Des-pool Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Not at all...he is obviously in an offensive system that doesn't fit his skill set. Happens all the time. Have you guys had a 100 yard rusher yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joremarid Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I guess that logic also states then that if the Cowboys win without romo then it's not romo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Des-pool Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 I guess that logic also states then that if the Cowboys win without romo then it's not romo.Exactly, it's because of the o line that Weedan will be successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Des-pool Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 What does that have to do with this thread?Has Murray duplicated his success behind Philly's Oline?Murray led the league in rushing behind that o line. He had how many 100 yard games last year? If it was the o line the reason for his success, then the player that replaced him should have 100 yard games also, right?It's simple logic.

Rave Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 I guess that logic also states then that if the Cowboys win without romo then it's not romo.Who said anything about wins?Last year Murray only had 4 games where he didn't go over 100 yards. This year, after 2 games, he doesn't even have 100 yards combined....but he wanted top dollar, SMH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Des-pool Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 If you guys had Murray right now I would like your chances a lot better without Romo and Dez. That is honest truth from me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a combination of the two. However, Murray wanted to be paid like it was all him. Murray has proven the Cowboys right in refusing to offer more than they did.

Demarco is not the style running back you want for a spread type, fast tempo offense like Chip Kelley runs. LeSean McCoy was a better fit than Demarco. You have to put players in the best system for their talents to succeed. Otherwise, you are trying to fit square pegs into round holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could have won a Super Bowl in Dallas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rave Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 Murray's had a tough time and is frustrated. Chip Kelly's offense isn't really conducive to a RB style like Demarco'sThat's what you get when you chase the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Des-pool Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 No argument, but also can't blame anyone for leaving for financial security. You once thought he was one of the best running backs in the league, and now because he went it's all the o line? That's intellectually dishonest. You are a fan, you are upset he left and feel it's disloyal, it's only natural. But he did what he had to do. If Dallas wasn't going to show him the money, then he went somewhere that would. Running backs especially have to get what they can when they can, as their NFL lifespans are even shorter than most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rave Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 Yall should get out of the divisional round before we talk super bowlAre you trying to say if Dallas kept their roster from last year together that wasn't a roster that could compete? Then add Greg Hardy and Dallas' draft class.If you think Dallas wouldn't be a major contender then you're kidding yourself. A better pass rush (and one more catch) and we're talking about whether or not Dallas got passed the NFC championship last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Des-pool Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 And Dallas would have used him without paying him what The Eagles paid him.If someone came along and offered him more money than the Eagles, I am sure he would have taken it. he might take it personally that Dallas wasn't willing to pay him, but if you think money wasn't his main concern, well...

Rave Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 In your division and all the injuries, I still think the boys will compete. I agree, Dallas will be closer to full strength come playoff time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made his bed. Dallas was forced to move on.Would you pay the Murray of these last 2 weeks over $8m a year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Des-pool Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Well, I don't want to pay any running back that type of money in the NFL, most are just not durable enough.But yeah, he would be good in our offense. Phillis offense, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
