9) He's saved up a lot of yards in the 27 months since last completing a pass in the NFL

8) Were somehow able to tempt him away from teaching math in Tacoma (no, seriously, he was teaching math in Tacoma)

6) Is familiar with the playbook and system, which should not in any way cause Cowboy Fans to lose faith that these things have not changed in three years, since there is no such thing as personnel turnover or scouting in the NFL
