Would Melvin Gordon take Gurley money?

[Aerolithe_Lion]

You’re the ignorant one if you don’t think the system and team he plays on makes a world of difference in production.

So your point is anyone behind your line is all-pro?

The Cowboys offensive line has become a fish story. It gets greater each day Zeke holds out.

Pretty soon all of them - including the back ups - will be headed to Canton.

Lol, nice attempt at spin. That’s not what I’m saying.

MG behind the Dallas OL would be at least 2-3x greater than Pollard or any of the other current RBs on the team. You have to at least admit that much.

Nope.

See my comment above.

 

[BigCatMonaco]

if so, let’s trade Zeke for him and a third round pick and call it a day.

Melvin Gordon averages 66 yards per game rushing.

Zeke averages 64+ just after contact.
Literally without an offensive line he matches Gordon’s production.


But lemme guess, receiving?

Gordon 28.7 yards per game receiving.
Zeke 30 yards per game receiving.

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

Nope.

See my comment above.

When responding to someone aghast that you think he'd be top 5:

He would be in Dallas....anyone who thinks otherwise is deluded and dishonest with themselves.

You didn't say 2-3 times greater. you said top 5. As in Barkley, Zeke, Gurley, Kamara. Legit all-pro contenders. your words.

I bet if MG ran behind the Cowboys OL and Zeke behind the Chargers OL the past three years their stats would be reversed....or no less than equal.

Here you claim MG would have been the greatest RB in the world behind your line, as Zeke was. 2 rushing titles and a third without suspension. He would have gotten Zeke's all-pro with this incidence.

No need to spin it, you really said these things. No, MG is not All-Pro behind your line.

I was talking about a lot more than your post. The Cowboys offensive line has reached mythical proportions in recent days.

Gordon is nothing great. Really good back, but not near what Zeke is.

I need to see Barkley play this year before adding him into that mix.
But agree otherwise.

I think Barkley is only RB who will beat Gurley contract in a year or two.

 

[BigCatMonaco]

I think Barkley is only RB who will beat Gurley contract in a year or two.

Barkley had 16 carries for 32.75 yard per carry average.


The other 94% of his rushes he averaged just over 3 yards per carry.

I would gladly swap guys straight up. And you can bet that Gordon would sign the contract.

 

[Hoofbite]

I'm sure the Chargers would jump at that opportunity.

No kidding. Melvin Gordon isn't anywhere close to being on Zeke's level. Gordon is much more close to Marion Barber than he is to Elliot.

Teams were basically defending the Giants via soft cover 2 zone. Even the number of completions of Barkley are check-downs. Teams stack the box against Zeke. Teams still respect the arm of Manning, even with his deteriorating play.

That's how averages work. One 32-yard carry per week combined with 65 additional yards at 3 YPC would lead the NFL in rushing.

 

[InTheZone]

i'd rather draft a RB in the 4th than bring in Gordon.

 

[BigCatMonaco]

Except, he didn’t.

This, I like Gordon but like everyone I hear on TV and Radio says, he should have jumped at the 10M and no give me Zeke, not in his class.

 

[QuincyCarterEra]

Melvin Gordon isnt worth Bell money.
The guy is Reggie Bush 2.0 trying to get paid like he is Zeke, Barkley or Gurley.

There are next to no similarities between Gordon and Bush, outside of them both having played running back.

Wrong. But I don’t care enough about your opinion to take you to football school on this fine Sunday morning.
You lived this long not knowing your butt from a hole in the ground so not worth my time friend.
Enjoy your day.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

LLLOOOLLL, love this darn board. When feeling bad come here.

He’s a very good back and he’d sign for a lot less.

Also, the ‘boys only need an 7.5 RB to be a contender...not a 9.

Currently they have a few 6’s, which won’t cut it.

This is an EXCELLENT trade scenario for Dallas... IF the Chargers are open to it.
