Rushing Leaders 1. Elliott 2. D Murray

[Sasquatch]

I was disappointed when Murray walked but am feeling much better now thanks to Zeke

Good for Murray.

He was a class act when he left. Just sucks he went to the Eagles.

I am happy he fought to he traded to the Titans so I can root for him to succeed again.

Or it could be from playing against run D's ranked 23rd, 27th, 29th, and 31st the last four weeks.

So you're saying sell high in fantasy huh?

I guess. I'd respect him more if he would have said it's about doing what's best for he and his family than saying it was only about a chance to win a championship. It's the same as saying he'd have a better chance in Philly than Dallas. Just keep it real, DeMarco.

Murray would've never housed the one Zeke did. Would've been a gain for 20

 

[AbeBeta]

109 carries, 546 yards, 5 TDs, 5 YPC

People. That's elite.

We've already seen how not everyone can do that with this line

 

[Galian Beast]

Elliott's ceiling is much higher than Murray's. First, I would say that Elliott is already a better player than Murray and only getting better, but he is much younger and has much less mileage.

Murray is a really good running back, I would say on talent alone he is top 10, maybe top 5. Elliott combined with our offensive line is top 3, with Romo, he is probably the best.

Murray still has it. He would still look great here on our team as well. Not as good as Zeke but very good.

That comment bothered me too. After going 12-4 and being robbed at Green bay he said that his best chance to win a super bowl was with the Eagles. C'mon Murray. But I am happy for him. Now he's in the AFC and he's doing well. He's a good guy and he was classy and a good team mate. He did a lot for the franchise while he was here. So I'm happy for him that he's producing.

With that being said I wouldn't be too upset if Zeke sets the all time Dallas record for rushing yards in a season.

Sorry perc part if the reason they are at the bottom is Zeke zipped um

Murray took the money and ran to a division rival. He deserved whatever hate he earned from Cowboys fans.

I didn't give letting him walk a second thought. It was the right call. Getting to see it blow up in his face last season was just a nice bonus.

Zeke hasn't faced any of the defenses that Murray has.

 

[percyhoward]

I don't doubt that. McFadden looked great, and that was without a QB. But that doesn't mean facing 4 bottom-10 defenses won't help your rushing totals.

He is also on a trash team that has looked bad in the passing game. Can you name any of their receivers? Teams can stack the box to stop the running game. Stats only tell a part of the story.

This is a 2 edged sword, really. Dallas' run game made them look bad and get the low ranking. Any defense that plays the Cowboys running game will have a low ranking afterwards.

 

[Star Guard_31]

Not only is Zeke better and younger, he's also significantly cheaper.

 

[MileyDancer]

Zeke hasn't faced any of the defenses that Murray has.

I heard all week how vaunted the Bengals defense was. Zeke ran all over them, including a 60 yarder.

Those are the defenses that have faced Murray, none of which has faced Zeke.

 

[Rogerthat12]

Cowboys past and Cowboys futures are top two in the league.
