Best Jaydon Blue Comp

Lance Dunbar until he was injured.

Ugh. Dunbar had a very niched role. Useful but very limited. I'll be disappointed if he's Dunbar 2.0 or close to it.

Emmitt squatted over 700 pounds. Reportedly as high as 775.
He combined elite leg strength with enough quickness to never take a direct hit.
Thats why he had the longevity.

That's a serious number! Powerlifter class.

I agree ..... thats why i would.be dissapointed if blue was not considerably better

If Blue was a better runner than Pollard in college, and Pollard adjusted decently to nfl than, Blue should be capable of doing better.

Saying that Blue may be a disappointment is saying the guy may be incompetent of knowing the concept of running behind a line.

Duece was a better runner in college than Pollard and Blue.

He is just 4ft tall.

pollards first 3 seasons I'd like to see blue do something like 2021 I think given the fact that he won't be fighting a surefire starter they can increase his snaps after each game as long as they don't burn him out that would be respectable as your second guy in and as your change of pace guy to have between 500-800 yards and hopefully 5-8 touchdowns.. TP was battling Ezekiel Elliott for that short yardage around the goal line, or I think Pollard would have more touchdowns, but that's what this should be expectation wise for blue..

2021	Cowboys	130	719	5.5	2 2	39
2020	Cowboys	101	435	4.3	4	28
2019	Cowboys	86	455	5.3	2	15

Indeed. I also really dont know where some fans are getting this idea that we have two sure starters ahead I Blue that will keep Blue the #3 guy.

We barely had a warning game last season. We sign Williams and sanders and all of a sudden we are all world at the RB position.

Imo Blue has more potential than both. I dont worry as much because I know the cowboys are capable of doing cowboys things.

If non of the RB ahead of blue are playing up to snuff, then the cowboys will start giving blue a bigger load than some cowboys fans anticipated.

I could live and die on that sword as a cowboys fan.

Blue isn't 4ft tall and duece was more of a project, and imo a good deed draft pick, wheras the cowboys actually have plans for blue.

Imo duece could have been undrafted if not for the cowboys.

But at the same time if he ended up a free agent in a team selected him and actually used him more..

he can probably be closer to what Turpin is for us but that's the problem we already have Turpin he's a better version of Vaughn but Vaughn needs to be playing all special teams returns, and then get mixed into the offense with special packages, but we already have that guy, it's too redundant, I think Vaughn can still be a solid contributor somewhere but not here.....

I don't think the Cowboy's thought Turpin was going to hold up at his size, he's so small he takes some big hits, and keeps getting up he's not been injured from what I can remember, not anything significant.

I don't think they thought he would hold up and they brought in Vaughn just in case, but they never needed him.

But I agree people are mistaken Blue who's the exact same size as Jamyr Gibbs with the same speed and yet they act like he's some gadget player, I mean he's not a guy that can carry a heavy load, but people are underestimating his skill set, like they're seeing him as just a gadget guy. Thats not the case.

Imagine if our running backs got the run behind a line like Barkley or Gibbs has, I mean anybody noticed how great their offensive line opens holes all the time, they have a creative play caller. only one could dream.

 

[blueblood70]

Ugh. Dunbar had a very niched role. Useful but very limited. I'll be disappointed if he's Dunbar 2.0 or close to it.

Yes, it would,

but there's significant difference here is Murray was the lead back, total workhorse, then we drafted Ezekiel Elliott, when those guys were in their prime the backups weren't going to get many snaps ie ES22,

so Dunbar just get lost in the mix, I don't even really remember his game,

but he was here when he wasn't needed right now our running back room is wide open, we're in desperate need for playmakers and blue is a playmaker, he's a spark plug....

the dude always seemed to make the play with the Longhorns when they were having struggles on offense, whether it was in the pass game or a big run... he just seemed to step up whenever they needed him and I believe he can have a larger role not a full time starter, or the guy takes too many snaps, but I can see where he could be 40% of our running back room by mid season..

