This JAG is worth three wins over the other JAGs?

Lol. Just admit it

You don't like the other backs. This is a name you've heard of before. And since it represents someone else getting carries, even if it's negligible how much of an improvement it actually is, it tickles your fancy.

Because he isn't worth three wins. He isn't an elite talent.

Neither of us really knows his true worth as a Dallas Cowboy. So those of you that loved our little rbbc configuration as it was can continue to try and break down every aspect of Michael. I'll continue to remain thankful that our FO came through. It's all amusing though. Really. :starspin:

Michael was always Lynch insurance. They don't need it now.

Lynch re-signed. FJax is the vet emergency replacement and BFF. Rawls gives them 4 years instead of 2 for CMike.

Great trade and now we have a complete RBBC.

I'm betting that he didn't want to backup the all pro for another year.

An article you refused to read, since it had Pete Carroll complimenting his improvement prior to the 2014 season.

And this is what you said - "he has never demonstrated the maturity to put in the work to get better at any of the things keeping him off of the field."

I'm asking you, send me a link that says he's lazy and didn't work to improve himself. You posted a link where Pete Carroll said the opposite. For the last time, stop spreading misinformation.

And yet they still didn't give him the ball in 2014 and traded him for a conditional seventh just now. Does your brain not work properly or something?

Here's Broaddus with the same assessment about his skills:

But go on and keep crowing about "misinformation" or whatever.

AGAIN, you stated this: "he has never demonstrated the maturity to put in the work to get better at any of the things keeping him off of the field."

I'm asking you, send me a link that tells us he's lazy and doesn't strive to get better. That's what you claimed, it's right there in the quote. You thinking he HASN'T improved does not mean he didn't attempt to improve. There's a difference, one is a character concern and the other is working but not reaching potential. Are you understanding now?

And sorry, but should we go through the multiple players Broaddus has touted throughout the preseason that has been cut? Because, to you, cut/traded means no talent.

And they kept saying they would be open to adding a young talent at RB, you seem to want to ignore that.

Im pretty I addressed that in my earlier posts. They have been talking out of both sides of there mouth all offseason about the HB situation. I never once believed that they were "fine" with McFadden, Randle and Dunbar

I'll never understand how twisted up some get over adding another back. Maybe it's anxiety over the fact what they thought the team had, they didn't. At least as far as the FO saw it. I think going 4 deep at RB is where you want to be in a committee. I'm excited about CM. Every back here knows he can look good and eventually get paid by running hard for this team.

And that's what teams usually do, so as not to look desperate if a trade comes up.

What should they have done?

Holy crap, I'm done with you. You can't have as much talent as Christine Michael and be so bad that your team drafts you in the second round, won't even put you on the field, and trades you away for a CONDITIONAL seventh rounder -- meaning Dallas isn't even sure they're going to want to keep Michael on the roster or they wouldn't have wasted time with the condition -- unless SOMETHING IS WRONG.

How hard is that for you to wrap your head around? This is a flier on a potential reclamation project, not a surefire thing.

Thats EXACTLY what I said 4 or 5 pages ago lol.

Unless they reached in the draft, signed a guy like Spiller or Bush ( both of whom they were rumored to be interested in until the price got to high) or signed a player with alot of tread like Jackson or Johnson, they had no opening to make a move. Teams seldom trade during camp

I'm glad that we concluded, from the very beginning, you were talking out of your ***. I figured you read a single article and made your conclusion in a hurry. Thanks for wasting my time with making it seem you had information on his character.

And you REALLY need to become familiar with correlation is not causation.
