Why Sooner Fans Should Reconsider Cheering For Dallas Cowboys

Would you do it? Would you seriously consider changing the NFL team you cheer for?

Many Sooner fans have been in mourning over the past 24-48 hours. The reason being is that many Sooner fans also double as Dallas Cowboy fans. If you are a diehard Cowboy fan, you automatically hate the Eagles. With the trade bringing Sam Bradford to Philly and Demarco Murray signing with the Eagles in free agency, a rooting conflict has now arisen.

One of my friends even remarked with a few choice four letter words in disgust over what has taken place over the past few days.

From purely a football perspective the Bradford trade has to be a breath of fresh air. It's easy to debate the merits of trading Foles for Bradford, but for the Sooner fan who wants to see Bradford succeed this a great fit. Chip Kelly runs a fast paced offense predicated on a QB making quick decisions with the ball in his hands. That sound like an offense tailor made for Bradford.

Regarding Demarco Murray, this was his chance a big payday. A short shelf life for running backs is the norm in the NFL. Teams see them as expendable, and they usually begin to hit a wall as they approach 30. Murray cashed in on his big season Dallas (5yr/$42 million) and now the same backfield that set all sorts of records in Norman is back together.

Another former Sooner great shared his thoughts on the moves by the Eagles:

Last time Sam Bradford was in a fast paced no huddle offense like Philly's he won the Heisman!! Just saying. If he stays healthy watch out!!

I for one can't wait to see what this duo will do again in Philly. In fact if I were a Cowboy fan, I might even consider changing my favorite team.
