News: Should the Cowboys Seriously Consider Moving on From Ezekiel Elliott?

[buybuydandavis]

In Tennessee Jeremy Nichols is averaging 5.4 yards per carry while Derrick Henry is averaging 4.9 .. dang guess they should cut Henry and save all that money.

Trying to argue a back up is better because they average more yards on a handful of carries is just dumb.

Again no one with a brain watches Pollard and Elliott week in and week out and thinks Pollard is better. That goes beyond dumb to driven by agenda.

All Dallas can control for NEXT YEAR is what they pay Zeke next year in cap dollars. That's it. They can lower his cap hit and use that money in a year they very badly need it to fix the defense or they can pay him large sums of cap cash to walk away to save cap space in 2023. It isn't a tough call for anyone with a brain. You lower his cap, let the starting OL return and see hat he does in 2021. If he is still trending downwards you release him and a post June 1st move when the cap has risen and you can afford it.

Zeke is 5th in the NFL in carries and 6th in rushing yards. Yes that is worth 6M per year. Easily.

It doesn't take a lot of common sense to understand this stuff.

Option A:
Cut bait, pay the freight now, go get a new starting RB with your limited draft resources.

Option B:
Stop acting like a child and reduce the cap hit, let him perform again in 2021 and use the cap cash and draft capital in any of the other 7-8 slots you need to fill.

Derrick Henry, 4.9. Zeke 3.9.

What part of 3.9ypc looks like it's worth 6.2mil/year?

"Dumb to say Pollard is a better back."

Even dumber to pretend people say things that they didn't.

Here's what I said.
"The argument is that Zeke can't produce because the oline can't block. It seems to block fine for Pollard."

For those with reading comprehension problems, I pointed out Pollard's numbers only to remove the excuse of Zeke apologists that Zeke's numbers are so low because the oline can't block.

Ok, so what's your excuse for Zeke's 3.9 ypc?

"handful of carries"
As I pointed out, the numbers I gave were full the *full* seasons, 2020 and 2019, unlike you, who cherry picked one game for Zeke. I can't get anymore carries than *all* of them for the last 2 years.

For Pollard, that's 86 last year, 64 so far this year. 150 carries. You must have big hands.

"All Dallas can control for NEXT YEAR is what they pay Zeke next year in cap dollars."

Adults plan their finances for more than NEXT YEAR. Let's just kick more bad cap hit down the road, cuz MUH NEXT YEAR.

Not true

he was running for 5.3 ypc through 3 qtrs against that ravens solid DL and our garbage OL... not sure why any fan thinks hes done..they wore him out this year being on the field to block like FB , pass routes and his own carries and hes still trying hard..

its sad that our fans try harder to rip our players and go listing others players all day on the zone..

this year we have a backup team around him, that far for asking for an elite line, he needs some holes most times that OL is complete bunch they look like they are standing line at chic filet, no holes, defenders in the backfield, no cut back lanes etc etc..all backs need good OL and an OC to scheme run plays as well as pas splays..zeke is running behind a backup line , no passing threat, players around him not drawing attention away from him..hes the Key every game as the defenses know they dont have to really do anything special in our pass game.

hes ours another year, how about little support ..right? The hate is unreal and unfounded, his paycheck means nothing..the fumbles aside , hes not falling off cliff the team for 2020 is that for sure..

btw ES ran behind an elite like most of his career and had 6-7 years, thats half his career, with under 4.0 YPC avg.not game YEARS... reality check they are both similar backs , get better with volume and are available every game to take the load.. sorry you cant remember google ES career and find out this year the pone Zekes being destroyed for, ES had more then few, 6-7 years of poor AVG.he was on a phreaking HOF TEAM for goodness sakes..

When was the last tike he looked like he was close to breaking a big run? What’s his biggest run of the year? What’s Pollard’s? Zeke doesn’t look anything like the back his rookie year who could make people miss and take it to the house.

24 yards!! Longest of the season. 60 in year 1. The longest of his career! Some might view this as no big deal, but it's a huge problem for a guy carrying the load and then wears down as the season goes on. No homerun ability at all.
60, 30, 41, 33, 24

You don’t pay a running back 90 million to do that. You can find plenty of backs for the same production at a fraction of the cost.

None of that makes sense if you truly believe henry could do that behind our OL is ridiculous, this season if they switched teams Zeke would be havi ng a gret top 5 year as usual over in Tenessee..


to make comp when they have played on different teams behind different lines in 100% different situations..

