Title: Not bad for a 2nd string running back.........
Post by: LouisVOL on December 20, 2017, 02:46:55 EST
Kamara pro bowl as a rookie.  Wonder how the first string running back is doing?

I LMAO and then got mad a few weeks back when Troy Aikman while doing a Saints game said this about Kamara......Just think, he didn't even start at Tennessee. Then he said......Maybe that's why they don't have a coach there right now. :banghead: :biggrin:

Been said many times before, the only person that could keep Alvin Kamara from being productive on the field was Butch Jones. 

No trier statement has ever been uttered.

I accepted Butch's decisons along the way. Hurd was tough. But in hindsight, what a cluster! No Kamara was not an every down back. But my God! What a colossal lack of use until it became necessary. Then he got hurt.  :banghead:

Aikman as usual is wrong.  Kamara definitely started after Hurd went all emo and quit.

Aikman got hit on the head way too much as a player.  :naughty:

And while the above sentence is a joke, it's very true.  Late in his career he repeatedly got concussions and had to leave the game.   He would never have been allowed to play with today's rules.  And Jones in one of many bad moves as a GM allowed his sentimental feelings for Aikman to over rule what should have been his job as GM and he kept Aikman around far too long at too high a salary, contributing to the decline of the Cowboys.

In case you can't tell, I am not a big fan of Aiman.   :naughty:
