Is the best back in the nfl?
Anyone out there still thinks it was smart to pay him 15 million?
He's one of the best, for sure.
Teams are still doing what teams have done for years to try to slow us down.
Committing vast resources to slowing down/shutting down Zeke and taking their chances that Dak won't beat them.
And as recently as the New York Jets game, that was still a winning proposition.
Credit where due, Dak and Moore seem to have found a groove with play calling and scheming and in the last 3-4 games, that approach hasn't paid off well.
Now that teams realize they can't just shut down Zeke and therefore stop the Cowboys, I'd expect that Zeke's numbers will start to trend positively again.
I've been critical of Dak and I think it's been largely deserved over the past few years.
I'll also call it straight and say over the past month he's clearly gotten more comfortable and efficient in his role, and that's a good thing for the team.
it will open up opportunities for Zeke and the rest of the offense as well. Also a good thing.
the one caveat--if people focus on the past 4-5 games and say "Dak's the man, pay him his $30 mil", then how much will Dak be the man when a lot of his talent is gone because we couldn't afford to pay him AND them.
this is where I hope sanity prevails and we can keep our team intact at a reasonable price for everyone because right now they seem to be humming.
at least offensively anyways.
