traded for a conditional pick to the Dallas Cowboys
The trade speaks for itself. Seattle doesn't think he has that much potential. If they did, they would have kept him or asked for more in a trade. When you hear galloping, look for horses, not zebras. When a team trades a player for a conditional 7th round pick the odds are they probably don't want him around rather than they have a conscience are are "doing right" by him.
Hadnt we heard of "trade rumors" in the past?
Im pretty sure Sig is a fan of Randle..
1)He was traded2) why? A few reasons. They liked Rawls and the control they have over him for the next 4 years versus 2 for cmike. Rawls fit the scheme better. Cmike is much better suited for Dallas and what they do then the Hawks. They had hoped he could be a one cut and go type guy but it never happened. They loved the talent and that's why they drafted him but talent doesn't always fit the scheme. When it doesn't fit the scheme you see guys fail.
Sig is a fan of what was Randles upside in the 5th round as an RB3 for a fantasy team. Randle isn't a talented runner, he is average. Most in love with Randles love the offensive line.
Everyone convieniently forgets that Lynch was himself traded to Seattle. Good backs do get traded.
Waldman also has Randle in the forefront of his UDD article. Though I believe it was written (8/13) before the 3rd PS game where McFadden looked so good and obviously before this.
I understand that ya may not care to explain this for the umpteenth time But a conditional 7th rnd pick is about as close a cut as ya can get.. Is it not.. Technically it was a fubar post on my part because I knew he was "traded", but was thinking of the post I was responding too (which included "let their good players go" or something)
This! and Lynch had not been able to cement himself as the starter there either... There was talk of him possibly going to Green Bay, but the asking price was too high for them... The rest, as they say, is history...
I do not wish to sound too negative, on this new change of scenery. However, I honestly believe both backs are capable, and may be used in some tandem fashion too. But I also know that the same team gave a few carrys to their third RB, who became the bell cow after six weeks..
I don't want to sound like an (_)_) but sometimes Cecil is almost too upbeat on some players..
Just to understand - which team are you referring to in the underlined? Denver? Baltimore?
Maybe Micheal is actually a genius, maybe he actually "got it" but did coach-irritating things on purpose like continuing to carry the ball in the same hand to pretend like he didn't "get it" so Seattle would trade him.
Not saying they are the same. Just pointing out that the narrative that if a back is being traded he must not be very good.
Players can turn the corner on immaturity or professionalism issues, especially when they see their career flash before their eyes.
Not to mention Randle is a complete knucklehead
Agreed. And I think that's all us Michael owners were hoping for at this point. Either he is going to get a shot or he isn't. There's no HOF RB on the Dallas roster, so at least we get a better idea of whether or not this guy is going to be able to succeed competing with his peers.
you remember incorrectly. packers actually traded a late pick for grant.
Really, this is what I keep thinking. Seahawks could have locked him up after the year with a long term deal for not-big dollars.
They think Rawls is better for their scheme.
I don't think that's the narrative at all. You're kind of lopping off the back half of the narrative, the part where he was traded for almost literally nothing.
I am not comparing the trade to Lynch's trade. I am simply pointing out that:
Yeah I don't get that either, they give Lynch the ball, he looks for running room and runs as hard as he can for as long as he can, not sure what there is to get from that., especially if you don't play passing downs and have to pick up a blitz.
So the Seahawks run a one cut and go scheme, what do the Cowboys run and how exactly is it a better fit for him?
I did an in person draft about two miles (literally) from the Death star...I mean ATT stadium in arlington yesterday and CM went undrafted. Not only in cowboyville, but some A & M fans around. Pretty much meh from that group. basically, he was thought of no more than any other 3rd string running being traded for a late pick with people who are familiar both with his college career and the team he is going to.
