Trade Zeke and get a decent corner

[Cowpolk]

Very bad idea. Is this a troll thread?

Gurley was exhibit A, but zeke is making a case too

It's amazing teams are still doing big RB deals too- didn't Green Bay just pay Aaron Jones huge money too? They won't learn.

So now it's ...why did we pay Zeke so much......hmmmm? What happened to....get all ya can while ya can, it's a business.

problem is our only other back on the roster at that point was rookie Pollard, and we did still have Alfred Morris... but he was already used up. We should have spent another mid or lay round pick on a more bell cow style back. And let Zeke play out the rookie deal then walk.

yeah GB just paid Aaron Jones nearly Zeke money and consequently lost their starting all-pro center, Corey Linsley, to the Chargers, following his friend Bryan Bulaga who left GB to LAC last year. As a consequence of these major OL losses, Rodgers' lack of pass protection will cost them big games this year

Yes, a RB is a rookie deal then let him go.

The guys coming out of college have better quicks and speed than those with NFL mileage on them.

& you don't take one in the first round. Even Clyde Edwards Helaire, I thought that was a wasted/luxury pick by the Chiefs at 32 after winning the SB. There were better, more impactful players on the board.

LOL Zeke pretty much insured no RB will get paid big money again

Just look at the first week. Who would spend a lot of money on a RB? The NFL is moving so fast away from the run. It wouldn't surprise me if we see 67% or more pass and 33% or less run this year.

BINGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Running backs are all over the place, one contract then move on unless they are cool with a similiar deal.

I'd be happy if we could get a ham sandwich for him.

Dak would have gotten laid out if it weren’t for Zeke’s pass blocking.. Ask Arians about him..

Taco was a bust so we had to keep DLaw and lose Byron Jones. Jones wasn't the best, but he was decent.

I'm starting to question if we really do draft as well as some say.

 

[rambo2]

This isn’t 2016 anymore. Dak threw for more touchdowns, yards, and less interceptions than Rodgers and Mahomes did COMBINED against that same amazing defense in just 1 game compared to 2. We can win PLAYOFF games with his arm and a better defense.

This isn't realistic. You can't just get the corner that you want because you want to. I have a feeling that we will see Wright or Joseph starting soon.

Well, they did draft Dak. Look at what the other teams in the division have at qb.

Highly doubtful. CEH is a stud and played a huge part in their super bowl run. Exactly who are you saying would have been more impactful?

We don't.

Zeke was a flash in the pan, one hit wonder. Once again the unenlightened on this board will continue to vouch for him though his only good year was 2016.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Trade Zeke

Who is trading for Zeke?

 

[big dog cowboy]

his only good year was 2016.

Yet he won the NFL rushing title twice and likely would have been 3 times if not wrongly suspended.

I trade Gallup and jaylon( doubt they’d take his contract) or Gallup and a pick.

Forget Capologist…...on this board, we have Salaryologist.
