Raise your hand if you think that had the Redskins signed Anthony Thomas for depth Curmudgeon would have ripped the move?

Oh oh me pick me!!!!

I understand that but our D also had a bunch of injuries and if we would have scored 19 points a game last year we would have been around 10-6, 11-5 right???

TAFKAS:

I would have "ripped the move" only after a dozen folks here would have been proclaiming the A-Train as a sure-fire Hall of Fame RB who would have already had several Pro Bowl seasons if only the Chicago Bears had had an OL of any ability and/or a coaching staff who could find their asses with either hand.

Anthony Thomas is a good but certainly not great RB at the NFL level. He goes to the Cowboys to back up Julius Jones. Last year that was done by Eddie George who HAD a glorious NFL career but it is OVER now; two years ago, the Cowboys had Troy Hambrick as their fetaured RB for most of the year and it isn't much of a mystery that Hambrick is a journeyman wannabe.

Therefore, Thomas is an upgrade to the Cowboys' RB situation.

Thomas would ALSO be an upgrade to the Skins as a back-up to Portis when you compare him to Betts and/or Cartwright in that same role. But that's as far as I would go in praising him in his incarnation in Dallas or in some future life here in DC.

Curmudgeon, I thought we had some sort of understanding that you would stop using that Hall of Fame crack...or did someone recently upset you by calling the Skins WRs the best in the league?
