So what you are doing is comparing Emmitt to TJ? TJ had proven nothing over the few years whereas Emmitt has proven himself to be a good back. Sorry Ed, but your logic here is flawed.

Now, I do not believe BB or MB would go so far as to tell Mac who has to play but they are going to shove Emmitt down the coaches throats to try and garner interest in the locals.

Again, I am indifferent to his signing.

I think Emmitt would be a good change of pace back and ad good depth but I do not want him to be our starter unless Shipp gets injured. I just think if we want a backup that we could get one cheaper in FA or in the draft. I think Emmitt is still a good player but at best I would have him split time with Shipp.

I am of the minority opinion that Emmitt Smith has one more "i'm pissed off and have something to prove" 1500 yard season in him.

I know no one believes that except me, but mark my words, the guy is a gamer and he wants to stick it up Jerry Jones's ass.
