I understand what you're saying but he's made more plays than that. I'm not saying he's a lock to tear it up but he looks really good and even if he's a bad 3 down back that's worth a flex start with the 2-3 catches + GL work he's likely to get. Probably won't be on the GL much though......
Exactly. He's a nice stash in keeper leagues but to throw him in in a playoff game without any track record based on one play is insane.
All true. Obviously, you'd need to be in a pinch, but sometimes a team may be just there.
Take away the 90 yard run and you have... 10 touches for 81 yards and 1 TD, in basically 2 quarters of work.
Yeah, I like the guy and all, but the over-reaction is out of control. He's not going to break 90 yard runs every game and just because he had a huge game against KC in Oakland (which of course boiled down to that 90 yard run) doesn't mean that he can do it again in KC. KC obviously had an off night that night - would anyone be shocked if they completely destroyed Oakland next week despite losing to them a couple of weeks back?
The 49'ers are going to sell out to stop the run when the Raiders have the worst running game in the NFL? Seems like the raiders run game stops itself and Murray hasn't played enough for the 49ers to worry about him yet.
Here's the full thing:
He has shown more talent than the rest of their roster combined... but it's just that. Shown talent. Not production. Hardly enough to anoint him "workhorse" - doesn't he need to at least finish a dominant half, first?
Least surprising thing ever here. He won't be our workhorse, fellas. Why try to fix something that ain't broken? Amirite?
Are you sure about the not production part? Doesn't he have like 10% of their rushing yards on the season just by his lonesome? - ETA - wait let me correct that, he has 20% of their rushing yards on the season and he's their second leading rusher - on the season.
Was he in the parade?
He also had 14 career CFB games of 15 or more carries. His team won all but 3 of them; one of the wins was vs Georgia. He had 87 or more yards in 9 of them. He had 233 yards, 3 TDs in one of them.
Even that guy thought he needed a snap count. Only 1000 yard season Latavius ever had at UCF was his senior year.
wtf.......I just had him plugged back into the flex --- when does the music stop?
hey if he can do what he did with 4 carries im ok with him getting 10 or 15 touches
And that is one more than Terrell Davis had in his college career. This post is complete tripe and has no relevancy to the discussion.
This could be coming from above Sparano so as not to jeopardize the top pick. I still think btw that Murray will see split carries with either Mcfadder and/or Reece. The trend during week twelve seemed to be pointing that way until the concussion.
F-Jax is no consolation prize. I'm loving him this week. He should catch a million dumpoffs.
I never understood why 1000 yards is such a benchmark. It's about how you get those yards and efficiency. He didn't even play RB his entire career at UCF, but on a per carry basis he was phenomenal.
The league has been filled with C. Benson's and Thomas Jones'. It's an arbitrary reference point. I meant in terms of projecting Murray to the NFL game its useless. It's about what is he capable of with the ball. When he received touches in college he performed. Now he's come full circle.
