Mock and laugh at Jerry Jones and parcells? Please. Sometimes trades work out well for both teams.
We have analyzed Buffalos take on this, and I agree, but for a second look at this from Dallas' point of view.
They passed up steven jackson (124 rushes, 644 yds) For Julius Jones (168 rushes, 670yds).
I do think Jackson is the better back, but it isnt by much.
Dallas got their Running back they despratly needed, and in the process picked up an "extra" first round pick!
They could have stayed with Steven Jackson, and not had an extra first rounder.
Point is, this was an EXCELLENT trade for Dallas. Sometimes in our blue and red colored glasses we fail to see that, Remember though, that just because it was an marvelous trade by dallas, does NOT mean it was a bad trade for us.
