And nobody is disputing that.I did. It takes 53 players and a bunch of coaches to win a game. Not just 1 player. Facts.
You're confused.

I've been called worse.And nobody is disputing that.

That, I'm sure, is also a fact.I've been called worse.
Come on, he didn't say that. He's just posting numbers to back up his claims.
Why don't you try and do the same to counter him? Prove him wrong with numbers and facts.
That, I'm sure, is also a fact.
So let me get this straight.. Dallas had more passing yards in fact almost double and more TDs in those last three games but the running game "carried Dallas to those 3 victories?" Besides I thought stats didn't matter.. just wins.. You moving the goal post again? The fact remains that the Cowboys have essentially the same winning percentage WITH Zeke as without him. Obviously the sample size is small but its an undeniable fact nonetheless. I had to go back to 2017 because that was the last time they lost..
His own numbers and facts prove him wrong. He argued that the phase of the offense that almost doubled the output of the other was carried by the less productive one? It's an indefensible position.
The schoolmaster at work.
No, just teacher of the year plaque.Schoolmaster? Are you going to send him love letters next?
I'm moving the goalpost yet you are the one stating Dallas won the last 5 games Zeke was out conveniently omitting the other 3 games which were losses.
I get. Zeke is a great blocker and we're lucky to have a RB that can block as well as him, but he's being paid to a good runner of the football. If we wanted another blocker than we could have used his money for offensive line help.
It just seems like we have the most sensitive group of guys in the NFL. It seems they're babied so much within the organization that any bit of outside criticism just hurts them to the core.
Exactly. No one would discuss zeke’ s weight or lack of productivity yardage wise if he was not getting paid 20 mil a year , which is crazy .Belichick would have never paid Zeke all that money when a RB is not worth it.

If Jarwin even fell down in front of the safety its a walk in.
Sure it is. Let’s cut Zeke because the guy that was supposed to do his job didn’t.If your starting RB can't shake one defender then it is time to look for another RB.
No matter the exact number His deal is costly , His $12.4 million base salary for next season was already guaranteed. His cap number will jump to $18.2 million in 2022 and $16.7 million in 2023. Can you imagine any team paying such a RB anything close to this ? We are stuck with this !!!One he is not making 20 mil a year and two people have been complaining about him one form or another since the day he was drafted.

Dak got better and got more experience. We built a much batter receiving unit. The OL is getting a bit older and isn’t as dominant. The game and the team continues to evolve. It’s a passing league. Tell me the names of the great game changing running backs on last year’s two Super Bowl teams. I’ll wait.While only 1 game into the 2021 season, this goes more toward the offensive approach since 2016 and the win-loss outcome.
When you look at Zeke's rushing attempts vs. Dak's passing attempts, you will see a pattern emerge:
2016: Dallas was 13-3 (Zeke had 322 rushes vs. Dak's 459 attempts)
2017: Dallas went 9-7 (Zeke had 242 rushes vs. Dak's 490 attempts) (Zeke suspended 6 games that year)
2018: Dallas went 10-6 (Zeke had 304 rushes vs. Dak's 526 attempts)
2019: Dallas went 8-8 (Zeke had 301 rushes vs. Dak's 596 attempts)
2020: Dallas went 6-10 (Zeke had 244 rushes vs. Dak's 222 attempts) (Dak missed 11 games due to injury)
2021: Dallas is 0-1 (Zeke had 11 rushes vs. Dak's 58 attempts)
The point is when the offense was focused on Zeke running the ball Dallas had more team success whereas when the offense focused on the passing game, the team success wasn't there. While some will point to the defense as the issue, the defense played well enough from 2016-2019 with 2020 being the outlier.
