Quote:This youth movement won't matter at all unless they all significantly improve.
We need 4-5 guys that "break out" like Denard did this year.
It's not enough to just be "starters" because starters on a 1-9 team are not impressing anyone.
That's the thing though. At this time last year, denard Robinson had absolutely no impact, and of course, some were asking for him to be cut. RB is one of the easier transitions, unless you're a qb converting to RB. I have a lot of faith that we will get a lot of impact players out of our last two draft classes.

4 youngest teams in NFL
1. Rams
2. Jags
3. Chiefs
4. Cowboys
wow!
Hopefully we can be like the boys in the future
It's not about the overall youth on the roster. It's about how young the starters are.
Here is a list of starters we've had the past couple of weeks who were rookies or close to being rookies:
Luke Bowanko
Brandon Linder
Allen Robinson
Allen Hurns
Blake Bortles
Sam Young
Nic Jacobs
2nd year players:
Denard Robinson
Luke Joeckel
Again, those are rookie's or 2nd year players who have been STARTING just on the offense. That's the point. The other teams may have a younger overall roster, but nobody has a younger starting roster. That's the point.
Quote:How many of their starters are young? Therein lies the difference.
Also, Garrett has been a HC for 4 years now, and OC for the Cowboys for 3 years before that.
Very few young teams with young coaches have immediate success in the NFL
Experience makes a diiference in a lot of things in life and coaching is one of them.
Quote:Murray is very good no doubt but he doesnt have the speed DRob has. If Denard was behind that Dallas line he would have broke a couple of huge runs. Right now D Rob average 4.8 yac Murray 5.1 yac
There isn't a single back in the NFL that wouldn't have better numbers running behind that offensive line. Denard is no Murray though.

I wonder what Toby's numbers would look like on the Cowboys?

They all have veteran QBs and therein lies the difference...
