Anemic Zeke will continue to handicap our offense as long as he keeps getting more touches than Pollard.

12-31 in the playoffs vs SF. A complete non-factor. Useless. Dak was our leading rusher that day.

Hey, anyone else remember when the anti-Dakkers assured us that Dak’s success was “all because of Zeke”?
:laugh::laugh::laugh:


NFL players, coaches and execs have spoken.

Dak: top-10 QB.

Zeke: NOT a top-20 RB.

They dissed him after 2020 as well. He still sucked in 2021.

Not everyone who disses actually knows what they're talking about, though.

I fully expect Pollard to get more carries.

Consequently, I think that'll actually help Zeke's production.

Curious to see how Breece Hall does his rookie
The Jets don't have a great line, but it is now serviceable

I hope you’re right, but I doubt it.

We’re seemingly the only team in the league that still thinks Zeke’s our best RB.

Anything to justify that contract, even if it hurts us on the field. Sheer stupidity.

The sooner we can dump that contract, the better. I don't care if he has a bounce back year, eating that much cap space for a TB is moronic. But hey, what do you expect out of Jerry and Stephen?

I dont think its the coaching staff that thinks that.

Jerry likes his money on the field. Doc says Zeke can play. He will play.

It's a shame what happened, all he did was push someone, people act like he beat the hell out of that woman.
There wasnt even proof against Zeke. Look how that turned out.

Yet Watson. Got a nice signing bonus.

Zeke has the potential to be a future Hall of famer, because he's a work horse and he's durable. How many guys on your list can you say have that same potential? Contract aside, the only back on that list that I'd take over Zeke right now is Taylor. Most on your list aren't getting the carries needed to be a future hall of famer, because their teams don't trust them to hold up. And that's where Zeke separates himself.
He's averaged fewer yards per game every year he's played. No burst or elusiveness anymore. He's a short-yardage fullback who's just about done.

Won't sniff the Hall of Fame.

I don't like his contract and I actually hope he's gone after this season because of that. And he can take Tank's contract and Shultz's contract with him. I hope all three of those guys are seeing their last days in Dallas.

ESPN polled NFL coaches, players and execs for these rankings.

Don’t blame ESPN for the opinions of NFL personnel.
It's the timing that's suspect to me. Kind of like the Diggs ranking, even though he got a ton of Pro Bowl votes from essentially the same people. Plus, who exactly voted?

He averaged 58 yards a game, rarely broke a tackle, lost his burst, and was replaced by Pollard at key moments.

He's not top 10.

He did play hurt, which I respect, so we'll see if it improves this year.

He probably won't be a Cowboy next year no matter what they're saying.

I want a local reporter to ask him about this and see what his reaction is.
