I think the exact phrase that caught my attention was running backs are a dime a dozen. made by several posters in multiple threads over the last few weeks..

Draw your own conclusion, but when you use the word fabricated as in this post above:

Some might believe words have meaning and fabricated means manufactured, or in this instance, made up. Which is tantamount to lying.

But I guess a hater's gonna hate.

I'll let my earlier post on the topic of lying stand on its own. It was pretty clear.

If anybody said 'just draft someone' or 'pick up right where Murray left off,' you might have a point. But nobody did. But when you have backs like Eddie Lacy (61) or LeVeon Bell (48) going in the second round, well...let's just say they're not Joe Shmo's from Anywhere U and that both of them--or a young player like them--could do an adequate job in Dallas in this offense next season.

And I didn't ask you to link to anything, so there's no need to link me every time you see something referring to replacing Murray. As a general rule, though, if you're going to make an unsupported claim on a message board, it's a good rule of thumb to expect that somebody might ask you to support it at some point.

You're asking for proof of Murray's expendability as seen by the fans on this board that's why I offered to link you to those claims. You seem to have a propensity to take things very literally so I'll cut out the metaphors for you... what I've seen and what I'm literally claiming is that I've seen quite a few posts around here stating that the credit for the success of the run game lies mostly with the O-line, and that Murray would be easily replaced by a draft pick or any of his understudies.

Are those enough to substantiate my claims or you want more from the the official forum?

You've flattened out the argument to include examples of very normal comments I wasn't questioning for most of these, and I didn't ask you for the link in the first place, but a few of these from other threads are actually really good examples of the argument you're apparently trying to make.

Kudos for supporting a point, even if you're intentionally going overboard just to suggest doing so is unnecessary.

You asked earlier for quotes (specifically I saw the dime a dozen line being mentioned, that's the second link btw) because I guess you thought these points were just being conjured up out of nowhere (fabricated to quote you), whatever the case I think this conversation has run it's course.

I think it is a combo much like the triplets of the 90's Dez brings the fire, Murray and the OL bring the physical hammer and Romo brings the grit.

When speaking about the Cowboys for the rest of time we should always be a team with flash that can hang their hats on a strong run game. That is Dallas Cowboys football.

A Beast running game has always been a staple of this franchises success and we should work every year to retain that.

How far you've come, CATCH, on the Demarco Murray train. I know you've made your peace with that pick a long time ago, but I still can't see you in a DM thread without thinking of your reaction on draft day. You just never know how a guy is going to turn out, huh?

I've never seen a finesse back come into the pro's and start trucking guys like he has.
