When did Luepke reach "standout" status?

The moment that they stopped using him. Have to hide his abilities.

Are people afraid to start the gameday thread? Let's go.

Start one. Anybody can do it but you need to format the title correctly or Booze and Data will have a fit.

I've never understood why they don't fit him into the playbook. At least as a lead blocker like Moose

Whenever this team sees outsized success throwing to a RB by design it causes us to culturally seize up and NEVER DO IT AGAIN.

Because that would make us too successful

New coach, new scheme so I guess we will just see if things are different. I don't hold out high hope for Schotty as an offensive play caller but we will see. It's at least going to be different.

I really hate those mfs.

Never? I mean he's fine in his limited role.

I mean it's not like he got paid a boat load. He got paid backup money. But still it at least shows they want to keep the guy around. He isn't some borderline player that could be cut to make room.

I was too afraid to.

He got paid backup money.

That's not backup money in Dallas.

Williams was signed to 1 year about $3 million.

Sanders 1 year, $1.3 million.

Blue signed for 4 years, $4.6 million (about $1.15 per year).

Leupke signed 2 years, $7.5 million (about 3.75 a year), which makes him the highest paid RB on the team both in annual and total value, and also in signing bonus (his signing bonus alone ($5 million) was higher than the total value of the contract of any of our other RBs.)

This'll be an odd comparison, but it reminds of when we resigned Romo before he even took a snap. It was kind of out of nowhere, for more than we would have guessed.

Obviously Leupke has been on the field for us, but he's mostly been an afterthought. This makes me wonder if they plan on giving him more of a role than we would have suspected.

Or, it could just be because he plays special teams.

It's a curious signing to say the least.

Yea I said he might end up being our RB2 until (or if) Blue acclimates when I saw the deal.
