Dak carried Ezekiel Elliot not the other way around

Of course. But you spend a Top-5 pick on a RB and then give him a huge contract and this is what happens. A RB isn't making anyone better in a passing league. When the QB goes down and the OL has injuries, it doesn't matter if you have Zeke, Barry Sanders, or Troy Hambrick.

No. Running the ball well sets everything else up. We've gotten away from that.

I'm telling y'all, player cohesion and leadership is important. It is EXTREMELY clear as day that they didn't play as hard as they could've. I'm not sure if its because they don't have Dak, but something was EXTREMELY off tonight. Haven't seen such a piss poor perfomance since.... since.... I DON'T EVEN KNOW. That's how bad we played tonight.

Zeke has now now rushed for 100+ yards twice in the last 14 games. Let that sink in.

I got roasted for saying that RB's are easily replaced and it would be a mistake to sign him to a big contract. "Zeke is different." :rolleyes:

Idk

Dak struggled early in his career when he was called upon to throw the ball alot

last year and this year we saw his maturation into a QB that could sling the ball around at an elite level

Stop with the lies!

Dak has not carried Zeke one bit. Zeke is in a funk, but you don't have to be on here baldface capping, OP.

True, just don't see these guys creating many holes. They're just bad, man. Depleted.
I think they would suck less at run blocking than in pass protection but yeah, sucks either way lol

I wouldn't say that. They compliment each other. A LOT. One without the other, and the balance is thrown off.

We can't win with either out. And if we do, it will be by the luck of the Gods.
