Use Duece like Darren Sproles

And in the 2 years he has been in the league, he has done nothing with his opportunities. He falls down as soon as he is touched. I don't care what he did in college, we aren't talking about playing in college. He has not shown anything at the pro level to warrant his spot on this or any other roster. Lots and Lots of college players look great in college, dominant even but fail in the big boy league.
How many screen passes has Deuce caught in the pro's. His career total is probably around 2. The biggest progress stopper at ANY level is lack of opportunity. If he were given 6-8 receptions and 15 carries, his #'s would pop off the screen. The Cowboys don't make that commitment to any RB. Ever. He's still the most dangerous RB on the team. What do they have to lose by trying? Our FO/coaching staff sucks and is very stubborn. This is the same leadership that let Miles Austin rot on the sidelines while they played the overpaid WR Roy Williams.

Will someone on this coaching staff PLEASE watch tape of Sproles. Then, implement some plays designed for Duece. He has all the same skill sets. Here’s a thought… maybe think outside the box and have Luepke and Duece in the backfield… give it to either, screen to either.. we need creative mis matches. Another jet sweep or curl route and my head will explode.
Duece is going to end up somewhere else eventually and suddenly become a weapon.

Jerry can't think inside the box.

I would cut Zeke and PS Vaughn. Make Dowdle the feature back sprinkled in with Leupke .

Why do so many fans think the RB is the problem?

Have you watched a Niner game???

The Niners punter could run for 3.5 yards a carry.
It can be both the line and the rbs. They can all suck, simultaneously.

Have they used him correctly? If your answer is a HONEST "yes" then they need to cut him.

Again it can be 9 different things simultaneously.

However, if you have a good OLine you don't need McCaffrey. You only need an undrafted RB.

There's no reason at this point not to try different things. I mean... That is, if you're realistic about what this current squad is capable of. But as we all know, that's a BIG "IF".

Not in the playbook.

NO.

He is a victim of horrible use by the idiot head coach.

Just one of many players.
In 2 seasons he’s had 30 carries for 60 yards. It wouldn’t matter how they use him. He’s not big enough and can’t block.

I am pretty sure we did not watch any tap of Deuce before the draft. I am sure we just took his Dad's word for it and we blindly drafted him.

I am sure we didn't look at him during camp or at any of our practices either.
