My God, are you kidding me? Back when he had an NFL record YPC stat, people were thinking he was the shit.Ok, so now I know to just ignore your opinion on RBs. Felix was a bust in every sense of the word.

You pretend like the blocking has to be flawless on every play for a RB like Randle to be successful. My point is that it doesn't matter if it's not flawless on every play because even shitty RBs manage to make guys miss and break tackles.And this random comment means what exactly?
Yep. The RB position needs a complete overhaul.
An elite starter
A backup with some defining skill that helps him play at an elite level for short stretches.
A scat back to provide a threat out of the backfield as well as a dangerous change of pace.
A bruising fullback who can carry and catch the ball
That's what you strive for, especially the way this team is built.
If you have the above I guarantee this team plays well into January for years and years regardless of the QB.
Not all of them do.
You make it sound so easy. You'd think every team would want this.
Romo's best year just happened to occur when we finally took the run seriously."So if Romo can have the kind of year that he had last year, then our running game will benefit from that.”
Agreed he was a bust, but he was a talented one. Felix averaged no fewer than 4.3 YPC his first four seasons. But the NFL pounded his edge flat very quickly through exposure.Ok, so now I know to just ignore your opinion on RBs. Felix was a bust in every sense of the word.
It just ignores the fact that Romo had his best year because of the running game. Murray didn't threaten 2,000 yards because Romo had "his year".Where in that quote did you see that Jerry said Romo set it all up? Are you saying that the running game won't benefit if Romo has a good
year?
Average RB's get their fair share, like you say, and an excellent OL and balanced offense can boost that number.You pretend like the blocking has to be flawless on every play for a RB like Randle to be successful. My point is that it doesn't matter if it's not flawless on every play because even shitty RBs manage to make guys miss and break tackles.
I am as average at remembering his name as he is running the football.JOSEPH Randle, ya idiot!!! Get it right, that's twice now.
That is not what I was saying at all.You pretend like the blocking has to be flawless on every play for a RB like Randle to be successful. My point is that it doesn't matter if it's not flawless on every play because even shitty RBs manage to make guys miss and break tackles.
There is little doubt that is the case.I think Jerry is banking on it.
Felix was never a lead back ever in his career. Any idiot could see he wasn't meant to be. That's not at all how Randle plays and Randle actually was a lead back in college.Agreed he was a bust, but he was a talented one. Felix averaged no fewer than 4.3 YPC his first four seasons. But the NFL pounded his edge flat very quickly through exposure.
Randle could have a solid career as a backup, but with McFadden likely to falter it will put too much pressure on him this season, and ultimately Romo.The worst part is that he's hitched his wagon to Randle as well with a lot of his usual pathological optimistic commentary.
It is, because no RB needs massive holes on every play to get the one yard for a first down.That is not what I was saying at all.
I was referring to this idiotic notion that our OL is so kick ass it blows open holes each and every down allowing any shithead to fall forward for five yards.
And well, I guess you still think your "shitty RBs manage to make guys miss and break tackles" comment was somehow relevant.
In no reality is Randle a lead NFL back. No way can he take 250-300 carries, 50+ receptions, and 300 pass blocks in this league.Felix was never a lead back ever in his career. Any idiot could see he wasn't meant to be. That's not at all how Randle plays and Randle actually was a lead back in college.
