2019 vs 2016 night and day. I know he missed training camp but this aint the same guy who ran over Chancellor the first chance he got in a preseason game. If we can somehow get that Zeke back and this defense can get past our coaching we can get the VL Trophy.

That’s a lot of ifs... would be nice.

so I guess everybody would be happy if he rushed for 200 yards in a loss, and praised how well his personal stats were over the team winning?

I think that given what he's shown as far as been a runner, any RB could have done it. That being said, his blocking is excellent.

When any team stacks 7-9 guys in the box to stop the run game , it instantly opens up a big game for the QB and WR’s. When the other teams say you’re not going to use 21 to beat us, it instantly opens up he game for Dak. There aren’t many RB’s in the NFL that teams will base their entire game plan completely on. Without Zeke back there, Dak is not doing what he is doing. Add the blitz pick ups, the pass game, and the hard 2-3 yard gains, Zeke is doing his job great. Is he busting off 30 yard runs, no, but he’s making sure Dak can hit those plays.

Actually, he has a point........I mean how many would be calling him selfish if he was complaining and questioning playcalling after a W. He's already admitted he's not playing up to standards and that's good but we need you to get your a... in gear and get with the program (lol).

He’s underperforming all the way to the bank. Horrible deal.

& Garrett doesn't make him feel awkward ?

His back is probably broke from carrying dak, hopefully it will heal before the season is over.

Yeah, who's carrying who now? Who's gonna carry this team when Elliot's retired or playing for another team in a couple years? Who's bout to get paid three times what Elliot just got?

Dak Prescott that's who, there's nothing wrong with a young QB relying on his run game and offensive line while he develops his skillset. It is undisputed that this is Dak's team whether any of us like it or not.
It's absolutely insane what you guys expect from young QBs. What I think about is how many times I've seen on here about how Goff/Wentz/etc/etc are such better QBs than Prescott but I think it's pretty clear who the better QB is out of the 2016 draft class. Thank god Dak had Zeke around to "carry him" so he could actually develop. Dak's so much more important to this teams future though it's not even funny.
They're on the same team though...they're supposed to win games together. Who cares how its done as long as it gets done?

Also I could say that must be what's wrong with all our O-lines backs...carrying Zeke the past 3 years....what's Zeke doing now without insanely huge holes to run through? Oh that's right...jack ****.

once the offensive line declines and is in the same league as the "other" quarterback, we will see who's the better quarterback.
you can only be carried so far.

Lucky for Dak we keep drafting linemen high then huh?

Man it really must be upsetting to know you were so incredibly wrong about a QB, what do you do though? Double down on being dumb. Stuff happens man, let it go and if you actually like this team root for them regardless. I want them to win, I don't care how.

STILL can't even acknowledge the kids pretty good can you? AND he's still getting better.

yep lets see us keeping good linemen when he "gets paid". I don't hate him, I support him

I"m on here supporting him against haters like you everyday.

Again, he's been closer to scrub than he has be a superstar. ANY RB could do what he's shown this year....ergo he's closer to a scrub.

Man with all due respect you are so wrong or you simply just don’t know
How is a scrub ranked 8 or better out of 100+ running backs in the league at rushing yards , avg rush yards per game, rushing touchdowns etc ? Again I agree he is over paid but he is closer to superstar by far as opposed to closer to scrub ..
:huh:

Batman1980 · Nov 21, 2019

Zeke hasn't impressed me much this year aside from that long catch.

He's okay with not performing as long as there is a W (that he had little to nothing to do with). A true competitor hungry for a championship would be like "Yeah, we got a win, but I need to improve. I need to strive to get better."

In all honesty if he said that some would complain somehow still

The problem is, they're not always stacking the box when he gets stopped. It showed in the loss to the Vikings. They weren't stacked when Zeke couldn't even break 1 tackle in the backfield. Zeke is doing a great job picking up the blitz and blocking, but he's struggling with other things...things the team needs him to do for what he's being paid.

I did mean he's a scrub in regards to what he's being paid versus his performance. Perhaps that's some of the confusion. He's still not breaking tackles well and hasn't been up to speed (for him.) He's even acknowledged that.

I would have no problem with him saying that. He acknowledged recently that he hasn't being doing as well as he should. That's appreciated that he recognizes that. I'm not sure what he could be doing differently in his preparation to improve, but he's obviously missing something.

We've seen how elite he can be. He needs to get that back. He has the ability.

The whole organization should feel awkward. Fans were hoping for a top 10 team but they're not even top 15.

do some of you even think before you post something stupid like this? The cowboys currently have a playoff spot. Which makes them one of the 12 best teams in the league. Jesus Christ

I don't get the need for people to assume someone's a fan of another team just because they don't have blinders on about one player on the team. I've been a fan of the Cowboys since around 1980. How old are you? Thought so.

Old enough to have written analytical football pieces for 2 seperate websites, because of my ability to understand football a be non partial. I am critical of Cowboys when they deserve it and to the extent they deserve it. Having on blinders would be saying Zeke is the best back in the league, I am not saying that. However, he's closer to a top tier back then he is anything that resembles a scrub. Purchase all 22 and watch him on every snap, with and without the ball and tell me again how scrub like he is.

I'll admit I was wrong to question your fandom. I wouldn't want the same said of me, so for that I apologize.

Zero credibility regarding this player .........

Based on his off the field history you’re absolutely right. Glad he he isn’t disgusted with himself and doesn’t think he needs to improve as long as we win, why strive for excellence when you can still collect a fat paycheck and let others do it for you? True competitor right there.

Lol!!!! Feed Zeke!!!

I think Zeke has been feeding himself way too much but unfortunately it’s been off the field. As far as feeding himself with bis dumb little gesture on the field, he’s anorexic, although he has no problems feeding on the worst defenses in the league.
