muskokas finest © Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 That's not the reason he's getting attacked anyway. The OP did say we were Dimitroff'd because we didn't draft Murray and we took Quizz in the 5th. He has used the terms "star" and "franchise" RB in his posts about Murray. Usually followed by "trust me".I am not a post digger. I'm not about to look through 16 pages of this thread and 3 different threads (2 last year plus this one). But he definitely thought it was a huge miss by TD and was very vocal about it after Murray had his breakout game last season. Trust me."Franchise" RB is a very different term nowadays. I mentioned Jamaal Charles. Do you consider Jamaal a star or franchise RB? Murray reminded me a lot of Charles and Demarco's career is off to a better start.Let's be blunt. People want to ridicule the OP because he doesn't munch a$$ the way others here do. To that end they make fun of his posting style. I've knocked heads with the man many times. Surely you can find a better point of contention than Demarco Murray.As to the post digging, all I do is go to Google and search <user name> + <boards> + <falcons> + <relevant keyword(s)>. Simple stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muskokas finest © Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 The OP said he would take Murray in the 1st round. You don't draft a RB in the 1st round to be a role player.David Wilson? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muskokas finest © Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 We all know what he meant.Buddy will probably bump this thread a couple more times this season.It will be even better in the 2014 offseason. Trust me. Please dig it up in February 2014.Yeah, he says "you don't know what I meant", but by not clarifying he proves what he said was what he meant.

4dabirds Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Demarco Murray in 2011.He was the one guy I wanted in the 2011 draft more than anyone.I would have taken that mofo in the first round. No kidding.He will be a beast. Trust me.We might be undefeated if we had DM. Oh wait... We are. I'm glad we got Julio, but Demarco would a nice add.

Peyton Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Name the poster who came up with this quote?"The main reason I was so down initially on the trade up for JJ is because I thought losing all those picks might prevent us from getting a quality complimentary RB like Murray - a position I felt going into this draft was as big a need (or bigger) than WR." I'll give you a hint. He's the one nagging the OP. Here's the link.....it's post #29http://atlantafalcon...dgers?pid=60347That is effing hilarious actually.

NOVAFalconFan Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 That is effing hilarious actually.Not really. I see a fairly significant difference between saying a guy would be a good complementary back and saying that a guy will be a beast and should have been a first round pick. It's like one poster saying Laurent Robinson could have produced as a 3rd or 4th option for us last year and another poster saying that we wouldn't have needed to get Julio if we had kept Robinson. There's also a large difference in the style of the deliveries. One poster sounds like he is trying to imitate Ric Flair, and the other sounds like a somewhat normal person (solely my definition of "normal," admittedly). Fine with me if you find it hilarious, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperbh Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Yeah, he says "you don't know what I meant", but by not clarifying he proves what he said was what he meant.I clarified it just fine.

cooperbh Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Buddy will probably bump this thread a couple more times this season.I'm sure you'll do it for me the next time Murray has a halfway decent game.At which point I'll just bump one of your "Laurent Robinson is a beast" threads.

Fine with me if you find it hilarious, though.Our WR unit would have been as good if not better as Roddy, Laurent, Jenkins, HD and Torrey Smith/Randall Cobb/Titus Dixon. Plus we would have had four additional picks for DL, OL, LB and CB. Jeez.I believe Murray was projected as a first rounder in some mock drafts. He would have been the perfect compliment to Turner in 2011 and 2012 and primed for taking over the feature back role in 2013. I know this is Bleacher Report but check out their 17th pick in the 2011 re-do draft.

UDFA and he's doing well in New England right now, though he's currently out with a bruised knee. At least he isn't an injury waiting to happen like Murray.

I love it bro.You're still on Laurent Robinson and Michael Jenkins for whatever reason even though Robinson may have to retire due to all the concussions he's taken over his career and Jenkins is the #4 WR in Minnesota, and it's not like they're rich at the position. Get over your player crushes and people will bother to "trust you." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooperbh Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 (edited) Somebody went on a post bumpin mission yesterday and stepped on his weenie. Embarrassing aint it?It may take you all day to dig up a month old thread. Takes me but a few seconds. Hardly a "mission."And what exactly do I have to be embarrassed about? Yes, we both liked Murray for various reasons going into the 2011 draft. Only one of us, however, pompously claimed that he was a 1st round beast and that TD was clueless for not reaching for him.That someone is you. Hence, why the egg is currently thick on your face, not mine. Edited October 21, 2012 by cooperbh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pzummo Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 "Franchise" RB is a very different term nowadays. I mentioned Jamaal Charles. Do you consider Jamaal a star or franchise RB? Murray reminded me a lot of Charles and Demarco's career is off to a better start.Let's be blunt. People want to ridicule the OP because he doesn't munch a$$ the way others here do. To that end they make fun of his posting style. I've knocked heads with the man many times. Surely you can find a better point of contention than Demarco Murray.As to the post digging, all I do is go to Google and search <user name> + <boards> + <falcons> + <relevant keyword(s)>. Simple stuff.I do not think Charles is a franchise back. He is a star RB and is great when healthy. But you can't build your franchise around an injury prone RB. If you do, your franchise will suck when he's not playing. Now I could be wrong, he could overcome his injuries and prove that he is a franchise back. But one great season surrounded by injury riddled seasons does not make a player a "franchise player".I only consider guys like Emmitt Smith, LaDanian Tomlinson, Ray Rice, etc... franchise backs.I think he gets a lot of **** because he constantly harps on some of our best players and the guys directly responsible for our success. Harping on TD when he's a big reason we are a consistent winner. Or Mike Smith when he's been the most consistent coach we've ever had. Or Matt Ryan when he's working on every Falcon QB record in our history.Some times he has a valid gripe. Rare, but occasionally. The entire Murray thing being proof that TD sucks or is not doing a good job is ********. TD has been a great GM for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TD has been a great GM for us.The distinction between "franchise" and "elite" would make an interesting topic on it's own. I would argue that KC has their franchise RB because he is able to be amongst the league's most productive backs. Concussion and injury protocols, as well as a shift away from the traditional "bell cow" RB alters what being a "franchise" RB entails.
