Actually, to be honest, the 49er's might be the dark horse within a couple of years. They've got some young talent. Another year of experience is going to make them dangerous.
This was to happen this last season, but Alex Smith turned out to be as big of a bust as Cryan Leaf. |

Why go after McFadden when they've got Barber, unless he doesn't plan on keeping Barber, which is rather stupid in my opinion. Barber is a horse and a feature back no matter where he ends up. He's a devastating rusher, a good blocker, and he catches the ball out of the backfield as well as anyone in the game. He's the perfect RB for the type of game the Cowboys play.
McFadden will go high...I don't see Cowboys trading up that far to get him, especially when they have no needs in the RB department, unless they decide to create the need. I could see them going after another WR in the first round, but I'm not sold on that McFadden rumor that's been going around. The only thing I could see with that is that they trade Barber for a 1st rounder, then move up to get McFadden and use their other first rounder to get a WR. I suppose that's a possibility, but I still can't see them wanting to lose Barber. He's just too good and is already established.
:D I thought Barber's contract was up and he was gonna be a free agent at the end of the season, or at least that's what someone said. Anyways McFadden is a good blocking back besides being a devastating runner. And his stiff-arm has knocked the helmets off many a potential defender when he gets up a good head of steam. No matter where he goes he's gonna be a good one and will contribute a lot to the team he ends up with. 8) |

| Yeah, Barber is a restricted free agent this year, but last I heard was that the Cowboys were going to try and keep him. I know McFadden is good...he'll bring a head of steam to any team he plays for. I just don't see a RB being a high priority for a team with Barber starting and Jones backing him up. Of course, stranger things have happened... :? |
