    Ranking the Cowboy Seasons

    Okay, here are the Cowboy teams from 1970 to 2014 ranked according to the formula I used based on the criteria I mentioned, i.e., record, offensive and defensive ranked, points and yardage differentials and turnover ratio. Again, the record is weighed 30%, everything else is 10%. Playoff...

    Ranking the Cowboy Seasons

    That 75 team knocked off the best team of the season, the 75 Vikings. There were several seasons in which the Cowboys knocked off the highest ranked team of that season, only once being knocked off as the highest ranked team. That was in 1994. The following year the 49ers were ranked #1 and they...

    Ranking the Cowboy Seasons

    Which Cowboy season was the best in history? Which was the worse? It's difficult to express an opinion because, quite often, it's based on personal experience. However, many fans weren't around in the 70's, 80's, even the 90's. Therefore, the era in which you became a fan would probably get...

    Brandon Carr

    Carr was a classic case of exactly why you don't sign another team's veteran to a giant contract. First of all there is no way to completely separate a player's impact and contribution from their team's specific scheme, talent of other teammates, and success. Carr was a low round draft choice...

    Darren McFadden

    Okay, here are some "interesting category" comparisons between Murray and McFadden. They are both compared among the 42 active RB's with a career total of 500 touches (combined receptions and carries). The last number for each result are their rank among the 42: Yards per Carry: Murray - 4.85...

    Darren McFadden

    Between 2006 and 2014, with Tony Romo the QB, the Cowboys are undefeated (23-0) whenever they ran the ball 54% of the time or more. They were 29-3 whenever they ran the ball 50% or more. They were 44-5 whenever they ran the ball 47% of the time or more. The Cowboys were 8-23 whenever they ran...

    Cowboys bring in RBs for workout

    I agree that the O-line has been overhyped to say the least. Then again, there is this: During the last four regular season games Room threw 13 TD's and 1 Into and qaa sacked only 5 times, fifth least in that period.

    Darren McFadden

    I like Jason Garrett but if I had one major criticism about him it would be exactly what you have described. The position of head Coach is no different than any other. if you are new to the job then there are going to be some lack of experience, there are going to be mistakes. After all, what...

    Darren McFadden

    Um.....yeah..... I'm a Cowboy fan, big time. They have been a part of life for a little while now and I don't deliberately look for negative. I try to mix in both. Being a fan, I can be critical in the same way you might be critical of a family member. You love them but you are concerned for...

    Darren McFadden

    I'm impressed with the fact that you used 370 carries or more as the data pool rather than what most TV analysts have been doing. Many of them are far too proud of the C- they got in "Math for Journalism Majors". They typically use only those RB's that had a season in which they exceeded...

    Rival fans reacting to the Cowboys' signing La'el Collns.

    Great post and right on! It's not even about who will win the starting job. This is all about the addition of quality and talent to the entire squad in general. This is another guy that competes every days making everybody in the squad that much better by increasing the quality of competition...

    Darren McFadden

    And yet, he was the leading rusher for the combined last 5 games of the season with 491. He also carried the ball 35% more than any other RB for those last 5 weeks. There is also the suspicion that, after the rest of the league recovered from their shock, they began to think it might be a good...

    Darren McFadden

    DeMarco Murray is ranked in the middle of the pack for missed games as a percentage of overall games played during his career at 17%. Surprised? He has started the last 26 consecutive games and averaged 105 yards on the ground and 25 yards in receptions. Among active RB's with significant...

    Randle: Murray left a lot of meat on the bone..

    Of course Murray left "meat on the bone." All RB's do. Does anyone believe there has been a Tuesday morning meeting in which they are going over each play and the offensive coaches all agree that, "Gosh, no room for improvement here!." LOL, and Klepto Joe sits there and interprets that as being...
