Quote:The curse of 370 has a lot of evidence behind it, and Murray destroyed that threshold with 459 total touches. There is also a lot of evidence that shows RB peak in their age 26 season and fall off pretty precipitously afterwards. We would be paying Murray a lot of money to buck both of those trends, in addition to addition overcoming of a length injury history and a significant fall off in blocking talent. Is it possible he would be great for us? Sure. But it is not a good bet.

 

Fortunately we are in the financial position that we don't need to only make good bets, so it's fine if they bring him in regardless. Just saying if we expect to see relatively the same guy that won the rushing title last year it's most likely going to be a significant disappointment.
 

Ehhh.  They can give the guy a pampered off-season and limit him to around 300 carries on the reg season and likely get 1200-1300 yds out of him, IMO.

 

He was overworked last year -  but as long as he's handled properly - he doesn't necessarily have to be too burnt to contribute. 

 

The whole after 26 thing is pretty weak.  Many, many backs have had huge seasons beyond that age.

Demarco will be a huge upgrade. The key is fixing our tackles. If you can do that, and give a nice rotation of Demarco/Denard/Toby(gasp) he'll be fine

Just tune into 1010XL around 3pm tomorrow. He'll be fumbling over himself explaining how great it is that they are going after Murray and Thomas.

The #Patriots are keeping S Devin McCourty after a hard push from the #Jaguars, the #Eagles and the #Giants.

 

<span>See guys we tried to get him, stop the whining </span>

<p style="color:rgb(41,47,51);font-family:Arial, sans-serif;background-color:rgb(245,248,250);">Eagles and Giants took their best shot at McCourty. Others, including Jaguars, were in the mix. But back to NE he goes.

Honestly, much respect to McCourty. I love players who are loyal to their teams. Stinks we couldn't land him though!

There are still 2 nice options at safety. They may not be McCourty, but they will vastly improve that position.

Son of a gum-chewing funk monster.

 

McCourty was the guy I wanted most.

Why? Teams aren't loyal to players.
