From the episode

I just I don't think like I'm not buying the Mike McCarthy loves Rico Dowdle narrative. But man, this backfield like this is why you should never draft two guys in a split backfield because it's possible that this is a 50 50

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Source skeptical of McCarthy's preference for Dowdle in unclear backfield split.

The source expresses skepticism about the narrative that Mike McCarthy favors Rico Dowdle in the Dallas backfield, citing the risk of a 50-50 split that would create weekly uncertainty about which back to start.
