Over the past half decade Murray has been one of the very most durable running backs in the NFL.

Like him missing the entire 2013 season on IR. Amazing how that critical piece of info is scoffed at like a French king. And if he is so good why does he keep getting passed around like a lot lizard but we will see. The only real fact is RB's over 30 have a horrible track record. Only a small sample has proved that incorrect.

2013 was his first season, and yes he spent it on IR. But, since 2014, his first on the active roster, he has played in 77 out of 80 possible games. As for his ability, nobody is saying he is the second coming of Deuce McAllister, but that he can fill the role required with ease. It is you that keeps trashing the guy for no reason whatsoever. You even put up $20 betting that he wouldn't appear in eight games this season. Talk about negative. He's played in all 32 games the past two seasons. And now he's going to magically have the lowest attendance of his now six year NFL career?



Oh, and he isn't "over 30". In fact he won't even turn 30 until January.

He's closer to 30 than 29. He will be over 30 if we make the playoffs and SB. The wheels start falling off at 29. The odds of him making the entire season are very slim. Same will happen to Ingram. Justice Hill and Gus are going to run him out of town before week 5. He'll get traded mid season.
