If Zeke has truly turned into a mature responsible football player its been 6 months, not 5 years. We HAVE needed that type of leadership for 5 years and not gotten it from Zeke. I would love to see a mature, professional take his craft seriously, but lets just hope its not too late.

Diamond bracelet for his birthday from Prescott. He’ll always be a child. I just hope he learns how to hold onto the football. My fumbles than any other running back since he’s been in the league

I was more than thrilled about how Zekes approach to the off season was a spotlight the last couple of months. I was even more happy than that today when I listened to his entire presser. He owned it and I think we are looking at a new man. He was confident and in control of his words. He took responsibility for the teams faults last year and highlighted how unacceptable the fumbles were. I highly recommend you go listen to the entire 10-12 mins and hear for yourself. Zeke was an immature kid when the Cowboys drafted him. What a difference 5 years have made. The way he spoke today made me excited to watch him this year. We need this type of leadership.

...scrutiny makes for haste on anyone. Zeke knows it looked bad for him last year. Good on him to take charge and control so far and letting it rip. >>>> GO Dallas >>>>

Zeke is more mature because he's been running around trash cans?

Unlike most here who cheer for Dak failing over the cowboys winning.

No one here is saying that. Stop making stuff up. We could say that his homers like his stats more than winning. See how that works?

No he doesn’t. He has a lot left.

It was the same with Romo. He had to grow up too. When he was younger he claimed that if the worse thing that happened to you was that you lost a game then you have a pretty good life. That was pretty nonchalant, to say the least. In professional sports winning is everything.

I think what changed Romo was the 2010 season when he first got hurt for most of a season.

He discovered, or you might say he woke up to the fact, that his career was finite. It was going to end and that end was getting closer. He understood that there was going to be a window after which there would be an end to football forever.

I believe Zeke came to that realization as well. His future is now.

That would be false for 500$

See how you said we and I didn’t even tag you. Dak could throw for 400 4 tds and win Super Bowl mvp And people like you would give everyone but him credit

I know, right? *** is wrong with a sub-25 year old not being a leader?

Wrong again. I'm not impressed with stats. I'm on record several times saying I would be happy with 200-250 yards a game if they were winning games and knocking on that door to the super bowl. As it stands now the Dak homers only have padded stats and mediocre W/L records when trying to sell Dak's worth.

Because of this outrageous contract he just signed, he damn well better win a super bowl and win MVP. And he better throw for 600 and 6.

sooo he better do something never done in NFL history? This is why outside fans say cowboys fans are the worst.

As fair as anyone can get, given the player.
I too hope for this guy to get it together and really be that force he was again while also lifting his life to another level.

I truly wish the best for both him and our team.

I think his last off-the-field incident was over two years ago - at the Las Vegas EDC in May 2019. (Some might refer to the group photo after the workout organized by Dak and attending Prescott's house party during the height of the pandemic, along with Elliott's holdout for a new contract.)

Aw looky...everyone got their life together...made the very most of it. SO CUTE!

Good to hear and I am hopeful
But I really need to see on field results

What "bs" are you talking about?

Covid?
Injury"
No QB?
3rd string and STREET Offensive Linemen?
silly OC who doesn't know how to run a running game?

That kind of "bs"?

I hope you're right jazz, I hope you're right. I also hope it's true that he's actually growing up.
