That first game vs. the Eagles last season got pretty ugly. I'm concerned that we'd get a lot more of that if Kelley gets Mariota. I think the Eagles offense would be very difficult to stop if Kelly has a QB who is a great fit with his (Kelly's) system. I'd much prefer that Mariota end up...

My best guess - 1st round CB 2nd round RB 3rd round DL

Eagles “doing all they can” to get Mariota Posted by Mike Florio on April 29, 2015, 10:14 PM EDT In less than 24 hours, we’ll know whether the Eagles trade up to get quarterback Marcus Mariota. For now, we know they want to. Per a league source, the Eagles are “doing all they can” to make...

Must be that dbair said something good about him.

Yeah, that's pretty close to how I see it. I am worried about the RB position, though. It is a lot to ask a rookie to come in, hit the ground running, and contribute at a high level. He won't have to replicate Murray's numbers, of course, but that rookie will need to make a significant...

LOL

I think that there is a decent chance that the Cowboys could get a decent back in the late 3rd round, but I don't think it is worth the gamble. The cost of not getting someone acceptable in the late 3rd round is just too high ... this team needs a high quality rookie RB this year (assuming...

Maybe, but it still won't be as bad as the Galloway trade.

"exotics" as Landry used to call them.

We'll know for sure in about six month.

But AD isn't normal... I agree with you (and others) that the acquisition has to be at a reasonable price. Also, if the Cowboys were dead set on acquiring Peterson, the Cowboys probably wouldn't have signed McFadden. My guess is that the Cowboys are hoping it'll work out, but are preparing...

Well, we just disagree. Success has a way of changing behavior and philosophies. Garrett's butt was on the line last year. He knew it. Everyone knew it. And that running game is precisely what saved his butt. People can argue that Garrett isn't nearly as smart as he's said to be and...

... and I think defenses would have an even tougher time not selling out against the run with Peterson in the backfield, thereby further opening up the passing game. In short, with Peterson, the Dallas offense would present the same extremely difficult dilemma to defenses that Aikman, Smith...

The window of opportunity for this team is open now and for only a few more seasons (at most). I think the Cowboys should go for broke. Given the short amount of time that these Cowboys will be a plausible championship contender, it's best not to draft a rookie RB and count on him to become...

Will and should the Cowboys obtain Adrian Peterson?

I gotta believe that AP would have to give the Cowboys a discount of several million in order for a trade to occur.

Yeah, cause there really isn't much difference between the two positions .... So, is he a possible special teams player or is this a pure PR move? (The NFL lusts for Europe almost as much as it lusts for Los Angeles)

Absolutely. Plus, sucking really bad after Romo retires isn't so horrible if it positions you to obtain the 1st round draft choice that it'll probably take to replace Romo. The results may not be as good, but sure.

I'll be. I think you are right. Well, here's hoping McClain smokes a little more in the interim. :smile1

At some point there will be salary cap hell to pay, but the future is now for the Cowboys. I'm for it. Push the chips to the center of the table and give it a go. The team is going to suck for at least a little while after Romo retires, no matter what their salary cap situation is. Might as...
