So impressed with his pass blocking ability - I have no idea how he can see it, but he was picking up some pretty hectic twists and really doing his part to keep a clean pocket.

I love how hard he runs and his attitude - but I do believe you can find those traits more readily. But his pass blocking ability really is what impresses...I think that will play a huge part on whether he's resigned or let go. Kudos to him on that.

He's a complete back right now. Only thing he lacks is breakaway speed. Team player though and I wouldn't be surprised if we resign him, if he can stay healthy

The worst part about letting him go this year is it will take years for them to develop another back. Can't keep 'em all, though..

He has been a complete back. That's the reason it's so hard to take him off the field when he's healthy, even if Dunbar is "more explosive".

His speed is not that bad, what starting backs in the league today have breakaway speed? He seems to be fine when reversing field and getting to the corner. Had a big one yesterday in fact, may have beem the 4th qtr actually.

I don't see what's special about Dunbar. He hasn't done anything and it's been 2 (?) years.

Dunbar needs to be out in space, dump off passes to Dunbar would seem to be best for him IMO. We also need to utilize Harris more like the Seahawks use their guy.

He fits in nicely with any other premiere back in the league speedwise. No deficiencies there. Murray is the real deal and has been for the last several years. Thanks to Romo's noodle arm, the coaches have no other choice than to feed Murray. As a result, they're finding out what was already known. Murray eats yards for breakfast.

If we aren't going to call those plays, then it's a waste of a roster spot.
