Grits and Shins Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 I tried to warn you folks that none of the Dallas RBs was anything special ... the fact that the Cowboys have been shopping around for running backs tends to lend credence to that idea.

Seahawks21 Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Nothing to see here. Really fast, really explosive guy. Consistently runs the wrong way, fumbles constantly, and somehow still doesn't know how to switch hands with the ball. It doesn't seem like a big deal until you notice him running left with the ball in his right hand. It looks really awkward. He can't stiff arm or fight off tacklers because he has the ball in the wrong hand. Completely uncoachable. We simply shipped him to Dallas in hopes that they have to put him on the field. Him and Romo on the field at the same time, and all they would need is a Shemp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him and Romo on the field at the same time, and all they would need is a Shemp. You forgot his inability to pass protect. Interesting....he still has a potential to make plays and may have some wow moments for the Cowboys. But, he rarely made the active Sunday list for the Hawks. One of the most over-hyped dynasty prospects in recent memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirrelmastr21 Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Who would you rather have on your bench as a flier, Brandon Bolden or Michael? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balzac Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Who would you rather have on your bench as a flier, Brandon Bolden or Michael? Neither - I like Bolden to have some nice games this year but good luck predicting when those will be. I don't see Michael running away with the DAL job so, best case scenario has him sharing carries with 1-2 other guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big John Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Who would you rather have on your bench as a flier, Brandon Bolden or Michael? I advise asking this in the advice forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gopher Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 This. Though Michael isn't anything special eitherThis. There's a reason Michael basically never saw the field, and was beat out on the depth chart by what was essentially a mediocre player in Turbin. Michael has loads of raw talent/potential, but the fact that he never really improved/developed during his stay in SEA says a lot. I've heard him compared to a 5-tool player in baseball, with a poor work ethic and/or ability/desire to learn. Example....he still hasn't figured out how/when to switch hands with the football. Always carries with his right. My guess... He's not walking into a starting job in DAL, by any means. He's just another option that they've added, since everything else has bee underwhelming at best. Worth a grab and stash in deep leagues, MAYBE, but that's about it. Put it this way.... I'd rather have FJax playing behind Lynch in SEA than Michael in DAL, ten times out of ten, and twice on Sundays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphashado Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 He's worth a flier in deep leagues. The RB situation in Big D is anything but solidified. While it may be a small % chance that he ends up getting the starting job, just the fact that there is a chance makes him worth a waiver pick up. They are obviously not very happy with Randle or McFadden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboyz1 Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 (edited) Simply a move to provide depth and some goal line beef as none of the current backs are pile movers. Will have zero effect on the primary backs role. I like the pick up though lining up Clutts and Christine in the heavy package to get you that one yard on 3rd or 4th down. Not at all a possibility to start. Not at all a dynamic talent and lacks technique in all three phases of his game not to mention prone to putting it on the ground given too many opportunities. No more then "the fridge" role in Dallas. Edited September 6, 2015 by Cowboyz1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Brown Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Not at all a dynamic talent Lol. He's a very dynamic talent; that's why Carroll and Schneider drafted him in the 2nd round. He's your prototypical million dollar ability ten cent brain type of guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seahawks21 Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 I also wouldn't be completely shocked if he becomes an absolute superstar in Dallas. He has that much ability. He has as much of a combo of speed and size as anybody in the league sans maybe Peterson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
