Does Jaydon Blue seriously have a "fumbling problem"?

[DoctorChicken]

Yes. Absolutely. I believe anyone who says otherwise is kidding themselves.

He was a fumbling machine in college and now he has some of the smallest hands in the NFL.

I would like to see him carry the ball in a manner that allows him to be secure with the football. I'm sure he's aware that it's up to him to use caution, since his reputation is obviously at stake. Many RBs have turned their fortunes around with their fumbling problems. Tony Dorsett certainly was one. It's surely possible to do so. Carrying the football "high and tight" is the key to success. I think he knows it.

Right.

One of my biggest points that I think a lot of Blue critics miss is that he's clutch.

It's not his fault his team didn't do enough. He caught two passing TDs against Ohio in the championship game. Just get the ball in his hands.

Hand it off up the middle, outside, pass it to him medium, short or deep. He's just a weapon.

Remember how Dak wanted Pollard to be? That's Blue....

You're my boy, Blue!

We are lucky to have Jaydon Blue, especially to have gotten him so late in the draft during the 5th round. Blue is going to be a weapon for our Cowboys.

As long as the coaches don't ask Blue to cradle the ball with both hands/arms. Then you end up with a little fullback.

I see that Yoda did not succumb to the t-shirt-wearing idea.

Blue sometimes will carry the ball like he's in the open feild when he really isn't.

Very true. That's his biggest problem. He needs to carry that football high and tight at all times in the NFL, because everybody is as fast as he is and definitely will be running up from behind to strip that football if Blue is carrying it loose as if he broke free.

So much hype and hoopla of rookie Baylen Blue ... but very little to no mention of vet RBs Williams & Sanders

I think Sanders ends up as RB1.

Yes, lad, it is the offsrason, but this forum has an obsession with untested rookies, UFAs, has-beens marginal players and bottom feeders of the draft.

I think his fumbling problem may be exaggerated. Having 5 fumbles in his last 200 carries can be seen as a problem, but he's not a fumbling machine.

 

[KingCorcoran]

I think we can pretty much count on Blue will never fumble the ball in an NFL regular season or post season game.

It reminds me of Kareem Hunt. I think he never fumbled in college. Fumbles on his first NFL carry.

If he starts fumbling with the Cowboys, he won’t be playing.
