Yeah but what a great year to do that.
IMO this was Jerry's plan all along. And it's the smart thing to do. It's why they made such an insulting offer to Murray and then never called him back in the lead up to FA. It really was an offer that is made only to say to the fan's that he chased money and it's not his fault that the team's that they left even though they knew before he even offered it that there was no chance of Murray accepting.
It is a GREAT year to be looking for a RB in the draft. A guy like Yeldon who could likely be had in 3rd or so very well might be Murray's equal behind that OL in that system.
....and of course Jones gets his Arkansas guy on his team. I'm kind of surprised no one guessed that he would be their RB even before FA began considering Jerry's man crush on the Arkansas team at the time. Taking Jones in the 1st that year was laughably bad.
Lose one injury proned RB and sign another
Add Dallas to the list of teams considering a RB in the upper rounds.
Except for last year.He hasn't managed to stay healthy yet.
McFadden has never had a season like Murray did. Yeah they are both injury prone, but McFadden much more so. Basically no believes McFadden can be the answer, just a short term fill in. Some still believe that Murray could be the answer, they may be wrong, but it's still up in the air. That's the difference IMO.
mcfadden never had that line in front of him, or a dez bryant and tony romo and jason witten to assist him as well.......hes not murray, but murray did not much for 3 years, now hes just amazing..........i dont get it
This is JUST MY OPINION
But over murray in no particular order
Adrian Peterson
Leveon Bell
Marshawn Lynch
Lacy
Charles
Foster
Forte
Possibly Jeremy Hill
