Wow you had a tough night.
I’ll try to clarify for you. You are implying that Zeke is only good because of volume of carries. I clearly brought up Emmitt because someone who doesn’t understand this game like you are showing would have made the same argument to bash Emmitt during his career. It’s ignoring everything else that makes these guys who they are. Both players brought more than volume or neither would have gotten the volume they got.

It’s clear you have an anti Zeke bias or you just don’t understand what you are watching.


When it was Emmitt...he was DURABLE. Dependable. Warrior. Future Hofer. Emmitt had 360 carries several seasons. SO he';s only "great because of volume"? Nope they won;t say it.

Zeke has only had like 320 max.....which is like an AVERAGE for Emmitt. Now that it's zeke...welll he just has too many carries. "he's only great because of volume" and they'll keep hammering that.

It makes NO sense. But don't bother calling him out on the double standard. Waste of time and he'll drag you down with it. He'll muddle it up and play victim.

Usually if you keep handing the rock off....it's a virtue. unless it;s a player you HATE for no real honest factual reason. That involves hypocrisy and double standards. Maybe more.

12 pages going back and forth with the usual suspects guys. Rethink some things.
I’ll never lay off the ewok until he’s no longer a Cowboy and that day can’t get here soon enough.

Right? I regressed just a little bit right there, but I wanted another forum member to know I support him. ...but I surely had more fun the last couple says "rethinking things" rather than engaging "the usual suspects".

Good call....sincerely. Good advice.

I wanted JJ to trade him to NY for the #2 pick so we could get Barkley. But what do I know. Truth is Zeke isn't that great anymore, a few hard early years slowed him down plus I think he turned it down a bit after his big deal. BTW, IMHO he isn't worth his $. But they did the deal right and are set up to cut him in 2 years.

But all that being said, he's still pretty darn good. I'm glad we still have him for these 2 years.

Wouldn't it be better for your blood pressure if you didn't?
Nah, BP is just fine...usually 115-120/75-80 but I appreciate your concern. It’s the regular season games that would do it.

Steve (cowboy lover) is a good guy but is an insufferable OSU fan who has been memorized by zeke during their championship run in 15 I think it was maybe 14.

I went round and round with him for months when the cowboys took him 4th. I thought it was dumb then and even dumber to e tend him a year early.

That said on sundays I cheer hard for him just like I’m sure he cheers for the rest of the team but expecting him to believe anything negative about zeke is like winning an argument with your wife.

rarified air
I think you might have forgotten that I have said many times over......Zeke should not have held out, should not have been paid....and came back out of shape. I am very critical of that move on his part.

Can't say it's product, either....to still fight about draft position or salary at this point. I think he's a top NFL back...that has helped keep Dak healthy with durableness, being able to hand off so much, reliable safety valve...and of course the blocking (that he of course has a few wiffs).

I don;t really look to sports and entertainment people to be my moral compass. Unless of course it's really bad and obvious. If so, that;s great too but not my requirement. I happen to think Zeke has some sort of condition that he and "his people" have been hiding. He's a strange guy.

So...I'm a Buckeye homer...AND a Cowboy homer. I have been for 45+ years. Back in those days I could root for my team without hassle. Oh the wonders of modern technology.

So I give clear data about where a player stands in those categories, and you... want to call me ignorant just for stating those stats?

Nothing of substance just dropping in to make a stupid claim. You can't even make a cohesive counterpoint? Like not even one? That's so sad. Seriously it's pathetic. I'd say you could do better, but I honestly don't think you can. You might just be too far gone, too ignorant.

Starforever I'm telling you IGNORANCE IS NOT BLISS, IT MAKES YOU LOOK STUPID!! Stop believing that you being ignorant isn't a bad thing.

What a response, you are the man. Put me in my place. You are still speaking from a biased point of view. You only used stats that would bolster your ignorant view. Zeke, may not be someone you like, but stop with the hand picked articles, and using them as your stance.

I just had to know he who he was talking to because it was someone I had on ignore, now I know why. Can you name me one stat that the ewok leads in other than carries and total yards which has been proven over and over again to be a worthless stat?

It’s not yards per carry, it’s not broken tackles, it’s certainly not speed, nor receptions, nor yards after catch, nor yards after contact, nor defenders made missed, not even short yards situations which is allegedly his forte amongst all the Cowboys fans who live in a bubble.

Other than blocking and grabbing the ball behind one of the best O lines in football, what exactly makes him “elite” or even top 5 for that matter? There’s a lot of RB’s doing much more with much less.

BTW, I’m temporarily unblocking you just to hear your response, I feel like I need to kill a few brain cells. Maybe if I converse with you for another decade I can finally get to zeke’s level.

The reason you blocked me in the first place, was your continued foolishness was called out concerning another person's lifestyle and character. Continue to be the smug juvenile that you are. I never stated that Zeke was the best anything. I just refute the biased, ignorance that denies his career this far.

Bwahahahahahaha...calling me juvenile for calling out a grown man who acts like a 14 year old boy and wears his shirt and carries purses like a 14 year old girl? Lol, that’s good stuff...being called juvenile for calling out juvenile behavior that puts the entire team at risk.

I’ve also posted several articles, with STATISTICAL evidence, to back up my “biased ignorance”. Would you like to see them again or do you just want to deny the several statistics that prove zeke ain’t all that (especially taking into consideration the O line he has had)?

Yes, YOU come across as an adult.
