“I felt that this was a great opportunity for me to win a Super Bowl, at the end of the day.”
-Demarco Murray
And just like that, DeMarco Murray was no longer a member of the Dallas Cowboys. The man who carried the load for America’s team last year departed for a division rival, a team he thought had a better chance at winning the Super Bowl.
Naturally, Cowboys nation took this news rather well. Nah, just kidding. Most of them (outside of Dez Bryant) completely lost their damn mind, burning jerseys and eating themselves into oblivion.
Take a look:
@DeMarcoMurray I wish you would have stayed but I understand your decision… Congrats bro you deserve it – #offenseMVPoftheyear

The Everything Is Going To Be Okay Crowd
Losing DeMarco Murray is HUGE blow. But his QB in Philly will be worse. His WR's are worse. TE is worse. His OL is worse. #CowboysNation

Come On Now, That’s Just Crazy Talk
If the Cowboys really want to stick it to DeMarco Murray and show how replaceable he is, they should sign Trent Richardson.
