CLTbills Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 This guy has been fascinating to me this year... Mainly, how he's been in the league for so long and nobody found him, or how he's just now showing how good he is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frez Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 He should be our starter if it's a real competition out there. MM has shown he clearly has the better burst out of all the Rb's on this roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillyG Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Hoping they get him more involved. With our WR issues would be great to see both in the backfield at the same time. Send Shady in motion out wide a bit. Said it before, this kid runs with Fred Jackson like intensity. He wants that extra yard. Hopefully Daboll uses him.

GimmeSomeProcess Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 (edited) Love Marcus and will make shady expendable this year. Would love a 3rd round pick for shady . Edited September 14, 2018 by GimmeSomeProcess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misterbluesky Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 That's his third time on 550. Get the other Murphy on the radio waves...Trent's been dead silent since he came here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends what you mean by Fred jacksonesque? he hasn’t been here long enough to be a team leader or a fan favorite and he isn’t as big a back as Fred... Fred was 6’2 225 but he does have a very good contact balance about him that semi resembles Fred Edited September 14, 2018 by Buffalo716 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColoradoBills Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 He's already the best kick returner the Bills have had in a long time. He is a great change of pace guy for Shady. How can you not like Murphy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred was 6’2 225 but he does have a very good contact balance about him that semi resembles Fred I was just thinking more about a personal feeling on the situation. Shady is the incumbent Pro Bowl caliber RB in front him as Lynch was in front of Jackson. Murphy seems to make plays when he gets the ball in his hands. I also have a feeling that Murphy may end up being our featured RB when Shady is gone as Fred was when Lynch was shipped out. Just a hunch, I haven't consulted Dionne Warwick and the Psychic Friends Network or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok and its 3.3 including UDFAs hundreds of UDFA RBs that get cut within 1 year. Most drafted RBs stick for a while And are never given their time to shine so are just relegated to the bench very few 6th round running backs are given a true load from the start of there career. They usually earn it over a couple years time It’s not crazy Murphy is playing his best ball 4 years in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
