Lets keep talking about football while we still can. Here is a story I heard last week that I thought was pretty dumb and just forgot about it, but now, 4-5 days later, it seems to be gaining a little weight, and I am getting pretty darn concerned. Here's the story:
Dolphins are willing to trade the Cowboys the Overall #1 pick this year, for both of our first rounders and Marion Barber.
At first, I thought this was so ridiculous that I didn't pay much attention to it, but after watching "Around The Horn", and having 3 out of 4 writers saying this was a good idea, I became very uncomfortable.
Did anyone see what MB3 did in the playoff game against the Giants? I did. I was there actually. You might say, well, what did he do in the second half?
He blocked. That's right. We completely got away from running the ball in the second half, which, I know, we are a passing team, so I'm not mad, but you can't deny, he is bad to the bone.
Did you know that was Marion 1st start of the season. Yeah. He has been sitting behind J.J. all year and was easily the better of the two backs. I guess what I'm trying to say is: Marion Barber III is not just good. I believe he could be one of the premier backs in the league. Give him the ball. Do not trade him. My father-in-law would so affectionally tell me that, "One bird in the hand is worth two in the bush". I cannot see the value in letting go of one of the best backs in the league to try and hit a homerun with Mcfadden. Listen to me. Keep both of the first rounders. Get a starting corner and maybe a reciever. Heck, get two corners. Let's save room in the cap, which we would have to pay to D-Mac, and resign Flozo Adams, or go after another big name OLmen so we can keep dominating on the line of scrimmage. Jerry, please, listen to me. Use the components that we have and try to fix our weaknesses. Let's not send one of our best players that brings a fire to the entire team away in hopes we can get a back that honestly can't be too much better than MB3. All of you out there, let me know how you feel, please tell me I'm not alone. Plus, I'm thinking about taking that Jordan Sparks anthem at over 1:42 during the Super Bowl. Let me know.

Jigathon,
You are wise to listen to the sayings of Dr. James Cooke. Despite Jerry's creepy affinity for doing whatever he can to draft fellow Razorbacks, I really don't think he is going to cast off a known commodity, in this case Barber, and two first-round draft picks, inherently a hit or miss proposition, for another hit or miss proposition, D-Mac.
I think we all agree that McFadden is a great, great back who played very well in a tough conference, but a quick glance at a number of running backs who have dominated at the college level would reveal that not all of those "sure thing" prospects actually turned out to be "sure things".
In conclusion, #1: Keep MB3, #2: Draft a CB, #3: Draft a quality WR.
Jerry, don't listen to the Tuna's siren call.
Maaaaaaaannnnnn. I just did a loooooooong response that i felt pretty good about, then the lappy messes up and erased it all. I don't feel like retyping all of it so i'll summarize-I agree with you jiggish and j. We have a good running back already and need help in other areas that the two first rounders can provide.
Also, I expect Jordan to demolish 1:42. She's young, she'll be getting into it, I predict a flirtation with dos minutos.
One Love,
Twig
