Dawson Garcia returning

That, and maybe even what Carolina did with the Bears. Trade up to get Young, all while giving the Bears a haul AND letting them get Caleb Williams with Carolina's pick the following year.

Hard to screw it up that bad. But you're right, Watson is the worst trade of them all.

If I know the Bears, they will fail despite the steal on the trade. Their fans tell me that.

I’d argue that Herschel Walker was the worst. Although the others mentioned were bad, I think both parties knew what they were getting and giving up. I believe Mike Lynn didn’t understand what he would be giving up when he acquired Herschel. While giving up a boatload of valuable roster players, he lost both them and the draft picks he promised if those players weren’t on the Cowboys roster the next year. Jimmy Johnson cut or traded all of them and used those picks to build a dynasty. The Vikings slumped. Walker wasn’t a great fit in the Vikings offense. Mike Lynn became a laughingstock. It’s still the measuring stick for terrible trades.

IF you are going to trade the franchise for Herschel you have to overuse him. I looked into once and if memory serves, his max carries in any game was 17 or 18. I would have ran him a min of 25 carries per game. Also I would have never pulled the trigger on that trade.

Garcia is 100% trying to get 1 more year based on the North Carolina year. Whether he gets it or not……who knows, but I know for 100% certain he applied for it.

Why not, he is looking at 1,000,000 plus in nil

Ummm yeah......we aren't talking about Dawson anymore in this thread.... :)

But in all seriousness it makes sense for a guy like Dawson to try an stay in college in this current environment as opposed to going pro where he has a solid shot at making it but isn't a sure thing by any stretch of the imagination and might have to go overseas potentially.

He would stand to make a ton of money from us or someone else if he gets another year of eligibility.

We all know Gopherhole threads wander and rarely stay on topic once they get beyond a few pages.....but impressive to see a thread about Garcia returning turn into one about NFL trades from a long time ago.... :)

We should get back on track with tributes to Hüsker Dü & R.E.M.

Agreed.

Run jim Or do the Chuck Foreman thing. Herschel would have been the man in space.

Anyhow you got to use him. He was a yards from scrimmage machine. Who cares if he gets 50 on a play. Getting 4 everytime with our Oline back then would have been like Death and taxes.

Herschel getting the ball would have made that Defense even stronger. The ball was ours.

Would have been nice if Mike Lynn would have realized it was Jerry Burns problem.

Also, i don’t think the picks would have mattered as much of we kept ike Holt and Jesse Solomon. I think that conditional nonsense was the real problem in the trade portion.

It's a smart move by Dawson and the Garcia family. Even if it's a long-shot.

He can make 10x what his salary might be in the job market by playing another season. The G League pays $40K a year. The second round isn't part of the NBA rookie wage scale and contracts aren't guaranteed.

Are there programs out there that would pay Garcia $1M? Who knows. Why not?

Ah. My kids used to work for Greg, and I had the honor of presiding over (one) of his weddings. Brilliant chef and not a bad bass guitar player.

Indeed.

I have had a few interactions with Greg, most in passing, all good. Once he happened to be also getting gas in Red Wing. Some time later I ate at his restaurant in Bay City. Also have said hello to him at a couple of his post Husker gigs, Mould shows, as well as a couple of others.

At Record Store Day a couple of years ago he was signing at The Fetus promoting a Husker live release as well as his new project Ultrabomb. It was late in his run and there was not a line so he was nice enough to chat for a couple of minutes. Really cool.
