Yeah but I’d be careful Packers for whatever reason went running back in the draft. I love Mark Mack next season though.
I forgot GB drafted Dillon. Colts drafted a RB too.. Johnathan Taylor, so both those guys numbers may dip.

Totally okay with being critical of Zeke. But hey...we'll be critical of Dak too...right?

I've already gone on record as being a Zeke homer. But I have ALSO said SEVERAL TIMES! Did not like the hold out , pay day...or reporting out of shape.

But dare I say Dak throws in the ground behind a receiver and there's holy hell to pay.

And yes.....I believe there are people in here convincing us to hate our won players....and it's my PERCEPTION you...mingle. If you are "critical" a LOT......then you might be guilty. Sorry just the way it is.
I have zero problems with someone criticizing Dak. I have a problem criticizing Dak for throwing behind a receiver but then turning around and excusing Romo for doing the same exact thing.

That would be like me criticizing Zeke for not being able to hit a home run and then turning around and coming up with reasons why Murray wasn’t able to hit a home run his final 3 years in Dallas. I consider it a weakness both of them have had because they both. I don’t get on Zeke for fumbling and excuse Murray for his fumbles.

That’s what happens with Dak and Romo.

Did this formula include how they got to the goal line? Ask Emmitt how he got many of his TD's. Michael Irvin would catch the pass, get tackled on the 1, Emmitt with the best OL ever would score.

Zeke that past 2 years has been working with a handicap, as well as the OL being subpar to what it was. That is not an excuse in itself. But that handicap was play calling and Garrett. That is the main reason.

So maybe not exactly cherry picked, so maybe grape picked instead. :laugh:
I remember that!

Irvin was one of the most dangerous receivers after he caught the ball. He would fight for every inch and get tackled around the 1 or 2 yard line. He'd get pissed and start pumping his fists in anger just as you saw Emmitt running up to him with this huge smile on his face. One or two plays later, Emmitt would increment his TD total.

It was just bizarre how many times that would happen.

Does anybody know the quarterback with the best career passer rating in the last two minutes of a game in the NFL since 1994?

It's former Cowboy backup quarterback Stephen McGee.

I hold this stat in equal regard to the one we are discussing.

For whatever reason is right. It’s almost as if they’ve had enough of A Rodgers smugness and are trying to set him up for failure to cut him loose. I know that doesn’t make sense but why they skipped over receivers is more than puzzling. It’s right up there with the Eagles skipping a receiver in the 2nd and drafting a QB.
I don't get how they went in a deep wide receiver draft and picked a quarterback and running back. Only thing I Can think is they are trying to screw him and are tired of him like you said.

Apologies. Need to make a Correction, because it looks like I said two different things in two posts.. 75 times was 2018. He ran it 52 times last year and 57 times in years 1 and 2. In 2018, he ran his lowest yards per attempt and his longest was a 28 yarder. So when he ran more, his efficiency dropped considerably.
ok I didnt remember him running that much last season.
So when he ran more, his efficiency dropped considerably..... well this would depend on what type of runs they were.
they rarely do well on the run option or other designed run plays.
QB's who take off from the pocket, or from a rollout are the ones who do well running, and that is something dak does not do enough of.

No defense, so go emoji and laugh it off.

We have been down this road before. You listed every part of the team except the offense, telling.

No need to respond.

Why would I mention the #1 rated offense in football as one of the biggest reasons for the 8-8 season?

You rank it the #1 reason. LOL

That right there says it all about how you understand the game of football.

If you can't decipher the difference between the stat you posted and the one I did.....then that's on you. That's your issue not mine. Posters shouldn't have to baby other posters on this site.

Another PFF made up stat?
I can create a formula that shows Olawale is the best even on a few runs.
:laugh:


But none of us know for sure that they cherry picked certain plays to come up with this. It was probably ALL of the goal to goal rushing plays. You're wanting to do the very same thing you're accusing PFF of doing.

I am not doing anything. Just pointing out a fact that happens over and over.
How many stats did they or someone else come up with about Dallas and Romo's failures in December or other times frames. But then finally someone came out with stats that showed accomplishments as well.
If not cherry picked stats, then cherry picked topics. :laugh:

Actually I can care less if Zeke was at the top or at the bottom.
I just want them to fix ALL goal line or even red zone scoring issues.

The INCONSISTENT offense was the primary reason for Dallas under performing last year.

You believe that because Dallas had the most YARDS in the NFL that this absolves them from fault. That is how little you understand the game.

We have been over this many times, but you refuse to acknowledge the facts. The offense did not show up many weeks(5 times)last year, this caused Dallas to lose, plain and simple.

You believing Dallas was the best offense last year is like the one eyed man being king in the land of the blind.

Was there any ranking for Zeke in this thread from the source?

There are no advanced metrics where Zeke is an elite running back. He's one of the only backs in the league that doesnt share carries, plays behind a top 5 offensive line, and played for a coach trying to recreate the mid 90s running attack. That's why his total yard numbers are so good and uneducated fans think he is elite. He was elite his first two years. Right now, I'm not convinced he's any better than Pollard. There are probably about 20-30 backs in the league that if they got the same number of carries as him behind this line would be putting up 1500 yards every year. Other teams just aren't stupid enough to do that. They can spend $1 million on 2-3 backs and get the same production.

Says a handful of trolls. Facts don't support your stance they support mine.

I am not a troll. I give opinion based on facts, not what I believe or want the facts to say.

The reason you cannot admit to this is because your pet cat Prescott is the leader of the offense. In your mind anything negative about the offense is a slight on Prescott. And God knows that cannot be allowed. That's why you will always see the offense through rosecolored glasses and not reality.

Let me quote you again

To do what you claimed you could do is to use a much smaller sample size or cherry pick plays Now if you really don't care where Elliott was in the list why would you want to change the outcome of the stat PPF has? I was a huge Romo fan and the Cowboys did have a less than stellar December record but like those that want to blame Prescott for every loss the Cowboys have had, there were/are people that want to blame Romo for all the losses in December. They fail to realize that a missed block or tackle or a holding penalty or a PI penalty or a back that fumbled 4 times in the red zone one season all at crucial times led to many of the Cowboys losses Things out of Romo's control.

you just validated my comments in a way.
So a missed blocked is the reason for Romos failures, but it is not taken into account for Zeke and this stat.
Well ok then...
