Have to say-this guy is becoming frustrating to say the least.

Matt Forte was supposed to be gone four/five weeks and he plays against the Boys with basically one leg a week after injuring himself.

Is this another case of the Cowboys, once again, coddling players??

Murray seems to be another in a long line of flash in the pan Cowboy RB's. This is dissapointing. I hate to say it, but unless someone else steps up, it's a need next year. Going forward with just Murray/Jones is a handicap.

So I guess that means he is fine and he will play this week?

cowboys are learning the hard way that he is not a workhorse type back. that running style is going to catch up with him quick. i bet we spend another draft pick on a rb next year.

If there's a RB we like between rounds 2-4 in the draft this year it might be wise to pull the trigger. I like Murray but everyone knew about his durability issues coming out of college so it's not surprising it carried over to the pros.

DeMarco has shown he can be an elite back and I still believe he will. I said the same thing about Sean Lee and I'll stand by it. Murray will be a pro bowler and so will Sean Lee.
Murray will never be a Pro Bowl RB. He will never play a full season.

We need to draft a reliable RB. Doesn't have to be AD quality, just someone that can get positive yds and stay healthly. We knew Murray had injury probelms in college, but chose him anyway.

If Felix can ever get and stay healthly, we will be OK at RB this year.

How quick fans turn on a player.

I love Murray potential but it seems he can't stay healthy. Look at what Doug Martin has done for Tampa bay. Literally has made them into a playoff contender. We need to address the oline and running back early in this offseason

Would be nice to have that Ray Rice/Doug Martin type back. But I think Garrett and Jones prefer the "track stars" like Jones and Murray. It hasn't work out with Jones as he will be gone next year, we'll see about Murray. So far it's not looking good for him either.

Murray is not a track star.

Glass Murray
The toothbrush had to be invented in West Virginia, if it was created anywhere else it would have been called a teethbrush.

He's good, but not good enough to keep waiting year after year. Keep drafting RBs and sign undrafted RBs. Luckily, we might find another Murray (who can stay healthy) or possible Morris/Martin.

A lot closer to track star than lunch pail types like Rice/Martin.

Do all you guys think the same thing about Lee?
You've been weighed

You've been measured

And you've been found to be a casual fan

That's your opinion and you're entitled to it. Mine is he will. We'll wait and see won't we?
