You're finally coming around about how being Romo happy was a failure.Because 44 passes got the job done plenty .... Oh. Wait.

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

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

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!
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.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.
….you joking right?....or you didn't see the beatdown yesterday.I bet Lincoln Riley would use Zeke. Lincoln Riley is the bestest ever!
….you joking right?....or you didn't see the beatdown yesterday.
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?
….My bad....you scared me on that one.....Got it.Sarcasm. Pure sarcasm. I am very vocal here about my dislike of Riley.

You do realise that every single team starts and finishes their game prep against us with Zeke???? The dude IS our offence.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.
Not my point. He's not a HOF back and never will be was all I was saying.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?
