Morris signing for 2 years

[DirtDirtDirt]

Why do you say that?

And how he fits on the Skins with a young RB they possibly see as a 3 down back and how he fits on the Cowboys with a fragile vet and an injury prone scat back are not the same. As I said from day 1, if the dollars are low this is a great fit for Morris and Dallas. We need a short yardage and goal line back and a durable guy in case everyone else gets hurt. Doesn't matter to me what Wash or NYG think about his fit with their teams and it's not like we are even bringing him in to be a starter. I struggle to see any down side "IF" the dollars are reasonable.

I struggle weekly watching Rashard Jennings be the lead back for the Giants....That Plodding 2 yards and a cloud of dust Trent Richardson type runner....I guess i see your point, if he is one small piece of a committee, maybe its not a bad add........

Let me give you an analogy

Im a Yankee fan...Chase Headley is one of the best guys in baseball...By all accounts an incredible teammate, individual, and the proudest to be a Yankee of anyone......Took less money to stay in NY, etc.

I can totally appreciate that and Chase the individual

I would also throw a rooftop party like NYC has never seen, if they traded him tomorrow


I think Skins fans should be throwing that type of party today

Chase Headley isn't the best analogy. Headley is a marginal player that hit more than 13 HR's ONCE in ten years. Headley likes the short porch in yankee stadium. For three years, Morris was as good a runner as there was in football.

the money is right and Alf has something to prove behind one of the better olines in football.
Good signing

Agree to dis-agree

Morris had One great season in the NFL, which was 2012, which is basically a lifetime ago for a RB in the NFL....Since than, his numbers have declined every season in every way

Now its my opinion that his numbers have taken a hit, because the Skins realized he isnt the type of back that is successful in todays NFL........Zero Homerun ability, Zero pass catching ability......


Either way, youre happy, Im happy with this move

Lets hug it out

I'm just hoping this hire, along with the DE means that dallas is building up some temporary depth so they can snag wentz or goff in the draft

I'll be the first to say opinions vary.

The game has changed, specialty guys all over football where down and distance requires 3/4/5 guys running onto the field.....but 1200 yards sure beats the hell outta 13 HR's

I think Wentz would be the pick IF San Diego were to draft Ramsey. Maybe it's just me wishing more than anything but I think Dallas stays at 4 and drafts Ramsey if he gets by SD, otherwise, Wentz could be the pick should they elect to stay at 4

1200 yards is 75 per game in a full season, thats decent at best when you cant catch a pass

Not to mention thats 3 full NFL seasons ago

Either way, i will stay tuned, and be looking for you Mister Come September-December!

"The #Cowboys signed RB Alfred Morris to a 2-year worth $3.5M base, source said, with a chance to earn up to $5.5M.""

#46 plays the game for the right reasons....WELCOME TO BIG D

Agreed. Can't wait to see big Alfred running behind the best OL in league. Love it

 

[UK Cowboy]

My opinion is based on production, skill set, adaptability to the game as it is today, etc...

I believe Matt Jones and Chris Thompson were the preferred options on the Skins last season, because they are better suited for most, if not all, NFL offensive system in todays league

Scheme make all the difference. DeMarco Murray was slightly better in Dallas than he was in Philly, no? Romo is better than Cousins, Dez is better than any Skins WR, and Dallas has the best OL in the game .And now they can focus D in the draft .You're gonna be sorry you got your wish

Not too sorry my friend...And 'Romo' is better than Cousins is a very bold statement these days

And thats not a ringing endorsement of Romo

We heard the same stuff from Raider fan last year about DMac. How'd that work out

Healthy Romo is a top 5 QB. Healthy Cousins is a top 20

Smart fans always knew Dmac had all the ability in the world, and it was still in the tank......I never criticized that low risk/high reward move for Dallas.....That was all about him staying on the field, thats always been his problem....And he always had home run ability Morris never had

The arrow is pointing up on one of those guys

Very Down on the other

Hence the word "committee"....DMac, Morris and Dunbar, plus Jerry saying the Cowboys were still looking for a runner in the draft . Looks pretty good to me

I mentioned earlier, not the worse move in the world in a committee.........I like Dunbar a lot if he could stay healthy.....And Mcfadden has less wear and tear than most backs his age

Maybe .Which might lead to the Cowboys taking Wentz or Goff....In which case, we'd have 2 QB's better than KC

Very Down on the other

Only because of his injury risk, not his talent.
