What Is The Story On Oakland Raiders RB Latavius Murray?

Have you ever thought what it would be like to understand an additional dimension to the one you are viewing?  The easiest concept for that picture is imagining a 3D object in 2D world.  With Oakland Raiders RB Latavius Murray, this concept is valid.

Despite having good on the surface numbers, 5.5 yards per carry or greater over the past 3 seasons, a deeper look shows a different picture.  His rushing average dropped to 3.4 yards per carry in his challenge games, which raises a red flag.  It concerned me heavily until I took an analytical look encompassing a much higher dimensional space.  He compared to a group of running backs that had all been taken earlier than him with the closest comparison being RB Andre Brown of the New York Giants.  Without the analytical view using additional dimensional space, I would have wrote him off for poor performance in challenge games.  Using a view that encompasses additional dimensional space, he compares to Andre Brown and a little more loosely to a running back with multiple pro bowls.  As a 6th round selection at pick 181, the Raiders made a selection that has all the signs of arbitrage.
