatest RB of all time. He is so versatle that we can line him up at RB or WR. Opposing Defensive coaches will be wetting their bed the whole week leading up to game day. So grow some nuts you sack of old worry warts and prepare to witness the birth of a Mega Star!!!!!!!

Posted by Steve @ 8:29 PM Tue, Jan 29, 2008

Ok, Let me dream a little.

I say keep Barber AND get McFadden, use them together, and give the Dolphins a bunch of draft picks and another player or 2.
Having both of them in the backfield? Now that would be a dream team.

Posted by heavenbound @ 8:43 PM Tue, Jan 29, 2008

nostradamus, you are one of the few smart ones on this blog, you make perfect sense..everyone so worried about giving up draft picks like we are always competing for the NFC East title, playoffs, and superbowls year in and year out...we have sucked for so many years, and i'm so tired of hearing at the draft,"The Dallas Cowboys have selected, (another player on defense) its time to get some offensive firepower, and u r right DMac isn't just a RB, he's a straight up FREAK OF NATURE at the RB Position.....JERRY, DO YOUR THANG....

Posted by derek @ 8:54 PM Tue, Jan 29, 2008

What about a 1st rounder, Bobby Carpenter and another Parcell's guy to Miami for that first pick? Parcell's drafted this guy and we never use him....Zach Thomas is getting older...who knows Bobby Carpenter might be a starter for Miami one day...but i can't help to think about keeping Barber on the ROster as well as Dmac!

Posted by Joey @ 9:07 PM Tue, Jan 29, 2008

DMac is great but so is Rice, Jones, Mendenhall, etc. Don't screw up the good thing we have with Barber. Get a compliment and draft other needs.

Oh, and did I mention how wonderfully insightful today's chat was!!?? If you're going to write for the DMN and be a "sports columnist" (i.e., not a beat reporter; should know a little to a lot about every sport in and around the DMA), then have some insight into Big 12 basketball, Rangers (beyond pitching sucks; waste of an argument dude) and "I'm not following the NFL draft/trade market". WTF? The Cowboys aren't in Super Bowl...you should start following that market the next day. JJT is frustrating...

Posted by Tod @ 9:10 PM Tue, Jan 29, 2008

Do people here even realize the salary cap exists? You can't trade for DMac and sign a top corner. You don't have unlimited money. DMac will become a top dollar RB AND you won't have the lower 1st rounders to draft cheaper WR and CB depth. This drives me crazy. Also, the draft is 3 months away. We seriously don't need 2 posts on this a day. If the Cowboys do make the trade, it will be right before the draft. This will drive me crazy.

Posted by bigd @ 9:23 PM Tue, Jan 29, 2008

Who knows, we might be able to get him without giving up Barber. The Dolphins don't need another back(R. Brown), they need defense(carpenter, spears). Either way, Jerry has to do get this done. Mcfadden is the best college back I've ever seen. With Mcfadden AND Barber the Cowboys would have the best backfield tandem of all time. Do it now and don't let the pundits talk you out of it. Please!

Posted by Bill in DC @ 9:32 PM Tue, Jan 29, 2008

I think whether Dallas trades up to take McFadden depends on who we sign in FA. If Dallas signs a top CB (Trufant, Samuels, Ashmouga) and somehow manages to wrest Roy Williams from Detroit (rumors abound that Detroit wants a 2nd round pick for him. If they are willing to take Dallas' 2nd round pick & Hurd or Austin Dallas will be knocking at their door at 12:01am March 3rd) then I would bet my mortgage that Jerry goes after DMac. If he pulls off a coup like that he automatically becomes the Owner of the century.

THE cap room is not an issue. Dallas is 10 mil under the cap counting the tenders we have to make to Canty, Barber. If necessary Dallas can rework contracts like the Redskins do to create the room. Normally I wouldn't advocate this but, if you're one or two players away from a SB team, THEN it is acceptable.

Posted by Bill in DC @ 9:37 PM Tue, Jan 29, 2008

bigd,

Good point. They have Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams (although I don't know if Tuna will keep him). Adding Barber would be a waste. Maybe they take Carpenter, Spears, and Austin or Hurd plus out 2 #1s. Although I have Jerry dealing Austin or Hurd to get Roy Williams.

