It’s a reminder of how little attention Cowboys management was paying to the NFL landscape in the summer of 2019 when they honored Elliott’s holdout and made him the highest-paid back in the league.
The last thing any NFL team ever wants is the highest-paid back on its payroll, which is why Zeke has no trade value whatsoever. Nobody is looking to add a huge salary cap hit at the running back position for 2021 with a declining player who now can’t stop fumbling along with not being able to break runs of any consequence.
Yet here the Cowboys are because the Joneses got scared and were afraid of what might happen if they opened the 2019 season without Zeke.
The Cowboys are a franchise out of step, and now it’s running out of having anything on offense beyond some top-notch receivers and a running back whose history and contract far exceed his present value.
As time passed and Prescott developed and the Cowboys added Amari Cooper and then CeeDee Lamb, this became Dak’s offense. Elliott’s importance diminished on an almost weekly basis. He became a luxury item , a $90 million player with zero trade value.
who cares you cant change the past the what if train is for losers'..Zekes deal is somehow holding up Daks teams?
Zeke not the issue, his fumbles are bad but Daks has had issues with fumbling before he has 34 for his career 40ints 74
Zekes teams went to the playoffs , Daks teams are now 4-8 since last season midway point..and the best game we won in that stretch was the rams game i remember us running for the tune of 250+ Dak wasn't needed , it was a run based Game plan and we bet team with winning record..hmmm
against tell me how DAKS TEAMS are performing?? so the coaches decided to SHIFT indentity's and put up passing stats and not utilize better run game and thats zekes fault somehow,, hes not declining , the way he used is declining and hes had some issues with fumbling but tell me how this new Daks team identity is performing?
1-3 start? 8-8 ;t year but 3-5 to finish the season daks teams have failed remember when zeke was suspended 9-7 that was Daks team..last two years so these are daks teams and zekes contract somehow has changed that even thought they loaded up daks WR core full bore to make it Dak friendly and so far , its working out great
3-5 to finish last year and 1-3 to start this year..Dak made 31mil this season for a 1-3 start now on the sideline. Wow what an investment.
not knocking Dak but you brought it up, its Daks teams .. wow glad they are going to pay dak now because his teams are comic up daisy's,.!!!! lmao
so Zekes contract is responsible for what? hate posts maybe something for you to gripe about?
its the Coaches issues Kellen moore and the staff decided instead of finding more balance and go from a run heavy team with Zeke etc , go to pass happy and its failing.. its not zekes fault the Coaching staff cant utilize him and find a better run scheme to compliment dak and the pass game..
its like they decided they would switch from using their right hand to their left but forgot they would function better with two hands as most of us do,..not using both hands is this teams issue and the brain ie the coaching staff has concussion because they cant figure out how to utilize both..
if you cant figure out this is more of coaching problem then a Zeke issue, that BTW cant be changed, well you are the issue.. Fans trying to signal out play and his deal and his draft status when it changes NOTHING...
we are losing more now that daks stats have gone up then when we utilized zekes more efficiently..
