Quote:I don't get what the argument here is. I am not saying he isn't good. I am saying that at 10 million per year, he is way too much risk, especially if it precludes us from drafting a stud running back if one is staring at us come our pick.


He has suffered through lots of nagging injuries. He was behind a dominant offensive line. He has only had one truly elite year. Compare that to the other top paid running backs who have had multiple elite years. You have not not want to see the risks to not see them.

I see your points - and don't really disagree much - I was just pointing out something missing from your prior post. 

 

I never really expected or wanted the Jags to go after Murray.  But I do think he and D-Rob would be a ridiculous combo with Gerhart being a wildcard contributor if the new offensive regime can use them properly. The only reason I remotely condone it is the crazy cap space we have at the moment.

 

(yes a draft pick makes more sense $$-wise  -  if they are willing to spend an early pick - depends on their draft strategy)
