Amen! Barry was the best running back I have ever seen; he also retired unexpectedly. If he plays as long as Emmitt, we don't even mention Emmitt Smith when we talk about the greatest ever

These are the facts. He wasn't an exceptional runningback. He was tough, and he had great longevity, but he really didn't have any exceptional skills. If he played in Arizona or some other futile team without an O-Line, he wouldn't have TOUCHED that record.
Barry Sanders was an exceptional talent, Emmit was not. If you put Sanders on that Cowboys team and Emmit on that Lions team, Barry Sanders would be the consensus best player of all-time and Emmitt would be remembered as a good RB, and nothing more.
Barry played 8 years and had 15000 + yards, Emmit played 20 and barely surpassed 18000
Henne = Romo with less hype
You'll never have to try and convince me that Barry Sanders was the best RB ever. I know that. I would always try and catch the Lions games when I was younger just for the chance to watch Sanders play.
But again referring back to Smith, speculation of what a player would or would not do if he played on another team is futile and pointless. Also saying Smith was not an exceptional running back is ignorant as well. Emmitt had exceptional vision, great balance and leg strength and was one of the best second effort RB's ever. He was also extremely valuable in the passing game as a reliable receiver and an exceptional blocker in pass protection. I don't care who your o-line was or what team you played for, you don't score 175 TD's in the NFL (2nd only to Jerry Rice) without being exceptional.
Getting back to the post: The Cowgirls can keep the aging Romo and I want an exceptional player in Ingram @ #15.
Romo is a stat QB, he's not a winner. I like him, he comes across as a likeable guy but he just doesn't get it done in big games. QB is about winning, he's been the QB of Dallas full time for Dallas since 2006 and has one playoff win- a WC win at home before getting crushed the next week and in this time period we have heard how talenented Dallas is and they have been a SB favorite every year. Would he be an upgrade over Henne? of course but Romo is not a great QB.
