Terrell Davis was the last Running Back to lead the league in rushing, in which that team went on to win the Super Bowl in the same season.

What a tough situation Jerry and the front office is in right now.

Wish they would have drafted David Montgomery in Round 2 instead of Hill right now.

I actually think Dallas has enough cap space to make a mistake like this since they've done a great job managing the cap over the last 3 to 4 years.

You had it right up until this sentence. Dumb sentence.

Truth is, Cowboys should have drafted Ramsey in 2016, traded to get Murray back, won the championship in 2016, and found another running back along the way to be the lead horse.

I wonder how all the stuffy posters here would react to Ramsey showing up in a Brinks truck and declaring over and over "No discount!"?

At this point I'd say just trade Zeke. I would have a different opinion a year ago, but for all the problems he's caused off the field in his short NFL career I'm shocked at how much brass he has. He comes off as a bit entitled.

Before you disagree with that, check is long list of off the field issues before doing so.

So, I trust we have a passing champ on the Cowboys team?

For once I agree with Jerry which makes me question my own sanity. Instead of using his statement to support what I’ve always said, I’m now doing some deep soul searching and wondering how this happened. I’m scared.

In other news, as has been said, it doesn’t matter what Jerrah says, he’ll cave. Zeke will get his money and Jerrah better hope he doesn’t end up hurt like Gurley or gets suspended. If Zeke acted like he had while being investigated for DV and after being suspended, I shudder to think of how he may act after he’s the highest paid back.

Would pay him. CB is a premium five position, RB isn't.

Wrong. Jerry and the front office are not in a tough situation. The only ones who are in a tough situation are the hardcore Zeke supporters who are siding with the player over the team. Jerry is making it clear that we can reach the Super Bowl without Zeke. I agree with him.

Don't get too caught up in his words.......he said you don't need a rushing CHAMPION to win a Super Bowl and he's right. Doesn't mean elite three-down RB aren't valuable. Think about it, you don't your Tony Dorssett, Earl Campbell, Eric Dickerson, Marshall Faulks didn't impact their teams' success. Don't get me wrong, I agree there's a better way Zeke can handle this but to take Jerry's statement and say suddenly an elite RB can't impact a teams' success is a bit misguided IMO.
