Hate it! But say goodbye to DeMarco?

[crazytown41]

Meh. Let him walk. Still cant get over him fumbling in the GB game. Too careless to be paying him big money. He'll do it again in a big moment...

 

[Dave_in-NC]

And you classify 'taking' the best running back in the league as 'dumb'. Makes your position crystal clear.

Sat out a year, legal troubles and age. He may HAVE been the best back in football. What happens if he decides to take another stick to one of his kids?
He didn't think he did any thing wrong. Great gamble over a guy who is already on the team and owns the NFL rushing title. Who helps an aging QB.

 

[Dave_in-NC]

Didnt you know Murray is better then AP? I heard it here so it must be true

Some one on here did a stats comparison not to long ago. AP isn't that much better to risk it. He just isn't.

 

[Dave_in-NC]

I mean puke everywhere. Like all over my cloths. My computer. My carpet.

Snap a quick pic. This should be funny.

 

[coult44]

AP wants to play where the biggest check is. Don't be fooled.

I don't think so. I think AD would play here just to have a chance to win a SB and redeem himself...

We will find out soon enough I guess. But don't under estimate the power of money. Seen to many "want to win a SB" player take the top dollar.

AP has also played on Minnesota. Enough said IMO. We will see how this plays out, at the end of the day, we dont have any control just fans giving opinions

All that is true. Remember though, we have only had this oline one season.

Christian Ponder
Tony Romo

Cmon now...

You're right, at the time he did it, he didn't think he did anything wrong. That was how he was disciplined as a child too. But how about now? Do you think he's learned that what he did is no longer an acceptable form of punishment? I think he very clearly does.

How would Peterson and his superior abilities not help an 'aging QB'?

I don't see how getting what is widely considered by the vast majority to be the league's best running back is a 'gamble'.

I'm not chasing Murray out of town, I think he will leave for greener pastures in his own. And if the league's too running back is looking to play for my team? Sign me up!

 

[xwalker]

If the mediot reports are true and the Seahags have offered Marshawn over $10mil to play next year say
adios to DeMarco Murray. There will be several teams out there including title contending teams (Indy) that
will make a sweetheart offer to him and I think it highly likely he will reluctantly take it because the Cowboys
will be hamstrung with the Franchise tag on Dez. I know there are several DeMarco clones in the draft this
year and probably a bridge to a new bellcow in Mark Ingram, but I really hate to see him leave because
of the connection he has with this line and Romo.

Oh well! Loss is a heavy burden in the salary cap era!!!

You didn't use enough exclamation marks.

It wouldn't help the Murray situation if the Seahawks give Lynch a big raise. If he leaves, he leaves. They'll find somebody to run behind this OL. I think the reason that Peterson might want to come here is that he thinks he can really blow up his career stats running behind this OL.

Yeah because we have never seen players make the same mistakes twice.

Can he stay in and block like Murray?

I don't see how getting what is widely considered by the vast majority to be the league's best running back is a 'gamble'.

He's been up and down his whole career, how is he the best?

The leagues top RB is already on our team. A fair offer might not make him leave for greener pastures.
Your wanting to bet on AP maintaining his brilliance which has jumped all over the place. I'm not.

You're in the small minority of those who think that Murray is a better player than Peterson. And nobody outside of a few Cowboys fans would agree with you on that. But as I said, if Murray is willing to take a reasonable deal, I'm not changing him away.

Your wanting to bet on AP maintaining his brilliance which has jumped all over the place. I'm not.

That's fine, I understand your position, but you're not doing a great job of making an argument to support that position.

 

[RastaRocket]

"Several" Demarco clones in one draft? There isn't even "several" in the league. Now, I'm not high on paying 10+ mil for a running back but he is not easily replaceable like some people think. We will be able to run the ball effectively with a different back, but it will not be the same as having Demarco (unless it's AP).

 

[MichaelWinicki]

He'll get at least 3-5m

That's a pretty wide range quite honestly.

I don't see Ingram getting $5 mil per season... I really don't.

 

[Bowdown27]

I like Demarco but he has never stayed healthy. I don't want to pay a man top dollar who could have broke out because of his contract year.

 

[big dog cowboy]

If the mediot reports are true

That is a big if. Has anything really changed since the season ended to lead anyone to believe the Cowboys don't want him back? Don't buy into the media and what they are reporting so easily.

 

[Nightman]

That's a pretty wide range quite honestly.

I don't see Ingram getting $5 mil per season... I really don't.

Toby Gerhart got 3.5m last year and he is and was terrible.

I'm sorry I can't more accurately pinpoint the dollar amount Ingram will get on his next deal, but my point is that it won't be that cheap.

I was responding to a poster that wanted to let Murray go, sign Ingram and use a 2nd round draft pick on a RB. I thought that was too much to throw at the position considering we already have Randle and Williams.

Point taken.

Rashad Jennings received a 4 year, $14 mil contract from the Giants. I think Ingram gets similar.

That is why that reported 4/16m offer to Murray would have to be considered a very low ball offer. I think a 5/35m with 12m guaranteed would get it done with Murray.
