I think Jerry and Steven looked at Murray's 4 years with us and thought - the first three years Murray was hurt. Could have he played through these injuries? No one knows, but he didn't play and he hurt our team badly. Then, in his contract year he gets hurt again, and instead of loafing off and stabbing us in the back, he finally plays through the injuries for selfish reasons - to get a bigger contract. You are supposed to play like it is a contract year EVERY YEAR, EVERY PLAY!
And if I were Jerry I would have ran him into the ground with 400 carries with the knowledge that there was no way in hell I'm paying him big bucks when he loafs three years and plays tough for one. JJ and son also know that Randle's production in college was every bit as good or BETTER than Murray's and they were in the same conference. So by grinding Murray into paste, we get him a big contract with another team, we lose the inconsistency of Murray, and we have a replacement who looks on paper and film to be every bit as good as Murray his first four years averaged. I don't give a flying F Murray left and I'm PUMPED he went to a rival. We will collect his fumbles now. We will laugh when he misses 7 games and gets paid $1,000,000 per game played. If I ever saw him there would probably be a fight but I know if I could run 33 yards he would collapse before catching me. Screw him.
