Dude, I have known you too long to know you have the ability to see through BS better than this. You were able to weed through the BS with Romo and Dez. For the life of me I can’t understand why you have blinders on with Zeke.
Pollard has consistently been more efficient than Zeke has been, even yesterday. This is supported by both the eye ball test and also with objective data. It is clear to most everyone Pollard was the more effective player. The only question is why and injury can’t be the reason because even though Pollard is playing through injury, it’s still clear he is more effective.
Because you're not understanding my points. Obviously. If I don't agree that Elliott only starts because of his salary and name, you can't discuss anything else. I'm not willing to except an unfounded answer. Yours or other's "eyeball test" is the last thing I'm leaning on. Pollard had a nice return and then we didn't see him. So the entire franchise decided, naw, Pollard should run anymore because of Elliott. There's more we don't know, that's all I'm saying.
I took heavy fire from the Elliott fan club (which you seem to think I'm a part of, even though I've been consistent in saying we need both, but whatever, goes ignored.) when I suggested the knee brace wasn't for just a bruise. And I wonder, why would you play Pollard if he also has a tear? They should have signed RBs to cycle in.
To be fair and honest, I have a hard time discussing what fans think is reasonable with regard to a players name or salary. Otherwise, Jaylon Smith wouldn't have been cut after getting a lucrative contract extension.
I'll repeat the same views I had years ago: I wouldn't have drafted any RB in the 1st round, let alone 4th overall.
I would have used the 5th year option and traded or let him get re-signed somewhere else and the same goes for any player that isn't a QB or lineman.
