Cowboys smart to keep Julius

Todd Archer makes a good case for the Cowboys holding on to RB Julius Jones, barring a team making a too-good-to-refuse trade offer.

To be clear, the Cowboys aren't shopping Jones, but they will listen to offers. Kind of like I'm not looking to get rid of my trusty Honda Accord, but I'll swap it for a BMW if a car dealer is dumb enough to do it.

The standards for tailbacks here is Hall of Fame-caliber because of Emmitt Smith and Tony Dorsett.

Jones is not anywhere near the level of those Cowboys legends, but he's good enough to be the lead guy in a Super Bowl champs' RB committee. He's arguably as good or better than the lead RBs on the last six Super Bowl winners.
