Since 2016 Superbowl playing teams have had only 1 RB contract at 1.4% of the cap.

It's not the money.
Now tell me what % teams have paid for QB3, which has never been typed before.

This isn't about this season. They've been showing you that all off season. This is a throw away year and prepping for 2025. Lame duck coaching staff and QB that unless a miracle happens and they go to a SB, will all be gone next year.
I don't see why people aren't see by the way they did free agency and how they drafted that 2024 isn't a throw away season. The draft was clearly for 2025.

So you seem to believe getting blown up 2-3 yards behind of the line of scrimmage is a RB problem???
It is when the RB is dancing around like Le'Veon Bell. Zeke started doing the same crap Bell was doing waiting for the Red Sea
to part.

Meaning their is not a hole to run through, which is a OLine problem.

Don't need a red sea but you don't want a body there on the handoff either.

Anyone that blames only zeke for lethargic run game...is...well...never mind.

If he is spot duty it's a good signing. If he is the lead back then they are just stupid.

This move baffles me to no end. I loved Zeke back during his first few seasons but the time has passed him by. He’s acceptable at best and I think signing him actually makes us a worse team. This gives us no advantage and he doesn’t have any upside. He wasn’t that good for us two years ago and now he’s even older and slower.

This was an abysmal move. Guarantee you Dak tossed an idea for management to sign his former friend or something.
Zeke is a solid hire. Veteran who gave his all for the team and still can excel in short yardage. Cowboys struggled in short, medium and long yardage and fixes the short yardage issues. He’s not going to be a lead back.

We won't have a lead back. It will be finally be a committee.

He’s going to be a role player, short yardage and goal line plus some blocking situations - what part of that do you guys not get? They are still going to bring in a rb1
I agree. Zeke may not be as good a RB as he once was, but he's a very good blocker and will have an impact in the run game. He may be nothing more than a stop gap at this point but he will contribute to the offense.

I like Zeke, as long as he's not expected to be the lead back he use to be. With the proper people around him, he can still be very effective.

Bringing Zeke back does not make the Cowboys a worse team.

However, the way in which they will end up misusing him will definitely make the Cowboys a worse team.
They can't over use him. 150-175 carries.
