Because 44 passes got the job done plenty .... Oh. Wait.

You're finally coming around about how being Romo happy was a failure.

So you're saying we should run Zeke more? You're kinda making the OP's point, you know?

Emmitt would have never taken himself out on a 3rd and 1. Emmitt also would have converted on a 4th and 1 in the playoffs vs the Rams. Etc, etc, etc... but continue with the excuses.

I can just imagine

Zeke has 8 carries for 65 yards and we proceed to throw it since running is working too well

So to answer my question you avoided, you're saying we should have run Zeke more, thus supporting the OP, right?

As was said in another thread, Zeke played 97% of the offensive snaps that day. Best among RBs in the league that week. But because Joe Buck and Troy told the weak-minded how to think and feel, that's the narrative people run with instead because it feeds the perma-whining people love. Zeke got hurt the play before but now it's hindsight whining because POLLARD couldn't get a yard and POLLARD fumbled. POLLARD didn't give us a chance at a 4th Down conversion. But of course you want to pile on Zeke so you can cover for being a Dak backer while he doesn't get it done after being a Romo hater who claimed Romo couldn't get it done (oh, the irony, lol). Zeke was only given 13 chances in the Philly game. Dak had 44. The game was on whose shoulders a whole lot more? And who didn't deliver? But Zeke is a bigger target because he got paid, lol. That "poor advice" he got from his agent is now expert advice. His only cost was bitter, salty, miserable fans. I'd take that deal too, lol.

Playing running back is THE most physically-demanding job in football. Emmitt said that one game is like going through 15 car wrecks in one day. No one in the NFL has touched the ball more in the last four years than Ezekiel Elliott. He is gaining yards at a Hall-of-Fame pace (which literally only 1-2 guys in history have ever bettered), and has never missed a game to injury.

When you look at the massive amount of game-time missed by the likes of Todd Gurley, Leonard Fournette, Saquon Barkley, Dalvin Cook, Devonte Freeman —or really, just about every other professional running back, on fantastically fewer touches— to b!tch about Zeke taking himself out of a game every now & then (perhaps for fatigue, or perhaps to deal with an injury he inevitably comes back on the field to play through) is a demonstration that many (most?) football fans don’t have a dynamic understanding of the game or the magnitude of Zeke’s accomplishments from an historical perspective.

This dude is rare, and for more than productivity alone. They say the best ability is availability. When you combine that with All-Pro talent, you get a Hall-of-Famer...

they dont see that Zekes a 3 down player that Blocks, goes out for passes and right now is top 3 this season in carries and since 2016 hes #1..

somehow coming out every now and then for a breather is despicable , id say only because Pollard comes right in and fumbles..

all year I see this Zone call for more pollard, pollard better ion the edge and for chunk plays has better burst.. So Zeke coming out and not being a ball hog like allegedly witten has been, gives Pollard a few extra snaps..only issue is Pollard more often then not did not make those plays and it made Zeke coming out look much worse..

the fact is zeke still tops in carries, still top 4 in rushing even though we hardly ran him in the 2nd halves getting down by two many scores and some games where we got pass happy..

Zeke was not the issue this season and him coming out for few plays here and there should b=not ne an issue given all teams rotate 2-3 backs in and out far more often then we do, the issue are the backups in Olalalwle and Pollard more times then not, didnt keep the offense moving in Zekes quick break..that fumble was a killer last week on pollard, we just got down there in scoring range and he coughs it up..

No, you and the OP are praising an extremely overpaid, takes plays off/effort lacking drama queen while bashing the one player who sucks it up everytime and plays every play whether through injuries or not while getting paid pennies compared to the previous one.

You really should be on some probation for starting threads. It's not even about a legit discussion. It's a troll attempt to get people riled up.

So as I said, Zeke is the bigger target because he got paid. Green-eyed fan envy on full display. LOL. And who cares what Dak is getting paid if he's not getting it done? If he were delivering, I wouldn't care if he got $40M a year. But since you care so much about what players are paid, we can save a bunch by tagging Dak and letting him walk or just letting him walk next season until we get someone else in to see what they can do.

GL today as Zeke is very close to the following!
Where would we be without him since 2016!
Kudos Zeke once again and keep on eating baby!

7-8 and hoping for a miracle to back into the playoffs?

You supported the way overpaid Hollywood drama queen Choker, and you're doing the same with Zeke. Some people simply don't get it. Congrats.

I bet Lincoln Riley would use Zeke. Lincoln Riley is the bestest ever!

Sarcasm. Pure sarcasm. I am very vocal here about my dislike of Riley.

PAPPYDOG said:

Who mentioned Dak?
Dang, you got the bug man and it shows!

P.S. Just a reminder Zeke plays for the Cowboys supposedly the team you are a fan of....I guess?

Just like lovers, some of them always have Dakota in the forefront of their minds. Always looking for disrespect and an excuse to get triggered

He had 18 carries for 122 yards today.

I got $5 bucks right here that says Zeke doesn't sniff the HOF. He's a good RB, he's not a generational talent.

As the injuries to Smith, T-Fred and Zach continue to linger, their performance will start to deteriorate. And so will Zeke's numbers, which are already not among the league's best *now*, much less across a career.

You do realise that every single team starts and finishes their game prep against us with Zeke???? The dude IS our offence.

Name a meaningful game when zeke struggled and we did well regardless?

Not my point. He's not a HOF back and never will be was all I was saying.

HOF backs get schemed against and still produce against quality competition. If we've learning anything from this year he didn't do that.

Certainly better coaching will help next year, but he's not going to put up the numbers for Canton IMO. I don't think he has the drive for it, and the way he runs now is going to limit his longevity too. That's all I was pointing out.
