Zeke is easily the best player on this team

We all witnessed what happened when Zeke was out for games.
Our offense broke all records going 15 str Quarters offense without a single TD.
Zeke also contributes to our passing attack as without the PA I highly doubt Dak could go over 150 yards passing.
Zeke was and still is the foundation of our offense.
Best Pick we've had the last decade.

Football illiteracy at its finest folks.

It has already been noted that there are 2 simple facts about playaction passing

It is far more effective than non-playaction passes
The strength or weakness of the team's running game makes virtually no difference in the effectiveness of playaction passes

https://www.footballoutsiders.com/stat-analysis/2018/rushing-success-and-play-action-passing

Then on to your usual hate of Dak Prescott. Dak was only 6th in the NFL in playaction pass attempts in 2019, but was 3rd in playaction pass attempt yards. Yet even if you subtract all his PA attempt yards (1239) from his total passing yards (4902), he still averages 228+ passing yards per game.

While missing Zeke obviously hurts the offense because he is a great player, if you compare what happens when Zeke is out vs when Tyron Smith has been out, then you will start to see an even more telling fact that offensive line play is the driving force behind this team's success. (Big surprise </sarcasm>)

But hey, facts be damned when trying to discount a player or person you don't like.

And this folks is why emotions make people look like fools.

He’s not worth the money in my book, but only because of the position he plays. He’s a great all-around back, though.

Thats just foolish. Without Emmitt our team has 2 rings only.

Zeke is worth every dime he's paid. Best rb in nfl. One of the very few 3 down backs in the game.

Zeke is worth every dime he's paid when he's in shape. First time in 2 seasons he came into the season in better shape.

He gives you your best chance to win..
I would like to see him break loose in the open field more though.
He can and most likely will lead the league in rushing just on ground and pound alone.

Derrick Henry is only 15 yards ahead of Zeke with 12 more carries.
Aaron Jones had like an 80 yard TD last week.

Best chance is both the QB with the running game, imo.

He might be, or maybe it's a Dak. Who knows, in a year or two maybe CeeDee gets a few votes. I never think much about who's the best player on the team, too busy cheering for the Cowboys to do the best team on the field. One thing we do know, whomever it may be, he will need a good supporting cast for the team to have success.

His 185 yards in the first 2 games is the best start of his career. He's also 3rd in the NFL in rushing right now.

Not too bad considering where we were in both those games especially game 2. Just not gonna get a ton of yards down 20 points.

You can compliment Zeke without bashing Dak. The act is old. Stop annoying everyone around here.

LOL the Dak Trolls are upset oh my......wonder why Zeke got his deal and Dak is on the Tag?
Is Jerry a Hater?
Zeke is worth every penny and without him, TD would be a rare event...

Put some respect on his name.

Dak was offered 35M per for 5 years. It didnt happen because he wanted franchise tag not to be allowed in 5 years.

I wish my bosses hated me this much.

What a clown.

He may not be worth all that money (his $90 million is still wayyyy more than any other RB), but I totally agree with you that he looks to be in great playing shape this year. Looked like he was running in mud at times last year, but he’s got lots of juice again this season! You can feel the passion and determination in his runs

It's the new tats. :muttley:

He is ballin' isn't he? Renewed Zeke! Go Cowboys!!

When he has an offensive line of 2016 then I will ask him for 2016 performance.

not saying its you but many people are using this line to condemn our QB. Implying that they are a good offensive line. I would hope that they come together and Gel but anyone who says this line is anywhere what it used to be is confused. Now getting back to Zeke i like what i se at the start of this year compared to what I saw last year. Im hoping for another rushing crown.

Im not sure so many have to condemn Dak to praise Zeke and visa versa. Im not a big Zeke fan(except on sunday) but were lucky to have him especially in terms of blocking help this year. We are also lucky to have dak

I've been critical. He has definitely come into seasons out of shape. He looked like he had lost a step. But he is easily the best player on this team. He is a good to great runner, a pretty good pass catcher, a great blocker and helps to keep the team organized on the field. He is worth the money.

Ironically, the team would be better if he wasn't on it.

He's producing more for the team than anybody else making his paycheck.

RoboQB said:
If Dallas is to win the Super Bowl, or even make it to the NFC Championship,
it will most likely be because of Zeke. That's not a knock on anyone.

Look at it this way...……….Zeke had a great first game and we lost. He had a bad to average game in the 2nd game and we won. Less Zeke is more. This team is much better when Dak is leading the charge.

Zeke is definitely not the best back in the NFL. Zeke is definitely NOT with the money. Im convinced that many of you don't even watch any other teams play.

There were two better backs in the Monday night game this week.

Name-calling a DakTroll trademark.
Anyway, your issues aren't with me and your complaints can be directed to reality and Jerry Jones.
Reality will once prove the following weeks that Dak is a Tier 3 QB and Jerry Jones will upset you DakTrolls once again come the Spring when he lets Dak leaves us.
Now grow up and face reality its really not that scary as not every QB in the NFL has the talent base to command a top 5 contract.

P.S. Concerning those contract terms can you please provide evidence cause twitter and these forums here are not Proof on what offer Dak was given.
Personally, I feel he was LOW BALLED BIG TIME

IF Jerry had signed Dak in 2018 as he should have, he would have only had to pay $28-$30 mil per year tops and gotten the 5 year extension he wanted. 2 years later he is now offering BELOW MARKET price for the same amount of years?? Get real!

Maybe. But that just means a lot of guys have underperformed their deals for us so far. The replacement cost for a RB is still relatively cheap, and the position just doesn’t affect the outcomes of games very much.

That whopping 4.0 yards per carry and two fumbles last game is very replaceable. And the 5.5 yards per reception is pathetic actually.

Heck...…..……...Dak had to run in 3 short TD's because Zeke isn't effective enough. And who can forget him getting stuffed on the 2 point conversion at the end of the game? Although I fully conceded that was a dumb play call.
