This is exactly how I feel about the Murray signing

Latavius Murray to the Vikings is like when your favorite band replaces the singer with a dude from a tribute band.

The Vikings w/Latavius

I liken it more to Van Halen. You had the flashy but shitty Diamond David Lee Roth, and replaced him with a guy with much more talent in Sammy Hagar.

Yeah, at one time, Adrian was a great runner.  He was about as good as it gets at one time, at that one specific thing.  He was never a great all around back though.  I just hope Murray proves to be a stud.  That's the important thing now.  He at least has the right skillset.

I've said that many times.  LONG time ago he was an elite runner.  But he always sucked at everything else, was always a moron, and didn't help the team win thanks to his selfishness.  Make sure you get the whole thing in there!  haha

Long time ago lol.  To paraphrase what I said, I said back in his prime that he was a fantastic pure runner, maybe the best I'd ever seen, but it was only due to physical abilities.  I said when his elite athleticism diminished he would suck because he has mediocre vision and feel for holes, no patience, and doesn't contribute in any manner outside of running out of the single back or I with the QB under center.  But that one particular thing he did well back then, he did as well as anyone I'd ever seen.

Did you get it all out now?