I'm getting tired of the Peterson comparisons. For one, I don't think McFadden is quite that much of a specimen. Close maybe, but not quite. Second, did anyone notice what happened when Peterson went down with an injury? Chester Taylor would still put up 100-150 yards rushing. The Vikings O-Line had a whole lot to do with Peterson's success, just like all O-Lines do. Teams that block well can find someone to run through the hole.

when i first heard about this, i thought that it was a bad idea, but if Jerry can get Miami's first pick in round 2, then it wouldn't be that much of a drop off and we could probably pick up a solid athlete. Remember, Demeco Ryans(who we passed up for Bobby Carpenter) from Houston was the rooking defensive player of the year 2 years ago so you can find quality in round 2. I just don't want him to give up Marion the Barbarian. Spears, Carpenter, 1 and 2, for Miami's 1 and 1 at the beginning of round 2 should be the deal... Don't knock it fellas...it's not that bad of a deal

yeah Chad, Chester Taylor put up over 100 yds in 2 games when peterson got hurt...the two teams were Oakland and San Fran who both have top ten picks this year, that means that they suck, for what it's worth... Adrian Peterson put up 296 yds against the San Diego Chargers defense,the team that was one game away from the Superbowl...A true stud matters...Barber only started one game, and he couldn't even finish it because he was wore out...he want make it with that punishing running style of his....DMAC, is the man...a Peterson clone, only faster...SEC hint Speed Conf. that DMac outran game after game...CASE CLOSED

Posted by MidnightCow @ 10:25 PM Tue, Jan 29, 2008

I WATCHED THE HIGHLIGHT VIDEO. I saw McFadden running in open space. If all the NFL RBs had that much daylight, they would all be studs. The point is in the NFL, it ain't that easy to break free. No matter how fast you are, somebody is faster bigger stronger and meaner. There was a RB touted as the greatest football playing dude ever just a few years ago. His name is REGGIE BUSH. He's done diddly squat and is hurt. All speed on the outside but can't take the punishment to go up the middle. To the fools who thought Emmitt Smith couldn't get caught from behind. He got caught from behind all the time. He was impossible to bring down. He was relatively short and super strong. You know who's performing better than SAINT REGGIE? The Jaguars second rounder Maurice Jones-Drew; all 5' 8" of him.

I'm hoping these are just trolls trying to get a reaction. Perhaps you need to take off your Razorback glasses for a second and see this from a logical standpoint. You mean to tell me that you are happily willing to trade TWO 1s AND a Pro Bowl RB for the #1 overall pick so you can draft a RB? I'm glad you guys aren't running my football team.

realistically, Clinton Portis should have been in the pro bowl before MBIII, he shared time with JJ, come on...MBIII had some exciting runs, but he never carried the load a whole season, he didn't even do it in college...he and Maroney shared the load then...don't agree with the Pro Bowl Voting anyway, i guess everyone agrees that Roy Williams is a probowler also, NOT!!! sharing the load is one thing, and carrying the load the whole season is another...so I guess the jury is out of MBIII and DMac, because we haven't seen either carry the load in the NFL...think about it...

Hell-oooo, Morons! The Tuna takes over Miami, and the first player he tries to pry away from us is Marion Barber III. Doesn't everyone see how fishy this is? MB3 is the most powerful, most dominating, most fiery , most consistent player on our football team. He is the BEST player on our football team. With not passing game, MB3 almost beat the Giants single-handedly! He WAS our playoff offense. Give Barber the permanent starting job, and I think he's the next coming of Emmitt Smith, even with the same running style & nose for the End Zone.

But don't worry about what I think... I'm sure the Tuna means us well in this trade. You can TRUST him. (LOL)

JJ-
Speaking of sunglasses: Would Barber be a Pro Bowl RB if he was the RB in Minn. instead of AP. Did you ever think for a second that Barber's success might be a result of having guys like Romo, TO and JW on his team? Wake up and smell the coffee my friend! Barber is a good back in a great system but he will never be a Gamebreaker!

Parcells used to say it was dumb to use a #1 draft pick on a running back that averages about 4 years in the league. Jones has said he learned from Parcells. Taylor is right. Packaging for DMac would be the dumbest move Jones ever made.

what if Jerry throws in the life-size blow-up doll of earnest t bass for the Tuna? that things only been used like 14,000 x's by SAINT JIMMY and Roy Williams together. what a threesome sight that would be!

I say get McFadden but just make sure SAINT JIMMY/earnest t bass/the Burns' family tree/RAMS FAN/GMEN 4EVER/all his other clever personalities/etc. gets a life-size blow-up doll of our new RB sensation. That should keep him busy for the next several years and GET HIM OFF MY BACK!!! stop it!!! I want to live in peace on this blog but you are making it impossible!

Nice Video, but didn't see him break any tackles like Barber does. Looks like he's fast through the hole and won't be caught from behind. But, so is Julia Jones and neither one will get anywhere with a Dallas offensive line that can't run block and tires out when it trys to do so.

Get someone that can help our team like CB Dominique Rogers-Cromartie.

Coach Jerry, take your play-not-to-lose conservative-running game plan and send it back to Parcels in Miami.

An let the real Football people you hired deal with the draft. Your meddling has keep us out of the Super Bowl way too long.

CRAPCHA code also drules and is now posting to the wrong thread.

I agree. I'm a die hard cowboys fan and when the lost to the giants in the divisional round I was crushed. I mean we had the super bowl appearance gift wrapped for us and we just let it slip out of our hands. What I would do is keep Barber because he's our best back in Years! people, and i would draft Kevin Smith from the university of southern florida. The guy set records this year and i feel that two headed running back system is what the nfl is now a days. ie adrian peterson and chester taylor who BOTH ran for 1000 yards. i would use our 2 first rounders on defense more specifically finding a replacement for Roy Williams. After 6 years in the league he has proven with out a shadow of a doubt he cannot pass cover.

I don't know about Smith, but trading a large fortune for McFadden is insane. The guy was pretty durable in college, but he did get dinged up some. The Barbarian has not gotten banged up at all in 2+ seasons. It would be a huge risk that could set Dallas back significantly.

Posted by MidnightCow @ 12:22 PM Wed, Jan 30, 2008

Frank,

You are absolutely correct. This forum is filled with Pig-people fans and idiots who have never watched an NFL game in their life. The only guy running in free space in the NFL is Devin Hester, the punt returner. When Big Bill left the Pats to take up with the Jets, he immediately traded for CURTIS MARTIN. MB3 is Curtis Martin, a durable workhorse that Big Bill lusts after. Jerry Jones confirmed his ineptitude for even entertaining trading away Barber.

PleasePlease stop talking about a trade with the Dolphins because they aren't going to draft McFadden. If we are going to trade with someone it will be with Oakland and the #4 pick or maybe Atlanta at #3 if you think that Oakland really wants McFadden. I would trade one of our first picks and throw in some other players for McFadden, but that isn't going to happen. Take Mendenhall or Felix Jones and get the best CB on the draft board. Then try to move up in the 2nd round and get a good WR. CB, then RB or WR. stop talking about a trade with the Dolphins because they aren't going to draft McFadden.

Good grief! How many more first round draft picks do we have to spend on this defense??? Don't we have like 20 #1s back there already? OK so maybe not 20, but if memory serves me correctly it was the Cowboy offense that STUNK the last quarter of the season - not the defense. And as much as I love to watch MBIII run, the guy has got to wear out sooner rather than later. There's only so many times you can run through a wall before it collapses on you. You got 2 receivers with a foot each into retirement age. You are one injury away from a below average OLine.

I don't care who you sign in Free Agency or who you draft as long as it improves the offense. Go ahead and grab a good DB or 2, but make sure you get a very solid 1B running option/stud workhorse running back, and/or a good receiver with game-breaking speed.

If you can guarantee me that you actually stand pat with those #1s (don't try to out think yourself and trade back and get nothing like you are famous for JERRY!)...maybe trade up a few spots if you need to...don't draft the next Carpenter, Spears, or Spencer....then I won't complain when DMac is getting 1600 per season elsewhere. But if you're gonna muck it up like you almost always do, then move up and take a sure thing (DMac)...if you're gonna gamble then lay all the money out on the table.

Anyway, I'm sick of the 'drafting all defense' and I'm sick of the trading back and ending up with nothing.

You "so called Cowboy fans" kill me. You actually don't remember the years that our charismatic owner ran the show. I have not heard one person say how DMac is going to strenghten our TEAM. There is no "I" in TEAM, but some of you want good ole' gun-slinger Jerry to gamble on one player, who could turn out to be a bust. Marion Barber proved his worth this year....period. He is a solid back. I played D1 ball for an SEC team and spent 15 years in the Marines. Does anybody understand the TEAM concept and morale of the other players. Just like the Washington Redskins...do you actually beleive that all of the many free agents they have on defence are going to come back after what happened to their beloved Greg Williams? If you get rid of one of the pieces that got us to where we are and bring in an "NFL" unproven rookie, that some of the team will remain happy? College ball ain't the NFL. Let's talk about what every analyst and those of us who have sense know....We need to get our secondary up, big time. We have the 22nd pick and 28th pick. To say that all of the good receivers and corners will be gone early is not very smart. After watching how the Giants beat up on the O-line of New England, alot of middle of the road teams want to upgrade their D-line and O-line. Running backs are plentyful this year. There is even a kid out of Illinois they expect may go before DMac. We need to keep our team chemistry, get a cornerback, because the crop we have right now, is not going to get us out of the 1st round next year. We definitely need one or two good, young receivers, weather they be free agents are draft picks. Glenn is gone, T.O. is a freak of nature, but he has only two or three years left in the tank and the cast he has playing with him have shown that they have potential streaks at being "good", but not great. I Jerry Jones takes that kid at the expense of MB3 we are going to feel it in more ways than one.
