Darren McFadden signs with Cowboys

[CodeMonkey]

To a 2 year deal, according to ESPN.

LOL, he's going to replace Murray????

Anyone can run behind that o-line. I think the more important question is, can he pick up a block in the passing game?

 

[shaunpinney]

He's no Murray though...

 

[Boston Ram]

Jones has had a man crush on McFadden for years. Finally got his guy

 

[Mikey Ram]

Jerrah's mind has finally turned into total mush...How do you let Murray walk and sign McFadden...Might as well go without a RB...Maybe anybody could run behind their line, but not close to the way Murray did...Saved a boatload of money and lost a boatload of yards...Not a trade off I would like...

 

[Athos]

That's a steep downgrade. McFadden sucks.

Mizzou actually showed how to stop that guy. And NFL teams apparently followed suit.

McFadden is just as talented as Murray and they're both injury prone, Mcfadden just moreso. That Cowboys O-line is ridiculous, I think they've got the right idea here. Still need to draft someone, though. MGIII or Gurley (if healthy) could put up 1,300 or more yards as a rookie imo.

Just read that 'Boyz fans are burning Murray jerseys...Perhaps their ire should be directed at the guy who REALLY made that decision...Murray is gone because Jones didn't want to pay him...There is no other reason...

What he said

 

[BeachRam78]

Wow, didn't see this coming. I liked DMC when he came out of Arkansas. Injuries really hurt his career

 

[CodeMonkey]

Jerrah lost the staring contest with Murray and Kelly pulled a nice sniper move by stealing his division rival stud RB. Cool poker game going on here. Although I'm having a hard time understanding where Philly is coming up with all this money. McFadden can be lights out but those skinny legs. It seems like he's injured more than healthy. Huge downgrade for the boys here.

I hope someday people will be saying that about the Rams Oline

 

[JRobinson]

He's probably just insurance I'd imagine. Although he could be the guy they want to run. I think it's a decent signing on their behalf.

Nailed it!

I don't see McFadden putting anywhere close to the production Murray did. DMF had a lot of tread on his wheels coming out of college, lots of injuries, and has a grand total of one good year in the NFL. Every year he mostly averages under 4 yards a carry and his 20+ runs are mediocre outside of one year.

That said, even a on move back like DMF could find breathing room behind that o-line. Cowgirlies would probably be wise to take Gordon or Gurley though.

They're brother cousins from ARK

Chris Duncan needs to refrain from talking football on the radio.

He called McFadden...durable.
