Totally agree. Zeke has some fantastic years left. My point is that he’s not going to last as long as Dak. Not even close.

It's difficult to know that. Dak takes some pretty good shots when he's running with the ball. All it takes is one.

It is very difficult to know that. I’m just going with the odds.

Fair enough.

I wonder what the figures are on running quarterbacks as far as average number of years? Not that Dak is a pure running QB. Wilson is probably comparable and he's gone seven so far. Quarterbacks who run as much as Vick and RGIII don't seem to hold up as long, at least not at a high level of play, although Vick has some extenuating circumstances.

Harris was good. A Hall of Famer. But he was no where Zeke’s quality at least in the 1st 3 years. Zeke carries per game avg is much higher than Harris’s. Get it?

Emmitt's average much higher than Zeke's. Get it?

They are all important signs but they have different timeframes before signing is a must. Dak and Cooper must be signed sooner than Zeke, It will all get done when it needs to be done and not before.

Based on what? I don't believe they will all get signed. If we end up giving Dak 30+, all other contracts will escalate in the same fashion, IMO, and we will end up seeing a contract demand from Zeke that far exceeds his value. I don't see it but if that's what you think, that's fine too.

So we disagree. Be good with it and get use to it.

I can see that it would be a better us of your time. Certainly would be a better use of mine. Thanks for playing.
That's okay since you admit you are already better using your time there I'll stick with CZ. But thanks for the tip. No one said you're not a gentleman.

FO is in a tough spot. If I had to rank I’d go Zeke Cooper and Dak

I think Pollard with his speed and running behind this stacked OL will be a weapon. Weber may have something too, think he runs around a 4.4. Behind Dak, we have bigger questions. Unless White shows upi in camp, Dak #1, Cooper #2, Zeke #3.

Zeke is not just any guy. The people who continue to suggest he is, and that paying him will be a mistake, are wrong.

He refused to run on the corners of that Rams d, my big gripe on him. He didn't adjust his game when he was needed most. He disappeared in that 2nd half (yes, his touches were low though).

Considering what the team is doing, it looks like ur out of touch with the teams thoughts. Elliot is a head case. Hes too involved with being famous. On the field hes great. Off the field hes a guy you dont want on ur team becauze you just never know

It’s possible I’m out of touch. I just know what a talent Zeke is. He’s done several questionable things like you said. I think all three are equally important. Whatever they decide to do it will be equally the right thing and wrong thing to do.

No doubt hes a great talent. But Elliot just seems to have the wrong kind of attention from the league. And shows nothing in terms of knowing how to lay low.
