Cowboys may cut ties with new RB before he ever plays a snap in favor of rookie Jaydon Blue

Isn't Blue a better version of Deuce? Why is Deuce still in the conversation?

Let's get serious about this and move the non-hackers.
 
Oh jeez, where do people get this stuff? I’d say it’s at a minimum 50/50 Williams is the week 1 starter but even if he does end up getting cut it isn’t the plan right now. heck, you could say the Cowboys might cut Blue in favor of Williams. I mean Blue is a 5th round rookie who wasn’t even the top back on his own college team and if they didn’t lose two other RBs to season ending injuries over the Summer he might not even have been drafted.

Schottenheimer has preached competition. The best back is going to start and that’s going to be determined by what happens in the next few months. My guess is if a veteran is cut it’s going to be Sanders. He was horrible the last two years.

Not a great point with regards to a running back getting drafted in the 5th round. Do you not remember that Rico was an undrafted FA who i would say is better than Williams.
Being picked in the 5th round (In a very heavy RB draft) doesn't mean Blue isn't capable of out performing Williams.

Sadly, it was noted that Schotty mentioned all of the RB room today... Blue... Williams... Sanders... Mafah... and then caught himself and said something like... "and we can't forget about"... Hunter Luepke.

Deuce = Forgotten man

Deuce Vaughn had a 4.1 ypc average last year. Much better than Javonte Williams' 3.7 ypc average.

Plus, Deuce is much more quicker, nimble and faster than Javonte, so why is Schottenheimer favoring Javonte over Deuce? Just plain stupidity once again with the Cowboys coaching decision makers.

With an improved power Oline that should be able to open up holes and lanes, this would greatly help Deuce Vaughn truly shine for this offense. Certainly much better than a slower, older and beat up Javonte Williams. It's a no brainer who should be kept, but Schottenheimer is starting to look like the average Joe's around here who simply don't got it "in the cabeza" to make better personnel decisions.

Javonte is faster than Deuce. He's also an accomplished pass blocker. 2nd year removed from horrific knee injury, so if he's going to regain his burst, should be this year.

There's not that much difference in their ages.

That's what Jerry said about Zeke last year. Partly why they didn't go after Henry.
Zeke was the answer
 
Deuce is gone. Sanders and Williams are still young and have actually done something in th eleague. Deuce has done absolutely nothing in 2 years. Practice squad he goes. Im actually excited about Williams, 2 years removed from injury. He was off to a damn hot start in the league before he got hurt.

Yup. I posted his rook numbers, and they were very good for a rook.

I like the pick, but you think more than 50% of RBs drafted in the 5th round become NFL starters?
