I've been hearing everyone saying that Demarco Murray is a STUD. That exact word. STUD. Kid's played what.. 5 full games.. And people are labeling him a stud. I can say he's got a HUGE potential and definitely a bright future and HAS A POTENTIAL to become the back the cowboys are looking for.. But he's just a potential.. He's needs to do more then that in 5 games to be a STUD BACK in the NFL.. AND FYI, all his games were against teams that were pretty bad in rushing defense last year..
His first start against the rams when he went crazy and really caught everyone's eyes, against Rams, who gave up 2nd most rushing yard
Then against seattle, 15th which is pretty good
Buffalo, who gives up 5th most rushing yards
Washington ranked 18th and ran for 73
Then against a good rush defense miami picks up 87
So against bad rushing defense yes he did well, but there was sign of him slowing a bit and especially against washington and miami..
Yes his total yardage is great with his ability to catch the ball from the back, but that's also because Romo had to with injuries on that WR core..
Way too early to say he's a STUD, but he does have potential..
So to say that because Murray is a STUD, to me is not a good enough reasoning..
We shall see though as this season progresses.
