Twitter: 2016 Draft Derek Henry & Zeke

[gimmesix]

While Jaylon was rehabbing in 2016 Ramsey had an all rookie year. In 2017 while Jaylon was stinking up the joint Ramsey was an all pro. In 2018 when Jaylon didn't make the pro bowl Ramsey was an all pro.

You'd give up Jaylon 10 of 10 times for Ramsey.

We've done a pretty good job at getting corners without having to draft Ramsey. Meanwhile, we've also got our two primary linebackers for years to come. So no, I'm happy with what we've got.

I'm convinced.

Get Dak fitted for his gold jacket and start making his bust NOW!!

 

[gimmesix]

I wanted Ramsey and Jack, which while Jack isnt as good as Jaylon, those two are better than all the duos mentioned.

We had Morris and McFadden at RB with those two defensive playmakers on our 2016 squad? Oh boy.

I would have been surprised if we drafted Ramsey since we had just drafted a defensive back in the first round the previous year.

Put the clay on the wheel and heat up the kiln baby!

Is 500 carries too small a sample size?

Yes, it is. He needs to look at the totality of their careers. 'Last 500 carries' is skimming off the top.

However, I would have loved Henry running behind this OL and having Jalen Ramsey IF Jalen's attitude was better. He's still not matured. He still says dumb junk, publicly.

I believe Jalen's character issues is the real reason why they chose Zeke.

Fast forward to 2019. Zeke is a pro bowler and so is Byron Jones.

I'd rather have Zeke/Jones rather than Jalen/Henry. Zeke > Henry and Jalen > Byron. So it's a wash in my opinion.

Zeke was the right choice.

Absolutely!!! Nothing past the last 500 counts. Numbers don’t lie!!! SMDH

We still had the 8th best run blocking and Zeke lapped the field in carries. Half of the starting RBs would lead the league in rushing under those circumstances

I doubt that. Jmo

 

[cern]

Perfect example!!! Dak is already the G.O.A.T.!!!!! There’s no dispute about it. The comparison of their last 500 plays proves it unequivocally.

Sarcasm?

I like assumptions too!

Imagine using character issues in a defense of Zeke.

 

[cern]

Last year 19 different running backs saw more carries against stacked boxes than Zeke did.

Zeke led the league in rushing. I see totalities. Not meaningless stats.

 

[Texas_Pete]

Imagine using character issues in a defense of Zeke.

So you believe his suspension was justified? If so that explains a lot.

And you would rather Jalen/Henry. I disagree. There is literally nothing Henry does better than Zeke. And Jalen is not that much better than Byron.

The chemistry in the Cowboys locker room is pristine. Jalen's me-first attitude would have screwed it up. I stand by that theory. Every Cowboys player loves Zeke. Can you say the same about Jalen in Jacksonville? I doubt it.

 

[keysersoze]

Sarcasm?

Most definitely!!!! I’m just sayin. If they’re can cherry pick 500 carries to say Henry is the better back then the same holds true for Dak’s 500 plays vs Brady’s 500. Right?

LOL can’t believe this thread is still alive.

OP, why do you care SOOO MUCH about Zeke?

You’ve made countless posts about him. All of which are negative.

Seriously dude, what’s up?

Crybabies gotta cry

 

[quickccc]

let's see what zeke does in red zone and goal line with a far better OC ...vs the previous one that had this irresistable urge to pass all three downs at the 4 yd line.

Cool. Stats don’t show consistency though. He was trash first half of last year

He's the CPA version of @aria

 

[risco]

Henry was unstoppable inside the 5-yd line last year, Zeke was terrible. That's the difference.

Yeah- but for Zeke- his carries were over a year and a half- Henry carries were over three years... a year can make a difference.
