Decent metrics on Blue

Yeah I don't think many people have concerns over his ability to run. If he can clean up the fumbles and show he can be at least an average blocker the guy is going to be a regular pro bowl caliber player.
If we can open holes for this guy, he will get through them. If we need him to make his own holes, we will have issues.

You put him on the Niners OLine and if he does not get touched for the first 3.5 yards, he will become the new CMC.
 
They're comparing him to Pollard, which I never saw Pollard as a great RB, just an average NFL RB. I'd like him to be compared to DeMarco Murray who was a better RB.
Pollard is not just an average NFL back.

That’s a ridiculous thing to say.

He’s not a workhorse like Murray but Murray was one of the worst RBs I’ve ever seen in terms of vision.

That you don't yet know.

Appearances at present:


Unlike Elliott or Dorsett, who were immediately installed as the centerpieces of the Cowboys’ offense, Blue enters a far more crowded and nuanced backfield.

The Cowboys appear committed to a backfield-by-committee approach, with veterans like Javonte Williams or Miles Sanders likely handling early-down and short-yardage duties.

Blue, while explosive, is being positioned more as a change-of-pace option, better suited to outside zone runs, third-down plays, and packages that take advantage of his agility and pass-catching skills.

Murray was more physical, not going to happen.
