If the loss of running back DeMarco Murray by the Dallas Cowboys this offseason is comparable to a gushing wound, than the signing of veteran Darren McFadden afterwards was the equivalent of a band-aid. Questions immediately arose about McFadden’s infamous injury history and lack of production following his meteoric rise to fame as one of the sharpest Razorbacks ever to come out of Arkansas.
Still, there was at least a semblance of hope that the 28-year old could regain his collegiate form in some capacity behind a stout Cowboys offensive line.
