Bad pick by the Giants.

Never made sense for that franchise and he was a luxury they couldn't afford.

At least with Dallas they had a foundation in place and you could validate picking a RB that high.

NYG was a trash team and had no business picking him.
I don't recall who was available at #4 for them?

Hope he fully recovers. AD had a 2K yard season after his ACL.

Dont waste your time. Cowboy fans are ungrateful and spoiled.
LOL...I think you meant players, specifically a RB who has been spoiled his entire career with great O lines and surrounded by offensive weapons. He was so grateful he set a new precedent by holding out with two years left on his contract, demanded to be paid the highest for his position and wouldn’t even show up to training camp.

Yeah...the fans are spoiled :rolleyes: a synonym for ezekiel elliott is spoiled, along with diva, punk, and bully

While they did/do have a terrible OL, he still had an outstanding rookie season in which he had over 2k scrimmage yards.

The mistake was moreso not doing more to improve that OL sooner rather than draft a generational talent
Agreed. But lets not call him a generational talent. The guy has been getting hit in the backfield since Penn. Hes never been a between the tackles guy, and he sucks in pass protection. If you want to be generational. You gotta at least be an all around back.

Again, it depends on how he recovers. Another 1,500 - 2,000 yard season and he'll be resigned, running backs that can do that are still valuable. If he comes back next year and isn't at least close to what he was in his rookie year, I suspect he'll be let go...

oh I understand your position, it just doesn't sway my wonder. It's really rhetorical. And I'm not entirely sure having a big year justifies paying him... on that team. Hence my wonder.

So is Adrian Peterson and Frank Gore for 1/100th of the price. Injuries to guys who train regularly are also freak accidents, zeke could tear his ACL tomorrow so does that mean he’s not a good RB? No.
Huh? AP has missed 35 games throughout his career to Zeke's 0.....that's durable?

And you are sitting here saying Gore and AP are in Zeke's class right now?


And I never said Barkley wasn't good. I'm telling you what you get with Zeke. He's durable.

A bunch of QB’s went that year but it doesn’t matter, they had no business picking a RB that high with as many needs as they had, especially with a horrendous O line. They should have gone with Nelson IMO.

Yeah, AP also tore his ACL if ai remember correctly and still came back to kick azz. We’ll see where zeke is when he’s 35.

Lol, not right now but you were telling me zeke was great because of his durability. So as far as that goes, Gore and AP are much better because they are older and still putting up decent numbers.

Let's see if Garrett can coach em up. Show us if he is a great offensive mind :popcorn:
I feel like Cowboy fans want Garrett to be far more important than he really is over there lol. Anytime someone gets signed its a "Garrett hire". Anytime someone gets hurt its time for Garrett to coach them up. It like y'all think Joe Judge works for him lol.

Eagles can't play 4 quarters, Giants were sucking even before these injuries, and WFT doesn't look that good either. Division win by default?

#2 was their pick.

#3 Was Sam Darnold.
#4 was Denzel Ward (all pro cb)
#5 was Bradley Chubb (12 sacks as a rookie) ACL in 19
#6 was Quenton Nelson
# 7 was Josh Allen
#8 was Roquan Smith...

Man you don't even know what you're arguing anymore lol. You've backed yourself into a corner on this Zeke debate that you can't move. You are now resorting to what Zeke will at 35 in order to say Zeke sucks now lol.

They wont


They will take Penei Sewell
Why do you think they'll be loyal to Daniel?

If they're #1 pick bad, that probably means he played terribly this season. The head coach didn't draft him and they'll probably get a new GM.
