a proof positive validation of every stereotype of football fans being intellectual children.

Randle will suck. Just get ready for it.
#41 hit him in the backfield, Mr Magoo. Look at the full size highlight.0 yards after contact. :)
I just don't see how that's most likely even though he had limited touches he showed some ability.I think that's the most likely conclusion.
All those who were predicting a 8-8 or lessor win loss record. There were more in this category than people predicting a winning season.Who has claimed to know it absolutely?
It also doesn't mention Randle and repeatedly mentions a draft pick that doesn't exist. It sounds old and uninformed.Here is a blurb from Goose:
Question: Does Darren McFadden have enough talent to be a starting RB, or will he strictly be a backup?
"Do you mean does he have enough talent to contend for a rushing title? No -- but that's not what he's going to be asked to do. What McFadden gives them is a veteran they can stick at the top of the running back depth chart. The halfback position will not be handled like it was a year ago. Demarco Murray was a three-down back. Lance Dunbar was under-utilized. This season, Dunbar will get all the third downs and long-yardage passing downs. The starting halfback, whether it's McFadden or a draft pick, will be a first-and-second down option. If McFadden gives the Cowboys 800-900 yards, I think the Cowboys will do cartwheels. Especially if he's part of a three-back rotation with a rookie and Dunbar. He's just a veteran back the Cowboys believe they can trust with the ball in his hands."

I don't see any mention of Williams in this.
I don't think Williams was ever in the picture. He was held over on the practice squad to see if he could recover sufficiently. It hasn't happened. It is iffy for him barring a miracle.Here is a blurb from Goose:

I don't see any mention of Williams in this. Also, it was written pre-draft for what that's worth.
He isn't a holdover, they signed him to a 2 year contract. The second part of that which is incorrect is that he has in fact completely healed. The petella injury he is 100% back from. The minor swelling during OTA'S was totally unrelated and something that would not have held him out of a game.I don't think Williams was ever in the picture.

But it also makes no reference of Randle. As though he didn't expect him to make the roster. If you're that off on a prediction, you can't put any weight in the rest of it.Pre-draft. But no mention of Wiiliams either, I take as a no confidence vote at that point in time.
Then why is no one who covers the Cowboys putting him in the roster projections?He isn't a holdover, they signed him to a 2 year contract.

Yeah I already saw the grazing of his arm by a guy who ended up mostly crushing his fellow defender. The hole opened for Randle was monstrous, and the only back in NFL history who would have fallen to that "contact" is Troy Hambrick.#41 hit him in the backfield, Mr Magoo. Look at the full size highlight.

Murray probably would have just fumbled...Yeah I already saw the grazing of his arm by a guy who ended up mostly crushing his fellow defender. The hole opened for Randle was monstrous, and the only back in NFL history who would have fallen to that "contact" is Troy Hambrick.
This is just further proof of how idiotic the stat "yards after contact" is when the contact could be a finger grazing or a full on hit.

Now that is yards after contact.
Because they are under the impression that McFadden and Dunbar are untouchable. It's a ludicrous assumption but I get it. Dunbar is the niche player we always seem to love but never seem to use. McFadden is the Arkansas homer pick by Jerry. The funny thing is Ryan Williams actually got a slightly bigger signing bonus then McFadden (Williams got $240,000 while McFadden only got $200,000).Then why is no one who covers the Cowboys putting him in the roster projections?
Of course they should have reservations about durability. The guys career with the Cardinals was one big walking injury.the organization may have reservations about his durability.
