GB: Dallas Cowboys newest running back isn't fair

[Bamx]

Exactly, the negativity is through the freaking roof. The guy didn’t even step in the field yet and everybody is like he’s the worst person in the league.

I'll say this. He will more then likely be better than Dowdle ( and Zeke from last year). I also think he will be right up there with Pollard and maybe even better.

It's not like he has huge shoes to fill.

If Mountaineer was your target, maybe you should take things up with him in a DM or something. You criticized newer forum members in general though.

Elephant talk, King Crimson

I hear you, brother. There's a fine line there. There are so-called fans that wish we lose, wish harm and even death on a certain player. After that last playoff loss to GB, I'm not the biggest Dak fan anymore. But since he is still the QB of our team, I will root for him. I would never wish him death like one here did. Believe it or not, that post is still up. We can wish injury and death on a player we don't like, but yet we can't say ___ on this board. Like I said, this board is backwards.

And I'm going to get in trouble for violating rule #13, but several here violate rule #4, #8 and #9 on daily basis.

Absolutely 100% correct. And it's disgusting.

Blue will be a good change of pace & perimeter back but lacks the strength to consistently run inside. .

Landry said this about Dorsett. No point, really.

Blue is decent at blocking.

He’s just not going to stonewall guys.

But knows his assignments and shows effort.

That’s what’s important. It’s great to see a RB put a rusher on his back but the assignment is just protect the QB and many times that’s done by just redirecting the guy. The more I see him on tape the more I think he’s gonna be great in this system. Running the ball is the key to the passing game too. Slows down pass rush and keeps LB’s and safeties peeking at the LOS

While Blue is a big play potential weapon he also has had a tendency to leave the ball on the ground. But should be a solid 5th round pick.

Not if he fixes it.

Zeke fumbled in his first (maybe second) nfl game. Then the were practicing ball security and he got much better.

Murray for example had a habit of going for extra yards and fumbling in big moments and basically said he wasn’t going to change how he plays or holds the football.

Lol. There’s a difference in mentality there.

Second.. and I think it was twice for which he was essentially benched the rest of that game. Fumbles happen .. it's a fact of life. The good ones just don't let it happy very often. Zeke became one of the best in the league at ball security before Covid got him 2020. Then after that year he went back to basically never fumbling. Even Emmitt fumbled a lot his rookie year. Like I said.. bigger, stronger MEN in the pros as opposed to what they saw in college. There's an adjustment.. but the great ones make it.

Its totally different with the Cowboys though. Since its been close to 30 years of misery now, the pessismists dont have to "prove" their pessimism anymore. Thats like asking someone to prove gravity by letting an apple go from your hand. It will show the same behaviour the next time. I saw the light in 2021 after that KC game, for many others it was the Green Bay game last year. Others stuck to their optimism. Thats totally cool, each to his own. But don't give me this debbie downer crap.

Lets get rid of Dak and Jerry needs to step down (AND Stephen not taking over, or at least hiring a true GM). Then we're talking.

It's exactly the same with the Cowboys. As I said, professional sports are entertainment, nothing more. If the operations of the Cowboys affects you mentally or emotionally, you should probably cheer on another team or get therapy. There are too many real problems to deal with than to focus negative energy on a sports team.

Your last comment shows it perfectly. The Jones family is never going to hire a GM unless Jerry and Stephen are dead, and I'm not sure there wouldn't be another Jones who would step in then. The tired 'get rid of Dak' line when you know he's in Dallas for at least four more years makes me wonder why you bother even tuning in to watch a game.

If you 'saw the light', why do you bother continuing to be a fan knowing that the changes YOU think are important simply are not going to happen?