Pollards numbers are also bad are you serious? Show me where hes rolling so well he should take zekes job zeke doubled up pollard YPC Tuesday? the ol did an admirable job in MN and Balt and guess what zeke ran well..it takes at least some form of blocking for back to succeed.

we are on our 3rd string OL right now , they arent consistent and ay times have been horrible..Henry would not be doing well here..he has a Coach, OC, OL and a starting Qb that all lend to good seasons..Henry's in the same exact position zeke was the first 3 seasons of his career, why did it take HENRY SO LONG? BECAUSE IT TAKES TEAM TO HELP PLAYERS CAREERS..

our OC last season decided to switch to pass happy approach , has some truly vanilla play calls for the run game, the pass game doesnt complement the run game , its disjointed , and us being behind many gamnes due to defense they adndon the run game a lot, lastly the OL has broken down just as much since 2016 he last few years it barely a shell of its old self and this yera we are using our 3rd string OL and have used 4 QBs and been behind in every game..

thats the issues with the run gam this year..

BTW this gets old some of you need to use google more because your memorys are what they want them to be but our Famous best nfl back in NFL history was ntohig more then volume back on ahOF team with one of the BEST OL is nfl history

guess what

Smith had half of his career YPC under 4.0 many many many years just like this on better teams, he only had 3 over 4.5 and one over 5.0

he rarely broke big runs , that was never his game and he held out tweice to be the highest paid RB in the league, his health and longevity and ability's to carry the ball as much as the coaches asked him too added to his greatness but dont get it twisted if ES was to switch with zeke there would hardly be difference and this fan base would rip[ Emmitt smith because they collect narrative due to the internet and Sm having up to the minute information and saturation of shows discussing the NFL..

so again Smith had HALF that 6-7 years of his 13 year career under , that UNDER 4.0 YPC on an obviously better team in a running era, better coaches, better OL, better defense i mean he was on collective SB Team full fo HOFers yet somehow the great Smith who is still the top NFL back in the NFL with yellow jacket

Lastly ES while great was very different then Sanders who was eqaully great we had many great backs during ES era that were all DIFFERENT yet all great.. So what Heny, Chubb, and Cook are also great..its what you do for your career, years will fluctuate as they have for all these backs but for career, Zeke is right there with all of them..many backs close to zekes level have missed full season and many other games due to injury, that matters..

all those big runs did not help Henry's overall YOC for his career before this season henry had 4.9 career YPC and zeke 4.6 yet zeke had 600 more carries and more catches and more tds seriously your eyes are tellig you things that make yuor mind type falsehoods.. yes big runs look good ask Barkley but many runs in those games were under 4yards and that one run [pushed the game stats up, so zeke gets his with more carries yet the YPC very close for thier careers..

its ok to be impressed by others backs but if you continue to rip your own , literally go out of your way to hate your own player over contract you are NOT A FAN..

sure Zeke is not 2016 zeke what payer on this team of the 2016 teams is still as good or better? NoNe they are either gone, injured more then they play, or similar..they all regressed we havent been 13-3 since

13-3 , 9-7, 10-6(started 3-5), 8-8. and now 3-9, seriously tell me all the greatness of that 2016 left over?

in fact the playoff years were the years zeke led the league and was the focus, ironic how that gone straight downhill trying to make Dak AAron rogers and having zero identity now..

big passing stats =glamor stat padding

string run game=playoffs the coaches forgot about this..
Cleveland, Tennessee, and Baltimore , throw in MN all began focusing on the run game and are winning. If zeke wee on those teams right now hed be doing well,..

judging zeke YPC this year is sad for fans to not realize its not really him but then go look at ES stats and find out he had 6-7 years just like this , only difference better team and a coach that would hammer Smith all game regardless of the YPC because it set up PA and 4th quarter success..

Ours is stuck on the blue turf from his college days with bad defense and aging and inconsistent OL..FACTS

outside of the fumbles im not worried about zeke he had 5.2 YPC through 3 QTRS the other day, seen it many times , we have bad team and some of our high priced stars are fan targets and well kudos to you for constantly ripping your own team.shows high character , NOT

TROLLS

https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/S/SmitEm00.htm

go count can you count 7 years of the 13 under 4YPC FIVE under 4.5 TWO season over 4.5 and ONE that just one over 5.0 that on a HOF SB teams with great OL in a running era

THE GREAT EMMITT SMITH EVERYONE.. man if he was playing nowadays making the most money at RB , he would be hated on as well,. we call this bad fan base with a keyboard and the internet..

if you wnat to be blind and go out of your way to rip your own players so be it but dont be ignorant to FACTS!!