I can see him being Tony Pollard rookie year in his first three years in the league backing up Ezekiel Elliott you know Ezekiel Elliott was starting to decline right around that time and it was a perfect time for Pollard to come in and that's what I'm expecting from blue nothing close to a workhorse or a three down back but more than Dunbar...

if it works out, but sure nobody knows for sure... can't wait until PS games start this RB room knows they all will have to earn it and will be running hard..

 

[big dog cowboy]

duece was more of a project, and imo a good deed draft pick

Taking the top player on your board when your on the clock is a good deed draft pick now?

 

[blueblood70]

Taking the top player on your board when your on the clock is a good deed draft pick now?

was he? I mean do you remember anything past the 5th round in drafts like who was that available and who they took or could have took instead because I don't come on man let's be honest but I saw this kid play and I believe he's just on the wrong team he's a special team's ace that needs to be on both return units and then he can work his way in to the offense with a coordinator that actually can scheme plays you know design some stuff packages for players like this..

I think Vaughn failed here because it was redundant Turpin can do all those things and slightly better so Vaughn was really a back up for Turpin and Turpin just never seems to go out of the game and in that estimation Turpin wasn't even getting enough snaps on offense because of Mike McCarthy you know it's insane how this coaching staff just waste talent sometimes..

And again I just call it redundancy, we already have Turpin, they do the same things and I believe if this kid was a free agent ended up on another team that actually could use him, he could be a lot better than people are accusing him of just being a bust,

I just think he can utilize better on a team that needs a special team's returner, and a little spark plug every once in a while, on offense, not a guy that came in and garbage time games that didn't matter and they just ran him up the middle..

I mean yeah right, he has no stats because you took a guy and let him do clean up at the end of games whether they were blowouts one way or the other he didn't get any true legitimate opportunity's that suited his skill set IMHO ....

What about Brian Westbrook? 5'10", 203. Once he became the main back, he had a 1200 and 1300-yard season, even leading the league in yards from scrimmage one year, garnering an AP 1st team award. Would you be happy if Blue could replicate what Westbrook did for the Eagles?

I would be happy if Blue can replicate Giovani Bernard. Austin Eckler. Justice Hill. Samaje Perine. Guys like that. Anything above that is gravy.

 

[Pass2Run]

At best, I see Blue as a high end 3rd down receiving RB a la Ronnie Harmon. I don't see Blue as a RB1 due to lack of physicality. How will Blue respond when he gets hit in the mouth during TC or preseason? Does he have the mentality to tighten his chinstrap and run hard again or is he looking to run out to the slot?

I'm not into hyping this young man up into something he's not because most times what you get in college is how he's best used in the league. So, again, I'm looking for Blue to be the next Ronnie Harmon, I belive that would a great career for him.

Harmon was 5'11 200 with 4.3 speed, same as Blue, and I see many similarities making Harmon the best comp for Blue.

Shorter and to the point video:

Before i was a Cowboys fan, I was an Oilers fan. I remember Harmon.

I still say Achane though.

Deuce was, at best, UDFA material.

Deuce was, at best, UDFA material.

Blue is no basketball center. He is a massive 5'9. He is much heavier though.

 

[Mr_437]

I hope he is Achane, don't get me wrong. Achane is a yearly fantasy pick for me since his rookie season.

Westbrook was so good.

 

[starfrombirth]

Pollard was bigger

Put if Blue is not considerably better than Pollard i will be dissapointed.

Blue is faster, so the tradeoff is interesting. Blue is also more elusive and a better receiver. I look for good things from him. I don't expect him to be the 2nd coming of Barry Sanders tho.

 

[conner01]

Blue can be a great weapon ...... but he is not gonna be a Jason Garret run up the middle 3 times in a row type back.

They need to use him correctly.

Get him on the edges some, use him in passing game some. Just get him the ball in space

 

[speedkilz88]

Emmittt was 5-9, 209 when he came into the NFL. And slower. Same thing was said, small, slower, how will he do. Though he was a consensus 1st round pick.
Blue was a lower round pick, but mainly because he was not the starter as a possible reason for that.

Emmitt was actually 5-9 1/2 199 as a rookie. He wasn't 209 until at least a few years later.
