I've about talked myself into believing that it is good for the Cowboys that McClain will unavailable for the first several games of the season. Better for McClain to be fresher ... less banged up ... during the homestretch and (one hopes) playoffs. He didn't exactly finish strong last year.

For a while there it was looking as if the Cowboys weren't particularly interested in signing McClain again.

Whose development do you think would suffer if Spencer were on the team next year? I kind of like the idea of Spencer being available to take some snaps as the starters are resting.

O.K. ... here's one specifically for you, Mid: With the 27th pick, would you rather have A.P. or pick a rookie CB?

Do you give the Vikings the 27th pick if that's what it takes to obtain AP in a trade?

That's exactly right.

Let's not forget that it took the combined magic of Steve Pelluer and Kevin Sweeney to position the Cowboys to draft Troy Aikman.

Absolutely.

Not exactly the highest form of praise here ....

Drafting a mid-round QB is sort of like buying a lottery ticket. Kinda interesting to read this article after the fact: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1558996-nfl-draft-2013-mid-round-qbs-that-will-exceed-expectations-at-the-next-level

:lol

Interesting. Wondering how the results change as the differential deviates from 21. Staubach led a large number of comebacks, but apparently in most of those games his team wasn't behind by 21 or more. Also, I'd guess that Aikman's ranking wouldn't be very good. When his teams were strong...

That Claiborn pick was a colossal failure.

Sure, after you aggressively lobbied for it over the past few weeks. If this team picks a CB in the first round, it's on you.

You just might get a CB in the first round.

Absolutely, dbair, that's for sure. Nearly everyone agrees that Gurley will be a successful NFL back and likely a very successful NFL RB assuming he avoids serious injury. The question being asked here is whether Gurley is truly on the same level as guys like Herschel Walker, Bo Jackson...

Not sure if this guy knows what he's talking about, but it is interesting: http://www.sports-central.org/sports/2011/03/15/does_size_matter_for_running_backs.php I didn't see many of his games either. For whatever it is worth, Gurley's yards per carry average was similar to what Barry Sanders...

dbair did a good job of summarizing Yeldon. I'd just add that while Yeldon has serviceable speed, but his 40 time isn't anything special for an RB. He's also 6'2" which is on the tall side by today's standards.

I'll give you a punch in the chops.

In Gordon's favor ... the Cowboys OL is Wisconsin-like.
