Ok this my friends is a bust.
Correct. Which is why Dallas didn't resign him, especially to such cap deadly amount, and why most of the fan base in Dallas was supportive of letting him walk to a division rival. Murray was ran into the ground in D. And is not even in the same realm of ADP, McCoy, etc.I just don't agree. Peterson runs with a physicality and violence like not other back. I haven't had the opportunity to watch Gurly. The idea that Murray is being used wrong has been debunked thoroughly. I've watched every snap. He's slow and lacks "suddenness." He's being outperformed by three--count them three--other running backs on this team. I don't doubt that he may dirt I. Elsewhere but he is no where near the talent of Peterson or McCoy for that matter.Yeah sorry but he's not a bum. He's extremely talented. Just like Peterson and Gurley he needs opportunity. See what happens to any RB with only 10 touches a game. He's a bell cow and he gets better as the game goes on. He needs 25-30 touches a game and it's just not happening in this offense. It also doesn't help Philly plays from behind a lot. The only thing that is shocking for me is they don't use him in the receiving game as much because he has some of the best hands of any RB I have ever seen. That was always his strength going back to college. He is a three down back and Philly will never use him that way with a three headed RBBC. I am a big Demarco fan but I knew this would be a problem so I avoided him for fantasy purposes. Just the presence of Sproles alone makes you question his value due to lack of volume. I look forward to seeing him play for another team next year because this just isn't a fit for him. Matthews and Speoles seems like a great combo for Philly; they should give that a go for the rest of the season and see how it plays out, then let Demarco walk. Hopefully he finds a good team that can use a three down back so he can shine again. If that happens he will come right back to RB1/2 relevance depending on where he lands...Dallas looking really smart not giving this bum a big contract.
Philly unless someone stupid trades for him. $13mil cap hit to cut him. $8mil to keep him.Ladsud said:Where does he play next year?

Edit: I just saw the Wisenhunt news. If Chip Kelly decides it's always sunnier in Tennessee, and the Eagles get a new coach mid-season, then I have hopes for Murray.
B) Hell no
C) Logic
The chance of Lurie letting Chip go before his contract is up is 0.00. The chance of the Eagles hiring a new coach mid year I s 0.00. To even use that as consideration on what to do with an Eagles player, even in a joking manner, is pure stupidity.
Dang, I should have made bets based of Inseins odds. I would be loaded as if I won the Powerball.http://www.foxsports.com/nfl/story/philadelphia-eagles-demarco-murray-touchdown-010316A) NoI'm really trying to sell. I'm worried that the inconsistency we've seen so far in his usage will continue.

Genuinely shocked me. Very out of character for Lurie. So Chip must've been a complete A hole and from the reports, it sounds like he was.Dang, I should have made bets based of Inseins odds.

Good call Steed.Tremendous buy low
Agree. He looked older and slower.Put me down as someone who does NOT think he's a buy low but would instead highly encourage someone out there willing to pay a little more than low and move him.
If you could buy him at his value solely based on this year, I'd agree. I'm pretty sure that won't be the case though, people will still be factoring 2014 into his price.Tremendous buy low
Does Pederson even have an offense? I think, assuming his style goes along with Reid - it would adapt to whatever he has. He (Reid) seems to prefer shiftier backs (Westbrook, McCoy), but he's used more traditional backs as well (Buckhalter, Duce).Who fits better into the Doug Pederson offense, Murray or Mathews?

ESPN Cowboys reporter Todd Archer believes Dallas would be interested in bringing back DeMarco Murray "if the numbers are reworked."
Murray said he wants to remain with the Eagles, but NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Murray and the organization "are not in a good place." The contract is an obstacle, but it is highly unlikely Dallas will get a shot at Murray regardless. The guaranteed money in Murray's deal makes cutting him difficult, and trades between division rivals rarely happen. Murray's future in Philadelphia remains murky, but it is unlikely he returns to Dallas.

Not, it's actually a lot worse than that.I don't think the Eagles will just flat out cut him. However, I think they'd trade him for a late pick if they could find a taker. Their cap hit if they trade him is $4 Million in dead money. Not that bad.
They are likely drafting Tunsil and moving Lewan to RT.Their line is so bad...
What about the interior? I know Warmack was highly rated coming out of college but I thought all 3 in the middle were underperforming.They are likely drafting Tunsil and moving Lewan to RT.
The just signed Center Ben Jones from the Texans. He was their starter last year. He's also played LG.What about the interior? I know Warmack was highly rated coming out of college but I thought all 3 in the middle were underperforming.
I think he was a product of the o-line while in Dallas. Tennessee was smart to grab him but I don't think he is a league leading rusher again.Everyone thought he was toast coming off the massive workload the year before with Dallas. Whether it was due to that or Chip not using him correctly, those fears came true. He may bounce back somewhat this year, but going on 28, I'm selling all my shares of him.
The Oline certainly helped, but Murray started to run a little smarter as well. Early in his NFL career Murray would seek out contact at the end of a run. He learned that not every yard is worth fighting for, that it's ok to step out of bounds to avoid a big hit after you have gotten past the first down marker. If only his ball security was a little better...I think he was a product of the o-line while in Dallas. Tennessee was smart to grab him but I don't think he is a league leading rusher again.
Very confident if through 13 games he's proven to be their workhorse, not very confident if he hasn't. Same as for every player, whether the team is 10-3 or 5-8 doesn't have much bearing IMO.If Tennessee is 5 and 8 how confident will you be in starting him in a fantasy playoff game?
