Why didn't we just pay Murray?

[Yakuza Rich]

No you are missing the point ....... it took Murray 3 seasons to get those stats when he came in the league.

Is Todd Gurley better than Demarco?

Cause he had 1100 yards and 10 TDs his first year.

Is Emmitt Smith better than Murray?

Cause he had 937 yards and 11 TDs his first year.

Is Adrian Petterson better than Murray?

Cause he had 1341 yards and 12 Tds his first year.

Is Demarco Murray better than Demarco Murray?

Cause he had 897 yards and 2 Tds his first year.


So yea ....... you aint biased or anything are yakuza?

No, you're missing the point.

It was asked as to why we wouldn't re-pay Murray and then go out and draft Zeke at #4.

The replies were that Zeke was better than Murray after the 2014 season. Not when Murray was a rookie. Not when Emmitt was a rookie or Todd Gurley.

If that's the case, then he should get 1,500 yards and 12 TD's rather easily.

It is obvious that YOU have a bias. And for all of your talk you have backed off when I try to hold you to the ridiculousness of your statement.

You know that EE won't sniff 1,500 yards and 12 TD's despite playing behind the best O-Line in football.

Case closed.

No I do not know that ....... but for you to say he is not better than Demarco (and to use that as the reasoning) is pathetic.

But trust me ........ when this kid becomes what everyone thinks he will ....... this thread will be linked.

Case closed ......

And if he runs from 900 yards and scores 4 TD's, this thread will be linked as well.

I'm sure you will come up with some lame spin job.

Nope because that will still be more yards and double the TD's your hero got his first year he played and his last year stats.

Do you get the idea that Murray was drafted in the 3rd round and Zeke was 4th overall?

Like Jerry, you don't understand value.

And I'm not resorting to your convoluted logic. Zeke is not better than Murray in 2014. If he is, he should be able to get 1,500 and 12 this year.

But even by your convoluted logic, you have completely ignored value.

And we could have gotten Zeke later on unless you believe Jerry's fibs.

I am not the one comparing them ....... You are.

Anyone can see that Zeke is a far superior player in college ...... and Murray was not worth the money he was asking for with his 700 yards and 6 tds last year.

I cannot wait till he gets on the field. Murray is already fixin to lose his job at the team he has not even played with yet.

Then why are you arguing with me?

It was said in this thread that we didn't re-sign Murray and drafted Zeke at #4 because Zeke is better than Murray.

So I mentioned the 1,500 yards 12 TD's as an attainable goal.

If you're not comparing them then I don't see the reason for you to reply to my posts.

That would be a good start.

Zeke is better than Murray ....... last season Murray had 700 yards and 6 Tds

Was he better than him in 2014?

We'll see.

I think 1,500 yards should be attainable if that is the case.

He was a sophomore in college in 2014 with 1878 yards and 18 TDs

I was talking about Zeke being better this year than Murray was in 2014.

If he's supposed to be that way, then 1,500 yards and 12 TD's should be readily attainable this season.

Is Murray as good this year as he was in 2014?

 

[Yakuza Rich]

No.

But that's not the point.

Why did we not re-sign Murray?

Did we know he was going to have the season he had with the Eagles? I doubt it.

So claiming that we didn't re-sign Murray and drafted Zeke at #4 is a comparison of Murray's 2014 season (which is when we didn't re-sign him).

I'll give some leeway. Murray had 1,845 yards and 13 TD's that season. So by saying that Zeke is better than Murray in 2014, Zeke should be able to get within 20% of Murray's performance. So that means Zeke should get at least 1,475 yards and 10 TD's.

Hope so.

Doubt it.

[zrinkill]

No.

Yay ....... you have the answer to the op's original question
Cowboys said they did not match the offer because of age and wear down during season.

Next year he has 700 yards

Cowboys finally got rid of a player exactly when they should have ....... and other wise smart posters cannot see that.

And then try and take it out on a newly drafted stud RB ........ unbelievable.

Just dont jump on the "bandwagon" later.

He's not a stud, yet.

And if you are so confident, then you shouldn't duck the 1,475/10 goal.

Not ducking it ...... I think he will hit that.

But if he did not his first year he would still be better than Murray ....... unless he was mediocre his whole career except for one year.

 

[LocimusPrime]

The titans drafted derrick henry that shows how much they think of murray. Hes good but they probably think he only has 1-2 years left

 

[Nova]

Because Zeke doesn't carry the football like a loaf of bread.

He properly carries it like a mother clutching her baby while evading zombies.

Zombies would not have a chance at catching Zeke.

Murray would run into a group of them and fall down.

 

[Blast From The Past]

Because Zeke is the superior player.

Oh yeah, and he's 8 years younger

And much cheaper over the next 5 years
