Bob Sturm on Zeke

[MarionBarberThe4th]

Why he's still on the roster at this point is beyond ridiculous, nevermind resigning him during the last offseason, when Dallas cut him because he was a declining player two years ago......

They’ve really bungled the rb position for years and years now. Just guessing

He’s still here because he provides insurance. Cook may be more washed up than him or he would be playing. They certainly aren’t going to go with Deuce if Dowdle gets injured.

It wouldn't shock me if he retired at the end of the season.

Zeke offers nothing other than occupying a roster spot

 

[noshame]

Somewhere out there, there is another Tolbert, and another Pollard just sitting.
They should be here.
Zeke should be changing the oil in the deep fryer.

 

[America's Cowboy]

Poor Zeke as he faced defenses that didn't fear our passing game and zoned in on him 100% of the time.
Body can take so much punishment and yes he was sacrificed to carry the inept and dumb.

Yeah, a passing game that averaged amongst the highest at 265 ypg passing with only 1 legit threat at WR but absolutely not rushing threat.

SMH. Shut it, Paps. You're simply wrong here.

 

[Dools29]

If we bring him back next year we can get 8 yards per game.

 

[thunderpimp91]

Nobody was saying that.

100% you had a few regulars on here saying that and he was just used wrong. I'm not posting any links as I dont think this is appropriate for a 'gotcha' moment nor do I have any negative feelings toward those posters, but I have no issue having some fun with takes that didnt age well.

You sound like a casual fan. He offers a breather to Dowdle, he can block and he’s insurance.

Doesn't matter if he retires or not. He is done and no one will offer him a contract.

Zeke hasn't been good for years.

His issues are his own.

He stinks.

He's barely useful.

It was a horrendously stupid signing.

He’s washed but we can’t give Dowdle every single carry. He needs a breather for a play here and there. It wasn’t a stupid signing at the time we had nothing at RB after doing nothing in free agency. You’re living in the moment.

He's done, we could pick up any FA rb and get the sane results Zeke gives us

It was an absolutely moronic signing and plenty of us said so at the time.

Nor should they go with Mighty Mouse.

Anyone off the street would also be done. What’s the difference?

 

[KJJ]

They obviously don’t think much of him. He’s the biggest waste of a roster spot we have.

There were like 20 other RB's that would've been better "insurance" than Zeke. Joe Mixon was CHEAP. He could've probably done more than Dowdell also. The FO just has nepotism for "their guys" and the nostalgia clouds their judgement. Zeke was done 3-4 years ago.
