Lance Dunbar To Visit Rams **Signs With Rams**

[phildadon86]

This can make or break my day. Really want him gone. I want Elliott there on third downs. Still cant believe he sat on the sidelines in that GB game. Not like he was rested or anything....

I've known Alex for a number of years. This is one of his favorite threads. He enjoys posting it because he knows how much this guts our fan base.

 

[Texas_Pete]

Awesome news.

Looks like my wish came true, get er done rams front office!

Currently, our backups are Alfred Morris and Rod Smith.

I prefer not wishing for our players to sign with another team until we have replacements for them. I understand the sentiment of not wanting Dunbar causing Elliott to be taken off the field on third downs, but would you rather Smith do it?

 

[Chuck 54]

Resign McFadden and just say goodbye to Dunbar.

 

[Sasquatch]

Must pull out all the stops to prevent this from happening. Dunbar is poised to have a big year with all the creative plays being designed for him by Linehan.

The draft is viewed as a panacea for every other position that we have failed to address, why not running back as well?

So help me understand. You are willing to devote some of our limited resources to a player they cannot even figure out how to use appropriately?

Every dime they would pay a player like Dunbar could be used elsewhere and more efficiently.

The sentiment is that Dunbar is taking snaps away from our best player. Why would you pay for the privilege?

 

[rynochop]

Ha is there anyone you'd sign unless it's a one year veteran minimum?

If this is not sarcasm, prepare for righteous and furious anger that you just won't be able to handle.

 

[Silverstar]

Long time coming...purge!

 

[Alexander]

Or just draft or pick up an UDFA to perform the role.

This would be Dunbar's sixth season with the team. Yes, SIXTH.

If it hasn't happened by now, why would we continue to pretend it will?

 

[jwooten15]

Compensatory pick?

Doubt it, but one can only hope. Even if it's just a 6th or 7th, we could probably get more production out of that pick than we did out of Dunbar.

Guess I dodged a close one then.

Let's see 5 years with the Cowboys. Total rushes, 94 Total catches 68. So in 80 regular season games he is averaging a bit over 1 carry a game and less then one pass reception a game. Total salary earned in Dallas 3.7 million dollars over 5 years. So he is averaging 23,000 dollars per touch during his career. In summary, let him go elsewhere.

Five years. Just amazing.

You would think they drafted him in the first round and felt they had to keep trying to justify the investment.

There always seems to be a player like this. Lynn Scott, Kevin Ogletree, Phil Costa. All players that simply are not good but keep getting signed back.

 

[SlammedZero]

I'm not going to hold my breathe until I actually see his silhouette riding off into the sunset. After that, I may throw a block party!

It's covered....

Question: Should the Cowboys draft a RB or re-sign McFadden just in case something happens to Zeke and he's suspended?

Jon Machota: Regardless of what happens with Zeke off the field I think the Cowboys need to draft a RB in the later rounds. They need depth at the position and good backs can be found in rounds 5, 6 and 7. Even though they drafted Elliott fourth overall last year they still picked Darius Jackson in the sixth. Jackson was claimed by Cleveland during the season. I think Dallas will draft a back at some point.

God forbid, if we lose him we will have to find somebody to play all 3rd downs so we can keep our best player off the field in those situations.

we might need him after Elliott gets suspended.
