I know it's not really the most appropriate time to bring it up given the Giants circumstances, but what are some legit opinions on Murray going forward? I wasn't really a fan at all of the Murray pick, and although he looked electric at times, the bulk of his damage was done in four games against less than stellar teams before getting injured. I think the oline coming together helped tremendously, even if it wasn't the best performing oline out there.
253 yards vs St Loo at home, which was always going to be a blow out
74 yards at 9.3 a pop @ Philly, in a blowout loss, which opened up lanes somewhat, even if the playcalling went away from him too early.
139 yards vs Seattle, a team that was tremendous at home by the end of the year but mediocre otherwise
135 yards in another blowout win vs Buffalo at home. At the start of their seven game losing streak.
73 yards at 2.9 a pop at the Skins, first game that he struggled with bulk carries.
87 yards vs Miami at home, 4 yards a pop, not bad, hardly special.
38 yards off 12 carries for 3.2 a pop vs the Cards at Arizona.
Giants Game injury
Afterwards, Felix look over and averaged 6, 6.6, 4.9, 6 yards per carry in games vs varying opponent quality wise with varying carry totals, obviously Felix struggles with injury more.
Anyway point being I'm not willing to say I was 100% undoubtedly wrong about Murray yet. Am I that wrong or now that the shine of a ridiculous first starting performance vs St Loo has waned, is anyone in agreeance that the talk was a bit ridiculous considering circumstances?
Still, liked the guy in college, just didn't think he had what it took for the pros. Happy to be proven wrong if he can step up in the future.
