When did I agree Murray was faster ? His combine time never translated to the NFL playing field.
He was not viewed as a homerun threat back.
The Cowboys' actions by Not re-signing Murray to a long term contract, and allowing him to walk as a FA.. ..tells you what they were thinking.
They don't let players who they consider Core players walk out as FA. ..they get re-signed long term.
Eagles did the RB committee - under Chip Kelly ? Did they do the same " committee " when Shady McCoy led the NFL in rushing under Chip ?
So why could not Murray,? .... who they signed to a lucrative contract.
Murray made Zeke look like a chump. Zeke runs into guys. Murray ran around and past guys. He was also the better receiver. It all showed up on the field and the stats.When did I agree Murray was faster ? His combine time never translated to the NFL playing field.

Murray was in his 5th year and on the downside when he went to Philly. Who knows, maybe they signed him to get him away from Dallas. It worked. McCoy was a hell of a back, chip would have been dumb not to feature him.
In their prime, Murray was the better back. And it played out in the best season for a back in Cowboys history.
