Can we all take a minute and appreciate the much maligned Murray?

[EMMITTnROY]

Dude has been balling this year. Amongst much criticism to boot. He truly looks like a top 5 RB in this league, he just hasn't received the carries. Look at his numbers this season:

ATTYDSAVGLNGTDFDRECYDSAVGLNGTDFUMLST
200 1,073 5.4 43 9 56 48 311 6.5 22 1 2 0

Leading the league in yards per carry, hasn't lost a single fumble, close to 1,100 yards with one game left, double digit touchdowns, half a hundred receptions.

Can we finally put an end to the "we need a legit RB" discussion? DeMarco is a great back. Best we've had since Emmitt.

 

[Questfor6]

Never really been about production as much as it's been about stayin healthy. Don't forget he made a business decision and backed out of playing against Detroit.

 

[Future]

He's been impressive this year, that's for sure.

 

[DEMARC0MURRAY29]

As much as a I love Murray, but top 5 RB? He has to stay healthy before we start talking top 5

 

[crashintonickdm]

Would rather take time to appreciate the man that broke his back carrying all the losers in management and coaching staff

 

[TTexasTT]

OP tries to make a thread showing appreciation...

In comes classic zoner postings about how hes weak, and dont forget that JG sucks. lol



Anyway, yes hes been fantastic along with the line. I find his running style very bizarre. He looks to be leaning really far forward and almost skipping or limping... Dont really of know anyone to compare it to but its working. Hope he can stick around and keep producing for a while. Hes really going to need to showcase his skills this Sunday. 200 yards would be awesome!

He is not "great." I don't throw that term around loosely. He is good. He will be our starter for a few more years. The zone blocking scheme has helped him tremendously. But RB's in this league burn out quickly. He still runs into defenders in open space instead of eluding them. He is a top ten back. I appreciate his production this year.

 

[CyberB0b]

I would try to trade him in the offseason.

 

[Denim Chicken]

And all that while 'running into darkness', lol

Edgerrin James used to have a lean.

PS: Jason Garrett sucks.

Well see how good he is after the eagles stack the box

I'm pumped. I want this win so bad

 

[ANTHONYSCOTT]

I love Murray! For now he' s a good RB. He has to stay healthy, I mean thats what made Emmitt Great. The guy just never got hurt and when he did, he played threw it. Murray just has to stay healthy and continue to run like he is right NOW, and we will be good for years to come!!!

 

[Dodger]

I've always appreciated DeMarco. I'm on record for supporting the pick when it happened. I've defended him on this board many times, and he's been one of the few positives for this team this season. I think had the coaching staff leaned on him more often this year, they may have won a few more games. He's in my sig for a reason...because he's what the Cowboys need.

 

[Gemini Dolly]

Murray is a QB's best friend. Go do this!!!

Adrian Peterson
LeSean McCoy
Jamaal Charles
Marshawn Lynch
Matt Forte

Who is Murray better than?

 

[Risen Star]

As much as a I love Murray, but top 5 RB? He has to stay healthy before we start talking top 5

If he can stay on the field I think he can be top 10ish. He's a really solid versatile back but he's not special, IMO.

Yeah if we had 2 backs like him then we'd be set...

 

[sbark]

A good back. I give a bigger nod to the imprvment the online has given the offense

 

[Nova]

Highest yards per carry in running backs with over 200 carries.

4th most rushing yards per game.

4th most yards from scrimmage per game among running backs

 

[Hook'em#11]

Eating Crow here..

And, I agree , try and trade him at the end of the season.
