How did the fluke injury occur??
prudent move or stupid move? It is a matter of opinion.
No team except dallas has ever let a MVP, and rushing champ RB go the following year,but still so many say it was the right thing to do.
How players do on other teams is largely irrelevant to how they would have done with dallas.
We resigned guys this year that if we didnt they might have the same fate , go elsewhere and not do too good.
I can tell you the fluke injury had nothing to do with poor conditioning. If it was a hamstring or a groin injury I may agree but were talking broken bones. The salary cap forces teams to make tough decisions and based on Murrays injury history, number of carries, and longevity of rbs we didnt think he was worth the money. As you can see our running game was still good last year as Murray fell of a cliff. It could be a matter of scheme, but losing Murray didnt have the impact you suggest.
Lastly, though I do agree certain players fit better than others losing guys like Carter and Durant wasnt the downfall of 2015. I would have liked to retain both for lb depth but neither was a game changer.
The primary issue that led to a poor season was of course injuries. Losing your QB, WR, and top corner early in the year would sink anyone. Number 2 was coaching. Cassel and Weeden should have atleast been able to win a handful of games last season yet we were inept passing the ball. The fact that Weeden could win on a team he barely knew the system for has to point to coaching. Lastly, the interior of the line did a poor job generating pressure and containing the run. This can mask deficiencies at each level and made it tougher on everyone else.