Should the Dallas Cowboys Seriously Consider Moving on From Ezekiel Elliott?
by Rick Thomas on December 8, 2020

The Dallas Cowboys are experiencing one of the worst seasons in franchise history. Through 11 games, they hold a dismal 3-8 record, with virtually no postseason hopes. Pundits are eager to assign blame, pointing fingers at everyone from owner Jerry Jones to coach Mike McCarthy. A significant number of commentators have also highlighted Ezekiel Elliott’s poor year.

Some analysts have even suggested that it’s time for the Cowboys to move on from their star running back. Let’s look at Elliott’s NFL career, his poor performance this year, and whether Dallas needs to consider letting him go.

Dallas selected Elliott with the fourth overall pick of the 2016 NFL Draft. At the time, he was considered among the best running back prospects of the last decade. Not only was he fast and strong, but he also had a preternatural gift for pulling down passes — and blocking opponents. Those high expectations proved totally justified during Elliott’s rookie year.

That season, he made 322 rushing attempts for 1,631 total yards (best in the NFL), with 15 touchdowns and 95 first downs. He compiled a whopping 108.7 rushing yards per game, while also catching 32 passes for 363 passing yards. His dominant season earned Elliott both Pro Bowl and First-team All-Pro selections.

Elliott’s second season was marred by a six-game personal conduct violation. He bounced back in years three and four, racking up 1,434 and 1,457 rushing yards, respectively. The 2018 season also saw Elliott catch a career-high 77 passes, for 567 yards and an 81.1% catch percentage. Elliott earned his second and third Pro Bowl selections in those years, while once again leading the NFL in rushing yards in 2018.

Elliott‘s numbers this season have gone down significantly from his prior years. Through 11 games he has totaled just 707 rushing yards. He’s rushing for just 64.3 yards per game, down over 20 yards from his performance just last season. Meanwhile, he’s making just two less rushing attempts per game — not enough to account for such a big drop-off in performance.

Elliott’s yards per touch stat is also at a career-low at just 4.4 yards per touch, meaning he’s not making up for his lost rushing efficiency when it comes to receiving. That fact is borne out by Elliott’s 72.2% catch percentage, which is down significantly from his numbers in both 2018 and 2019. Meanwhile, Elliott has already fumbled the ball six times, which matches his career-worst total.

are you a GM , Owner or CFO of sports team, did Jerry ask your opinion, did the money come out of your bank account? you sure act like it..

id say NO and be confident im correct!!!!

chill the freak out!! fans are far too focus on paychecks that have zero to do with why we used to follow sports, to watch it , to be part of it, best realty entertainment ever yet you have your big brown noses in the wrong place..

these players were paid by their boss, their employers felt it was the correct this to do m they wear the star and play , thats what we want to see the play.. many reasons to why player's are having a bad year, we are bad..we've been on that cliff slowing slipping off since mid season 2019 and it finally got our coaching staff fired, injuries set our climb back up back a year..its major setback and fans trying to cherry picks few players or coaches for the reason is Futile , we are bad as team, no real good to find this season , really since mid season last year, we are upset and grumpy and well get over it..this staff will be back , most if not all these bloated a contract you hate are coming back..you cant complain them away..you can try and all it gets you is what VENTING, they have therapist for that..

now back to football..

well draft status month getting ready for a great 2021!! this is our long preseason ughh

if you wnat to be blind and go out of your way to rip your own players so be it but dont be ignorant to FACTS!!

Lol you lost all credibility by bringing Emmitt Smith up with Elliott. I don’t ever remember Emmitt looking to the sidelines constantly to be taken out of the game.Emmitt never came off the field. Zeke touches the ball twice and he missions to the sidelines lol. The Cowboys would climb on Emmitts back to victory and he would carry them. Zeke isn’t in the same area code as far as toughness and heart. Zeke certainly more athletic than Emmitt but it means squat when he has no heart or is simply disinterested.

So, you really think Zeke is worth the 90 million? You don’t think they could replace his production for far less?

