But they were definitely more productive/effective with Murray in the backfield. They had over 2300 yards rushing and twice as many touchdowns on the ground in 2014. The offense as a whole scored almost twice as many points with Romo and Murray in the backfield than they did with the hodgepodge of players from last year. This was it more than anything. With a healthy Romo last season the Dallas running game is more than fine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I will get back on it this year and start early so I'll have all the draft rankings for 2017. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything to help take the focus off of him at this point has to be viewed as a positive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
big2033 Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 The Dallas running game was inconsistent last year despite having a monster line. That's why they invested. They want reliability. I mean, one week McFadden had 9 carries for 111 yards, then another he had 10 carries for 11 yards ... one week he had 100 yards with 16 carries vs the Jets in a 19-16 loss ... then another week he had 17 carries for 32 yards in a 9-6 loss to Tampa Bay ... so to go purely by YPC is very misleading. Teams that don't invest in the position tend to be always looking for one. The Cowboys went through that all season. You can get away with plug and play starters for a bit but unless you're the Patriots you have to find consistency. They need to control games with their running game and they couldn't do that.

begooode Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 McFadden is one of the strangest talented RBs I can recall. Dude is as inflexible a runner as I've ever seen, runs crazy tough at times, amazing speed, has to be accounted for in the passing game, yet near zero game-to-game consistency or reliability due to injuries. Complete enigma. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's how it goes running the ball in the NFL, most teams don't consistently rush for 100+yds week to week. Seasons like Murray had in 2014 and CJ had in 08 rarely happen..... Elliot will have up and downs too..... You better have a QB, if Romo misses time again Elliot won't matter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complete enigma. He was the ultimate fantasy tease earlier in his career. People would constantly draft him in the first two or three rounds, even after it became fairly obvious he was useless as a fantasy starter or even as a quality backup given the inconsistency. 2008 is still one of the best drafts for RB's in I don't know how long. Chris Johnson, Matt Forte, Ray Rice, Jamaal Charles... all those guys did some serious work in the league. And they were all drafted after McFadden, Jonathan Stewart, Felix Jones, and Rashard Mendenhall. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You better have a QB, if Romo misses time again Elliot won't matter Of course you better have a QB ... but there's a difference between 10 carries for 11 yards and 10 carries for 40 whether you have a great QB or not. You never knew what you were getting from McFadden, and generally that's what happens with plug and play runners. It's why despite conventional wisdom teams keep investing if one is elite.

Actually after they made McFadden the starting RB the last 11 games he had 90+ in 7 of those games. He was pretty damn consistent Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
