News: FS: Is Cowboys' DeMarco Murray one of NFL's best backs?

[SHAMSzy]

Good, not great.

You either can't read or have comprehension issues. Never once said it was a bad contract. Re-read the convo and try again when you have a full grasp of my words.

Do you moonlight as a comedian or something? Please tell me then, how do you feel about Romo's contract? I'm sure it will line up with everything you've said previously in your easily searchable posting history.

Didn't stop Jerry from throwing money Romo's way without certainty of Romo never being injured again or a guarantee to take us to A Sb title. Why stop now with a productive player? Jerry didn't have any idea if Romo would ever be hurt again or if he could live up to his contract, bit it didn't stop him.

There's no guarantee of anything when you give someone a big contract. But it's far more important to lock up a good QB than it is to lock up a good RB.

Look around the league. Good starting RBs are cut every season. How often are good starting QBs let go? Why don't many RBs go in the 1st round anymore?

I don't know, what about a Bo Jackson or an Earl Campbell?

Those are HOF type players. Obviously elite talents like those get re-signed in their primes.

Dig out some old Jim Brown film...he'll tend to make one a believer.

heck dig out some old emitt and he will make one a believer.

Murray, under a different coach these last few years, would have been in the discussion.

Around top 5 now. Outside looking in though. Its that spontaneous lack of vision that holds him back.

 

[waving monkey]

It amazes me how nonchalantly people say RBS are easy to replace. Yea, because Murray is just another Top 10 RB to wear the Star since Emmitt left town. We are batting 1.000 when it comes to grabbing complete backs huh?

Pay this man and get it over with. Holding I jury against him is counterproductive when the franchise has shown in the recent past to invest in injury prone players. ROMO AND LEE ring a bell? Running backs are just as easily replaced as injury prone, rookie mistake making, gunslinging QB?

invest in injury prone players like Romo ? where do you get that ? posters amaze me sometimes

Has nothing to do with your original statement about whining from a contract to Murray if he gets hurt. My point was that can happen.to anyone after signing a perceived good or bad contract. Romo could get hurt tomorrow and never play again. Was it a mistake to re up a productive player? No, not even if it happens to Murray. He's worth the investment regardless.

You want them to avoid injury prone players, citing romo as injury prone, then suggest they lock up murray? I feel like there are 2 possibilities: 1. You dont know what you're talking about or 2. Youre trolling.

Search my dude, search. Never chimed in on Romo's contract only his play. I don't knock people for making their paper. Romo can make all the money in the world, just not average more than 32 throws a game for us to be successful.

Again, I guess I just imagined his broken ribs, broken collar bone and back surgeries. Or was that another dallas qb?

 

[Vintage]

I know what you can do too, DeMarco.

Turn the ball over for a TD the other way to set the tone for the season opening loss and then get some meaningless numbers afterwards.

You can also get injured. A lot.

Pffft. Smell ya later.

I find myself agreeing with you more and more lately. Not sure what that means.

Take my like.

Has Romo not had broken ribs, a broken collar bone and back surgeries RECENTLY? Who said avoid injury prone players, in case you're referring to I? I feel like you can't read!

 

[Cebrin]

Two guys in a different Era. I wouldn't sign him for any sort of max deal. Although, I love the guy and wish he could stay. It's just not worth it. Right now, their money needs to be on defensive assets. Nothing else. Sadly, unless Dez gives a hometown discount, I feel the same there. Although, I would feel better about that statement if T Will really stands out this season. If he doesn't, it'd be a pretty tough blow (signing max or losing him).

 

[Deep_South]

I love Murray and I think he's an excellent running back, but I'll admit I'm ambivalent about a 2nd contract. I'm glad I don't have to make that decision.

Fair enough, I just don't think Murray's quite good enough to warrant a big contract from us. The RB position just isn't as valuable as it used to be. If we can get him for a reasonable deal, I'm all for it. And something tells me we'll try to keep him unless some other team makes him a big offer.

He's a good RB but not quite top-flight. I'd rather spend that money on the D. With a very good OL and QB, we can get by with cheaper options at RB.

Now if we already had a great D? Then I'd be much more open to the idea of paying a good RB top dollar, following the Seahawks' model with Lynch.

 

[HappyOnions]

Provided he can stay healthy, I'd rather keep him over Dez if we can't afford both players.


It's true.

Competent running attack > single superstar WR

Not to mention, with the money we'd save by not signing Dez to a ridiculous contract, we could keep Fred, Martin, and probably sign 3-4 other solid players.

Perhaps. But with the OL we have I think we can still do well with an average back. I don't think that defenses are going to dedicate as many resources to covering Murray as they would to covering Dez, and that alone could open up more opportunities for the offense.

Although, if we actually used Murray like we use Dez, then maybe the defensive focus shifts to Murray. But I just can't see that happening with this staff.
