Is Zeke still a top 5 RB?

Let’s see how he responds. This could be the star that MM benches. If he comes in doing this crap again then put him on the bench the rest of the game and cram Pollard down a teams throat all day. See if that opens his eyes. MM better get control of this team or he will lose his job. Or the players will take over. If they haven’t already.

Hell, he’s already lost two fumbles that resulted in TD’s for the other teams. I would have though he would “respond” by now, which he has, with 2 more fumbles.

Seriously, he fumbled 2 times on 3 carries against Atlanta but it was all swept under the rug an not a big concern because we won with a flukey onsides kick. Had Dak thrown an INT that resulted in a TD for the other team (mind you he is handling the ball more than twice as much as zeke) then there would still be threads about it.

he really is an unlikeable turd. A lot of guys on this team fall in that category, but he leads the charge. You can definitely say he’s the best in that area!

Purse carrying, entitled bully diva and people support him. If he were closer to a scrub then his same supporter would be screaming for him to be cut. I don’t compromise my thoughts due to production, I don’t care how many sacks or yards or catches or whatever stats a player has, if they’re a pos then I’m not afraid to say it.

A great offensive line can make an average running back into an all pro. A bad offensive line can make an all pro look like an average running back. I think I have a pretty good idea which is the case in Dallas.....

Yep, Zeke used to put up #'s because of volume and his OL, now that his OL isn't great he is one of the least efficient RBs in the league.

Hasn’t been since 2016. As people are starting to realize, he’s below average without a great O line. Great players create plays, he doesn’t. The stats and evidence have been there forever and the O line has been masking his deficiencies but his panty sniffers refused to believe it.

I think he’s still Top 5 but that speaks more to the lack of feature backs in the league.

If folks wanna prop up his intangibles (e.g. pass blocking, physicality, etc.) that’s fine, but purely as a runner he doesn’t bring as much as people would like to think.

I haven't seen blocking as an issue for Zeke's struggles.


We've been forced to throw the ball a ton because of how far we fall behind in games..

Passing gets you the lead and running closes games. We never have a lead.

He's lacked volume.

Zeke has the 6th most rush attempts in the league lmao.

6 carries away from 3rd, but yeah a volume issue lmao.

When a RB is a blight to his offense, his value dwindles accordingly.

Ezekiel Elliott has just evolved into a sad memory of his former past.

He is the star RB. I think he has got to be on a very short leash by now. If he fumbles one more time I would pull him. There has to be something wrong. He has never been a big fumbler. This year has been so weird. Was really looking forward to it. Now not so much. I would get Pollard more carries anyways and please get him off of kick returns.

No.... a top 5, even a top 10 running back doesn't fumble 5 times in 6 games. Maybe you could defend his turnovers if he was getting 150+ every game, but he's not...

Dallas is one of the few teams that doesn’t RBBC so he will always rank higher because of that.

6th for him is very low.

Dallas as a team Is around 18th in the league in attempts.

He may not be the best running back on the team anymore, much less top whatever in the league.

Your point is what then?

He's not lacking productipn due to lack of volume as I just pointed out.
