Zeke isnt as good as a top 3 of all-time running back? :huh:


Weird Flex but ok :huh:
Zeke isn’t even top 3 in the league. Other RBs are doing more with less talent around them. Dude can’t make a guy miss to save his life. It would be nice for him to break one 30+ yard run this year. . He also can’t run the ball 3 times in a row and stay on the field. He always needs a breather.

Just off top of my head McCaffrey and Dalvin Cook look much better. They actually can hit home runs and make guys miss. I would also say Saquon is much better even though he’s hurt right now.

Emmitt managed to maintain the ability to elude free defenders with subtle moves, lateral quickness and just guile. That allowed him to play at a respectable level late into his career. Zeke needs to figure this out and adjust. The battering ram types tend to fall off a cliff in a blink.
He has. Just check all the trolls here crying that Zeke doesn’t break tackles any more.

Cook and McCaffrey are both little scat backs who need to play within a system that keeps them in space. These guys are Lance Dunbar types. Different style of player completely.

Dak couldn't carry Aikman's jock strap.....since we're going there.
Aikman didn't do crap his first 3 years and his last 3 years when he had no Oline. Every good QB needs a good Oline and weapons. That's a fact.

The Cowboys are full of stars but for the last three weeks, they are void of players.

Why is this even a discussion? Emmit Smith was the greatest RB of all time. Stop with any Barry, Gale Sayers, Payton.
Emmit reached every milesonte, Yards, TD's, Rings, toughness, if you needed a first down he got it. He carried this team on his back to a SB.
The Shoulder game against the Giants. Go watch the replay of Cowboys vs Bills II, Aikman was in Looney toon land as he was concussed from the week before.
We just need Zeke to play like 2016.

Both of those guys are over 200lbs not sure why you think they’re little. They actually play with balance and Dalvin runs through the middle. He’s not out it open space but good try.

Nope...not even in the same stratosphere.

It is an outright joke we paid thisnguy what we did. Emmitt was considered to be slow but he is 10 times as fast as Zeke.

Emmitt's vision was amazing...Zeke's is non existent.

Zeke actually a good game on Sunday, but I watch other RB's all week and marvel at their ability to make plays. To make cuts and make guys miss. If Zeke doesnt have big holes he doesnt go. And even when he does, they are marginal gains. On one play last week to the outside he cut right into the tackle instead of setting up his block and cutting outside.

He is NOT patient and isnt very good at setting up blocks.

Sweet Jesus.....you're right he didn't do much is 1st 3....neither did Jerry, Jimmy or the rest of 'em. That point is irrelevant about Dak unable to carry his jockstrap.
