Bob Sturm on Zeke

[AtomicDog]

Dude was a monster in fantasy football for 4 years

 

[Big_D]

He was a terrible decision in the draft and not a single run over 50 yards the past 8 years.. Nothing but a huge waste of time and cap space.

 

[PAPPYDOG]

Hey Bob no one cares what the heck you have to say bud!!
Did you go pick up your check from Todd France????

 

[Praxit]

Is there any chance Zeke gets his rookie burst back next year?

...he's got trash cans to do his bidding. . .

 

[Captain43Crash]

We still believe Zeke is a top back. - Will McClay

Fire McClay!!!!!!!!

 

[Captain43Crash]

Hey Bob no one cares what the heck you have to say bud!!
Did you go pick up your check from Todd France????

He is right on Zek.

 

[KJJ]

Misused. Not a waste.

And how do you come to the conclusion they "obviously" don't think much of him? Almost 2 seasons now and not one single play designed for him yet. I really hope he goes to a OC who can figure out how to use him.

They hardly ever use him. It’s simple to come to the conclusion they don’t think much of him, he only has 11 carries. He’s on pace for fewer carries than last season. You’re right he is being misused as an NFL RB.

 

[PAPPYDOG]

He is right on Zek.

And you are correct on McClay.................

 

[Vinnie2u]

Surely there must be a RB on someone’s PS that we could have poached. Instead of signing Zeke

 

[KJJ]

And how do you come to the conclusion they "obviously" don't think much of him?

Few opportunities and this will be the 7th game this season he’s been inactive. It’s clear they don’t think much of him and he won’t be here next season. A total waste of a roster spot.

 

[big dog cowboy]

You’re right he is being misused as an NFL RB.

I'm so disappointed in McCarthy.

Hopefully the Cowboys cut him next summer.

 

[KJJ]

Hopefully the Cowboys cut him next summer.

They will. Dowdle is the only back we have that has a chance of returning.

Zeke 2024 cap hit: 2.0 mil +6.0 dead
Henry 2024 cap hit: 5.1 mil

But hey, the memories made along the way was worth it.

Dude your math is off do you not have to have the hate but use a calculator it doesn't take that much to realize he's only counting 2,000,000 no matter who would be here no matter what other players on here that $6 million dead cat money was gonna be here whether zeke was playing somewhere else or retired that money's here that's not on zeke that is not zeke that money would then also be here if Henry was here so that have been $11.1 million in your estimation with your math paying Henry who by the way you think was gonna have that kind of year playing behind this offensive line with this offensive coordinator in this situation we had this year you really thought that that was gonna happen you realize saquon barkley's really really good but you realize that line he's playing for right now is an elite level group they're rated the highest in the past and the run blocking this year in the NFL they they have more games with the highest ratings that wasn't gonna happen here said Paul Barkley was not gonna have a career here and he for sure wasn't gonna break emmett's or DeMarco Murray's or I think you're Elliot 1600 yard year you know that he has one of those right?

The problem here is yes zeke fell off a Cliff he's not very good anymore but he's not getting the ball 20 * a game y'all act like somehow you didn't watch what they did for Puerto Rico they iced Rico rico's every bit as good as about 16 other bats on 16 other teams that's the truth his yards per carry every time they handed the ball more than 20 times the game has been very good he's better or at least as good as Tony Rico right now should be the guy we're talking about that poor guy could've had four 100 yard games this year but because of our offensive line and because of our offensive coordinator that didn't happen so somehow you think we should have wasted all that money on Henry or Barkley like they were gonna do what they're doing where they're at now here now you're delusional everybody in here is delusional..

Even Tony Pollard right now absolutely not worth the money he's being paid over there I I think he's had like 3 or 4 games under 50 yards this year yeah he's had a couple good games he's not starting back he stole money here so Rico feel bad for Rico but that that $2,000,000 is all Ezekiel elliott's responsible for this year on the cap that dead money there's a lot of dead cat money I mean we're paying Romo for like 4-5 years after he left and dead cat money there are other players that are eating up this cat that are no longer playing as well so stop hating on zeke that dead money was gonna be there anyway so the more money we'd have paid any other free agents you could just add that $6 million to any of their contracts if you want to be a true hater and you wanna blame them..

Never say it again and somebody else mentioned it I think two people did it's not like a secret Elliot was starting every game and getting the ball 20 * a game and looking this bad you can put those stupid stats up all you want but the thing people don't realize is of course you're not gonna have that many yards per game and it's gonna fall every year if you're carry's fall off..

So to everyone reading this 'cause I'm not doing this four times y'all's math is busted up and the way you look at this is all zeke no zeke's not getting the ball maybe if he got the ball 1520 * a game he would get into a rhythm and maybe he would be better because I know damn well Rico is better when he's getting the ball more but he's not you guys are delusional those students would have been a total waste of money what we should have done is brought in a young running back from the draft to go with Rico someone with some juice that's where the mistake was made yes zeke should never have been brought back because they weren't gonna use them .... players now hunter etcetera etcetera..


So anybody who keeps bringing up Henry and Barkley and Jones none of them would have had the same success here they would have been an utter waste of money and the whole don't pay a running back a second contract somehow you guys backtracked and are hypocrites no we should have drafted a running back we will draft another running back if not 2 strap coming up you can book that and we'll be fine next year...

 

[Wildcat711]

Just read the last sentence in case he had summed up.. ^^^

apparently we will be fine next year.. and the year after that.. and the year after that.. ad infinitum............ well I for one feel much better.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

How? Zeke had two good seasons after 2017. Zeke robbed himself by not taking care of his body the way he should have

They played around with him just like the league played around with Watson…never the same.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Dowdle is the only back we have that has a chance of returning.

I would agree. Add a decent vet and draft a RB on day 2.

 

[vlad]

Imagine Saquon, Henry, Cmac, behind those earli

He stinks.

He's barely useful.

It was a horrendously stupid signing.

It was a completely stupid signing.

I've never seen so much delusional love for a player

That signing would have gotten any accountable GM fired.

 

[vlad]

That signing would have gotten any accountable GM fired.

There are ppl still defending the signing…It’s mind boggling.

 

[Creeper]

Zeke looks like he is just going through the motions now. I do wonder how he would look if he got 15 carries but I also feel it would be a mistake to give him 15 carries.
