Stephen Jones doesn't see drop off with Zeke

[gimmesix]

That's pretty ridiculous. He had his worst season average (3.8 per carry) this year and the drop-off has been clear since he got hurt the previous season.

I've been a Zeke defender, believing he and Pollard made a good one-two punch. He averaged 4.2 yards per carry in 2021 and until that injury looked like the old Zeke. This year, he had his moments, but as the season wound down, he just looked like an old Zeke.

Time to recognize that the wall won and move on. I was initially in favor of keeping him if he extremely lowered his contract, but I think we'd be better off getting some young legs to pair with Pollard. Tag Pollard for a year and see if the new back can make him expendable the next year. Then, draft a No. 2 for that back. Rinse and repeat in a few years.

And this is one of the biggest problems with this franchise, never know when to let guys go. Zeke is probably still one of his biggest jersey sellers

This is exactly why I stopped listening to Stephen and Jerry a long time ago. Everything they say is BS, but you can read between the lines if you want.

All this means is to expect Zeke back as a Cowboy at a reduced rate, meanwhile Jerry/Stephen want to be very careful about offending anyone.

Good point. They never really fired JG, and than they “mutually” decided to get rid of Moore.

Witnessing Jerry Jones run the team is akin to watching a corrupt dictator of a banana republic - no hope. And Mr. "didn't see a drop off" (Stephen) has no football acumen at all; isn't fooling anyone either.

Ok now they are just blowing smoke…..

The wrong kind, and up the wrong nevermind

 

[Coogiguy03]

They are committed to see this through (Dak and Zeke's careers).

Right in the ground

 

[Coogiguy03]

Zeke's value has gone up now that he has gotten some reps at the center position.

No gotten reps that he's going to stay

Lol lol I just said that to someone, he'll be back!! Get him out of here

 

[Majic]

Come on guys, he was always coming back after a pay cut.

 

[Big_D]

WOW Hopefully they're bluffing??? But I doubt it wit these clowns.

 

[RS12]

Why? Did he nose out 53 y/o Emmitt in a 40 yard dash?

 

[TwistedL0g1k]

This, in a nutshell, is precisely why the Cowboys cannot reach the next level.

That's just a laughably absurd belief. Pathetic really....

All you Zeke haters are ridiculous, must be a hidden agenda conspiracy to rob the Salvation army bucket from being jumped into every 3 years

This is the difference between reality and lah lah land. Lah lah land, let’s trade Dak, Zeke, Schultz can walk, yada yada yada. But in reality world, the Jones boys do what tf they want, and it’s usually the opposite of what fans think or want.

Settle down guys. The best thing to do in these situations is keep and extend Elliott until the NFL makes wheelchairs legal on the field.

Hidden? Can you see the screen?

 

[Cowboy_svt]

Hidden? Can you see the screen?

Moore couldnt see the screen either

 

[infamousstyles]

Lol zeke sells way too many jerseys for him to be cut. And once your apart of the "family" you don't leave unless he wants you to. All of that zeke offseason cut stuff just needs to stop. Ain't happening lol

 

[removed_20241105]

Me either.

He sucked last year too.

Was going to post thoughts but, you closed the thread with your post IMO.

 

[ClappingCarrot]

The saddest part of this news is, I don't think they're lying at all.
