He's actually humble and works out like a mad man in Dallas in the offseason. Can you believe that...we don't even have the hardest working running back in Dallas. That would be Derrick Henry. When Septum Ring is getting lit in Uptown every night, Derrick Henry is in South Dallas working on his craft.
Put the pipe down, man. So Henry works non-stop, and Zeke does nothing, ever. Got it.

Your weekly Derrick Henry thread, ladies and gentlemen.

It’s only going to get worse now that you have that albatross of a contract that was doled out to Zeke. It’s a valid critique too, you spent a #5 pick o a RB when there were options to make your defense better by going with a stud like Ramsay at corner. Plus you could have gotten Henry with the second round pick, a cheaper option but certainly one that sees no massive drop off in production.

Zeke can't get close to 140yds 3yds in a game let alone the 1st half of a game.

Neither can running backs for almost any other team in the league. What's your point whiney Wendy? You gonna piss and moan about every player on every team that's better than what Dallas has at the position? Or are you just gonna jump on this one because it's platoon whining? It's old and tired and not changing so rehashing this argument every hour or two says a lot more about you guys than it does Zeke, Henry, or Jerry.

Derrick Henry would have been a different back had he been drafted by the Cowboys. The Cowboys Country Club Culture would have gotten to him just like it did Zeke.

You can't have a conversation without name calling? Okay, I'll stoop to your level, *****boy... Zeke being paid like the best RB and he it even in the top 10. Just because you can't understand the rub doesn't mean people are whining.

ya know, if zeke put the pipe down instead of being “low key faded” while under quarantine and from the looks of it, prior to games, then maybe he could have been half way decent this year.

Because Henry barely played early on.

This is irrelevant statistics.

Zeke’s problem is no big plays.
Lol, “problem”? try making that plural, a lot of plurals, many many plurals.

It’s not about passing on Henry. It’s about reminders game after game, week after week, that you should not use high picks or give big money contracts to the RB position. You can get better production for less investment, and see across the league.

The Cowboys and Rams with Elliott and Gurley are the example of what not to do.

The Steelers with Bell are the example of what you should do.

Posting about it over and over, every day, knowing that nothing is going to change and is pretty much the definition of whining, Nancy.

Why don't you go through every roster and every contract for every player that's paid less, while performing better than a Cowboys counterpart? You won't, because you don't want to actually form an educated argument. You just want something to complain about. I get that. It's been a rough year. But this topic is in almost every thread, every day. It's whining. Move on.

Zeke has 7987 of offense in five years even with a BS six game suspension.

Henry has 5576.

But by all means let the Hateraide continue.

Now, you're not allowed to consider anything before 2018, when Henry became equal to or better than Elliott. You do that and it skews the perspective.

You spelled "Missing Four OL" wrong.

Its relevant if the argument is their contracts. Zeke earned his contract extension because he had more yards rushing than any back in the NFL his first four years, even being out half a season with the BS suspension.

If the argument is that Henry is better than Zeke, saying he couldn't force his way on the field over the 29 year old DeMarco Murray and his 3.6 YPC in 2017 makes my point.
