Also the guy in the group whose only been healthy for a single season in a contract year who took on a historic workload.

Can't wait to resign him!

If we don't resign him, expect a big drop off at the RB position next year.................no way in hell is a rookie going to walk in and put up 1600-1800 yards his rookie year and neither is the underwear thief or else he would have got more snaps.

Just saying the idea that you can replace a RB that had almost 1900 yards rushing and not miss a beat is being very naïve.

Newsflash, expect a huge drop off either way. Here is every RB who has ever gone over 1800 yards in a season and their next season. And if they didn't make a full season I am adding that.

1. Eric Dickerson...2105 to 1234. 14 games
2. Adrian Peterson...2097 to 1266.14 games
3. Jamal Lewis...2066 to 1006. 12 games
4. Barry Sanders...2053 to 1491.
5. Terrell Davis...2008 to 211. 4 games
6. Chris Johnson...2006 to 1364.
7. O. J. Simpson...2003 to 1125.
8. Earl Campbell...1934 to 1376.
9. Barry Sanders...1883 to 1500.
10. Ahman Green...1883 to 1163. 15 games.
11. Shawn Alexander...1880 to 896. 10 games.
12. Jim Brown...1883 to 1446.
13. Tiki Barber...1860 to 1662.
14. Ricky Williams, 1853 to 1372.
15. Walter Payton...1852 to 1395.
16. Jamal Anderson...1846 to 59. 2 games.
17. DeMarco Murray...1845 to ???
18. Eric Dickerson...1821 to 1288. 12 games, 2 teams.
19. O. J. Simpson...1817 to 1503.
20. LaDanian Tomlinson...1815 to 1474.
21. Eric Dickerson...1808 to 2105.

So, once in History has a guy improved, and only one other time has someone come within 90% of the previous year. 19 times the drop off from a big rushing year over 1800 yards has been 80% or worse.

I think Murray might be able to buck the trend because he doesn't really take big hits and he had like 800 yards before first contact..................the offensive line aided him tremendously and I don't see why that would not be the same next year as well.

Are you saying let him walk and let Randal or a rookie take over?

I would love to have him back...at the right price.

If Peterson offers a hometown deal that is 70% of the deal Murray wants, or better, I would probably take it. Peterson behind this line would throttle defenses.

There are 8 RBs in this draft class that I really like. I might let him walk and choose one of them.

Love the guy. Love his work ethic, attitude, and production. But the fact of the matter is, he just put a whole lot of mileage on those tires, wants a big contract, and there are other options. As I said, at the right price, I do want him back.

Why does one person have to do what Murray did alone?

Why can't two people? Or three? The league is overflowing with rbs who could run well behind our line.

I reject the false premise that it's Murray or a vastly inferior running game.

Why exactly are you willing to pay Murray more than Peterson? If our window is 2-3 years who cares about the age difference.

On the same team Murray should carry Peterson's pads off the practice field.

Age. A lot of mileage on Peterson's tires. He's unreal good though.

And that's why you feel good about his year off if you're looking to sign him.

Also he'll see holes here in Dallas he has only seen in his dreams.

On the other hand, only 20 other times have RBs rushed for 1800 yds in the history of the NFL

None of them were rookies and the oldest was Barry Sanders at 29 years..

I would argue Murray is at his peak, is only 26 and has a tremendous work ethic. He does MMA for fun

Behind this line I feel Murray could be the first to repeat. Remember when no RB that led the league in yards won the SB until Emmitt did it

I am just in no hurry to get rid of Murray over a few million. The team is very young with a ton of great contracts, they can afford Murray

edit Sorry Dickerson was a rookie and repeated, but I stand by post. Being compared to a young Eric Dickerson is quite a compliment.

Did you watch Murray play this year? Delivering blows and taking them too.

Or play at the end of the season? Looked like he was running in quicksand.

Myself didn't think he was running in quicksand. Just that the holes from the OL weren't as open with Free out as before. Pass rushers were making it easy getting to Romo and stuffing the run the end of the season and into the playoffs.

Again, was the defense stopping the run for Randle or Murray? Murray was seeing the 1st team defenses in the 1st half. 2nd half, Randle was seeing more looks as Murray was getting rest, 1st team defenses were of course not as fresh too.

I can look pretty explosive too in spot duty. Ask me to carry the rock 30 times and keep Romo upright though. Then you'll be in huge trouble.

Which is the point.

Why pay Murray good to try and tote it 30 times a game if by seasons end he looks used up?

This is a real man. This is a team player. This, my friends, is what a Dallas Cowboy is.

Not an immature guy who shoplifts and makes an *** out of himself at the police station.

This is the Witten of running backs. The Michael Irvin of running backs A guy who sees loyalty and team from the heart.

Will he take more money to go elsewhere? If Jerry insults him and plays the same gamer he played with Emmitt. Emmitt didn't have the rights to leave, or he would have.

Just re-watched the second Eagle game. The set-up for the touchdown on Murray's TD in the first half was classic Murray. The line made a bubble at the five, and he pushed the pile to the one.

Teams are built around play makers.

This player is special. This offense is special. The window is now.

Recognize.

EXACTLY!!!
