Why? It would take 4 weeks to get into shape. So he won't snap something.
Because his hamstrings, ligaments, tendons and muscle and fat have not lifted anything heavier than a Mexican beauty since .... realisticaly his lackluster game against the Rams!

I want to see Tony Pollard running for 150 yards in game 1!
Zeke, on the sidelines looking on, and regretting his hold out. Oh, drama! O, Death!

Will you be happy to see a great Pollard emerge?
If not shake your head.
OK

150? Let's be real.
Pollard has never done that, ever. Actually, he had 1 single game in 3 seasons over 100 yards.
Elliott not only had 22 100+ games in college, he had 8 games with over 150.

And there's the NFL level.

Pollard wasn't the main back and you need more than 8 carried to get over 150 yards. Being a featured back in a run first team would make that possible.

There is a reason why not many teams don’t feature a running back...it’s not as easy as it seems.

It takes a true specimen to touch the ball up to 30 times a game and still have enough in the tank to close a game in the 4th quarter. Some backs are better suited just receiving 8 carries a game..see Marion Barber.

And he would have another 8 yard game like against Denver.....

So you’re going to use one game from over a season ago when the whole offense struggled in the thin air?

Pretty sure the OP could come back with 20 games where Zeke proved his worth.

Not more worth than a franchise QB.

I do agree bell cow backs getting 30 carries a game isn't easy to find. That being said I see no reason Pollard can't get 20 carries a game.

He gets here when he gets here if he gets here. As a fan I cheer the made plays and anguish over the ones that were missed. If a player isn't here due to injury or hold out there is little else for me to do than turn my attention to the ones who are here.
