I think Dunbar should Start

I'm not usually reactionary when it comes to starter decisions, but I think I've seen enough to say that Demarco Murray and this O line are not a good mix. I think Murray would be a better third down back and that Dunbar should start and play first and second downs. He is more explosive and gets thru the line quicker. That is what this offense needs.

I really hate to, but I have to agree with you. Murray left a ton of yards on the field today in various ways. He continues to run to contact when there are cutback lanes and room on the outside. He is a tremendous receiver but he is a liability running the ball now.

Not happy with Murray. He and Romo have not played up to my expectations. But I have an issue with Dunbar's ball security. I'd like to see Randle get a start with Tanner mixed in some. Get Dunbar a handful of 3rd down snaps in the right spots.

I'd seriously consider not dressing Murray for week 3. Light a fire under his azz.

It's a mixture of the Chiefs D being pretty good...

but some of the play calling was abysmal lol.
Dez has an obvious 1v1 and Romo throws a screen, I wasn't even mad..it was like "haha man that was dumb"

Yeah, I like Dunbar but he seems to be infected with the David Wilson disease.

Nope. To small, he can't handle the number of hits a starting back takes. Of course, we only had 13 carries the entire game so maybe that's not as big an issue.

However, until he learns to hold onto the ball, he can't start for us and if he's not careful, he's going to be looking for a job.

We've been through this so many damn times, I'm sick of it.

It's like the position is cursed. We go through this Starter/Backup cycle over and over and over.

I think a change is in order but Dunbar is not the answer, Maybe dressing Randle and giving him a few carries is the right move. The best run of the day was Dunbar but his fumbling problem is too big of a concern. He had the same issues in the preseason so this is a recurring thing. Also Tanner is not the answer so I'd like to see what the rook can do.

That's fine, he had a fumble. But I'll take my chances with his explosive ability over Murray right now.

-Giants Front office agrees. In fact they let go of Ahmad Bradshaw for a guy just like him.

Love watching Dunbar.
but that was a disasterous fumble that cost dallas at least 3 and maybe 7.
But yes, he at the very least deserves a shot.

BTW, mark my words that the Chiefs defense is one the very best in the NFL.
Wait and see.

I don't know who should start tbh.

I think the staff needs to work real hard with randle and Dunbar this week.

I think Murray has been dreadful. He has proven a liability in pass protection, shows no ability to make a big play rushing, seems to have lost all ability to break a tackle and last week made the worst play if the game not going out of bounds which had a spiraling effect on the drive before the half.

I seriously think he has played himself out if the job as starter and I would get randle and Dunbar's pass protection up to speed ASAP.
