Was it right to go with Felton over Fiammetta?

I thought this was interesting.

Fiammetta, who was claimed off waivers from the Carolina Panthers in September, has played a key role in the recent success of the Cowboys' running game. He does not have any rushing yards this season, but Fiammetta has been a force as a lead blocker, prompting owner/general manager Jerry Jones to call him the franchise's best true fullback since Daryl "Moose" Johnston.

In the six games Fiammetta has played this season, the Cowboys have averaged 145.8 rushing yards and 6.6 yards per carry. They averaged 84.6 rushing yards and 2.5 per carry in the three games Fiammetta did not play. The vast majority of rookie Murray's franchise-record 601 yards in the past four games have occurred with the 6-foot, 242-pound Fiammetta on the field.

Very interesting, but I would be hard-pressed to beleive he suddenly became good. He wasn't that great for us. The cowboys rushing scheme is better than ours (not necessarily production, but scheme). DeMarco Murray is the reason for this stats, not Fiametta (credit by association).

I think we gave up a little too quickly on Fiametta. Those who say he couldn't find an identity in the wake of the Hoover cut under Fox are correct. He could never establish himself. And in the post-Fox era, Rivera and Co. liked Felton. I like Felton, too. Fia in a different system is a better fit. So be it.

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
