Jaydon Blue is the fastest offensive player we drafted this century

[KJJ]

You see the problem with that statement is that the cowboys have a long history of not starting certain players at a position where the starter is not playing up to par, but the backup may be more serviceable.

The FO fascination with "we lover our certain guys" doesn't necessarily help the situation either, and is as penciled in as it gets.

Deuce Vaughn isn't a starter, but the guy got drafted based on his family connection, and received carries that should have easily went to more serviceable backs that were behind dowdle such as Malik Davis.

I mean this is a FO that fell in love with Troy Hambrick after Emmitt Smith left, and a blind man could see that he shouldn't have been starting. Woody Dantzler had more potential than that guy.

Point is, this FO has a history of penciling in certain players they shouldn't, whether favorite or contract, no matter how bad they are.

There was nothing wrong with my statement. Our starter RB left in free agency so they’ll be a competition in camp. The FO hasn’t penciled anyone in. Schotty even said during the press conference today they’ll be a competition. You build great teams by having players compete. As for Deuce his odds of making the team have gotten considerably worse. As for Troy Hambrick he made plays until he became the starter.

I just look forward to the "you're my boy Blue!" Cheers

Go Blue!!! Should be our mantra killing two birds with one stone so to speak.

The only players that got penciled in were established players. Once their play fell off, such as Zeke’s they got replaced. WR Roy Willams got benched after Miles Austin outplayed him.

Watching all of the Longhorn games in his career, he only had 200 something carries. He's fresh. With that said, he's gotta step his pass blocking game up, I think that's what held him out of more looks. Furthermore, I don't have a stat for you but when Tre Wisner would get the drive Texas would stall out at some point. We Jaydon Blue would get the drive, they would score almost every drive. He's insane. Dallas has to bulk him up, teach him blocking mechanics then let him takeover the #1 back. He's not a #3 back. He's the guy you want on every drive if you like scoring points.

100% agree.

Me being a lifelong Longhorn fan, you explained Jaydon Blue to perfection. I totally agree. If the Cowboys can make him bulk up 8-10 pounds and improve his pass protection, he coulf easily become a 3 down starting RB.

Just throwing this out there.

I love it. Very impressive.

I remember hearing that Randal Williams supposedly ran a 4.04 one time.

That was the word.

That eventually happened, but the time consuming process it took the cowboys to do that, even when decline had already shown itself is unacceptable. Take Romo and now Dak for example. 8(plus years) of mediocrity for both is crazy business.

They stuck with Zeke until Pollard established himself. Roy Williams got benched after Miles established himself against KC. Romo was playing at a high level and was making a ton of money but never got his job back after he recovered from an injury due to Dak’s outstanding play. We play our best players. As for Dak he’s our best QB. Some of you rather have anyone but him even if they suck. Lance would be our QB if it was up to some of you.

No. He got drafted because they Cowboys hadn't drafted a RB yet and he was the #1 name on their board at the time.

Statistically, Williams was one of the worst backs in the NFL last year.

His pff grade was 61. Cz favorite elite back breece hall was 62. Let me guess.....pff sucks. I know I know

I got to see the Austin break out game in person. We were 23 rows up and he caught that game winning TD right in front of us. It was awesome.

He got an opportunity and made the most of it.

His dad was literally in the war room in jerrys ear. If you believe anything else you are crazy.

You can say that but Deuce Vaughn was a legit college player worthy of being drafted.

What is the probability of Blue being misused? Does he have the frame to withstand the role of a starting RB?

Blue is not the same size as Gibbs, whose 200 LBS is packed into a 3-inch smaller frame, significant for a RB.

What about his propensity to fumble? Is that going to improve against much larger, quicker, and ferocious opponents than in college?

How is Blue anything more than a specialty back, the pass-catching speedster that takes advantage of a worn-down defense, courtesy of the more rugged starter?

I'm not opposed to drafting him here, but he is not the solution to the Cowboys inability to run the ball. The opportunity to acquire that guy faded when the lights were turned off after day #2.