 

[blueblood70]

as does Smith, cooper, Dlaw and others..we all realize that window is about to close and when they begin to be dumped this will because a very different team in more of rebuilding mode now..

mistakes were made because it appeared to be win now team but injuries' set us back, the window was cracked open and players paid to keep it open..it happens..

the next few drafts will be used in preparation for reboot in 3 years or less..

im banking 2021 being lot better just getting our players back is like the best FA class ever..!! add solid Draft a key FA on defense etc im ready!

yup. next year's draft will tell us how they view our team. I really hope they unload resources on the defensive side and hope the O-Line comes back to full health. If we start putting resources in both O-Line and defense, I think they are viewing it as a reboot. It might be the way to go, but it hurts to see the window shutting.

chill the freak out!! fans are far too focus on paychecks that have zero to do with why we used to follow sports, to watch it , to be part of it, best realty entertainment ever yet you have your big brown noses in the wrong place..

these players were paid by their boss, their employers felt it was the correct this to do m they wear the star and play , thats what we want to see the play.. many reasons to why player's are having a bad year, we are bad..we've been on that cliff slowing slipping off since mid season 2019 and it finally got our coaching staff fired, injuries set our climb back up back a year..its major setback and fans trying to cherry picks few players or coaches for the reason is Futile , we are bad as team, no real good to find this season , really since mid season last year, we are upset and grumpy and well get over it..this staff will be back , most if not all these bloated a contract you hate are coming back..you cant complain them away..you can try and all it gets you is what VENTING, they have therapist for that..

now back to football..

well draft status month getting ready for a great 2021!! this is our long preseason ughh

I don’t need to be a GM to see smart teams all over the NFL don’t pay running backs or draft them high much anymore. The game has changed. It’s a passing league and there are plenty of running backs in the middles rounds that end up having great production. In a salary cap era if you can get away with not giving a position a high cap hit and still have great production than you go that route. Look at the most successful franchises over the last 10-15 years, do you see them breaking the bank for running backs?

Lol you lost all credibility by bringing Emmitt Smith up with Elliott. I don’t ever remember Emmitt looking to the sidelines constantly to be taken out of the game.Emmitt never came off the field. Zeke touches the ball twice and he missions to the sidelines lol. The Cowboys would climb on Emmitts back to victory and he would carry them. Zeke isn’t in the same area code as far as toughness and heart. Zeke certainly more athletic than Emmitt but it means squat when he has no heart or is simply disinterested.

So, you really think Zeke is worth the 90 million? You don’t think they could replace his production for far less?

zekes not constanly taken out of the game? NOT

in fact hes on the field for more Offensive snaps since 2016 and increased this year then any skill player in the league. You see what you wan to see and had zero credibility before you responded with me..
some clueless fans dont get facts are there.. zeke plays more offensive snaps then any player in the league since 2016.. you see him leave yet it odd pollard gets under 10 carries and not many OTHER snaps whos playing when hes out? zekes on the field nearly the entire game and you are troll that why you are trying hard to not see facts..do we have a third back i dont know about? pollards on the bench 90% of the game whos on the filed? its zeke
so instead if carrying the ball 30times we are playing from behind hes become the most overpaid Blocker ever , hes in to block, run, go out for passes more then any other back , period..hes hardly not on the field. that not his doing i explained that, you continue to ignore.Other teams rotate 3 backs all game, zeke those 3 backs combined..

they are all there..facts but keep showing your ignorance because its obvious how much you hate Zeke as person..that the word Troll..ignore facts and point out ridiculous little things to support a false narrative..

sorry but you are gone

And I don’t hate Zeke I just don’t think you need to pay a running back that much money. That money could be used for a few good players on defense. I paid love to see Zeke look like his rookie self. It’s not all Zeke the o-line isn’t the same but Zeke has some blame as well. He looks disinterested at times. Fumbles too much and doesn’t seem to run as hard at times. That’s on him.

Wait, this is a Cowboys forum where fans give their opinion on the Cowboys correct? Or is this the Jerry Jones board and we should only be here to praise everything Jerry does? Sorry my opinion has upset you. You must be a very fragile person. Relax, it’s a football forum for fans to give opinions.

90% of everything you said are wrong, its pure opinion ..thats why it easy to google locate information etc so im wasting my time debating with hard head who ignores true facts to carry a narrative over player they like to troll..

when opinions are so out of sync with reality's its not being fragile, its being real..
