Is the best back in the nfl?

Anyone out there still thinks it was smart to pay him 15 million?
Yes hes had 3 100+ yard games in a row..If u actually watched the game Dallas ran it EVERY 1st down Vikings were stacking the box w 8 or 9 guys..of course he couldn't run..terrible play calling..Dak had almost 400 yards because Vilings were playing the run 100%

Dude, if you don't have All 22, I suggest you go watch the holes that were open the entire game, and the way they clogged the box the entire game. Has Zeke lost a step yes, but if you think CMC and Cook wont be getting a pay day after this season your wrong, and show me any of them that have two rushing titles damn near three in three seasons.

Dude thank God for other actual FANS that watch more than flashy plays and disect the problems with the game. When people play the Cowboys they target Zeke, now that Dak is a monster, once we get rid of damn Jason Garrett, they won't be able too.

Garrett kinda threw Kellen under the bus at the press conference

And Zeke isnt making 15 million...he has 2 years making 2.5 so basically he got a extention of 90 mil 8 years for 90 mil that's nowhere near 15 a year

Wow......that changes everything. Lol

No one is arguing that Cook wasn't the better back this game or this season. I think CMC and Cook are the best backs this season. But this isn't madden you cant see someone in another position doing well and than wish you had them. And then when there not doing well switch it again. We have a top 5 back he's been a top 5 back relax and let him grow.

Um not as much as they did. They moved Harrison Smith on blitzes and in the box ALL night. Even when Dak started to throw he was there. We did not blitz or move a safety up for run help the entire game. So NO we did not stack the box like they did. I advise y'all to watch the All-22's for yourself. Instead of coming on these forums and just believing whoever says bs.

First of all, it's "Cook." Not Cooks. Get a guys name right if you're gonna annoint him.

Second of all, no we didn't stack the box. Our backers were 7-8 yards off the LOS and our safeties were normal depth. We played based defense with no adjustment for Cook.

Third, I've already seen you claim Barkley and Kamara as the best backs in the league. So, not only are you pulling stuff out of your butt, but you can't even keep up with it.

Cooks shredded whatever we did. Made our guys look silly.


He’s just a better back.

zeke looked like a turd.

Gurley contract looks bad
Bell contract looks bad
Zeke contract TBD but he hasn’t broken a long run in two years

signing running backs to big second deal just seems like a bad idea.

Zeke will continue to put up big stats because the Cowboys run the ball a lot, he gets 95% of the carries, and he plays behind a solid offensive line. People that don’t understand nuance will continue to point to his rushing yards as evidence of why he should be paid big money. You’ll never convince them otherwise.
