Ok this is a fantasy question, Going forward to 2017 if you could only keep one of these players,
and your the GM and Owner, which one would you keep ??
Which one will help your team be a winner (or keep winning) the most?

I think people will be split on this, but to me it is harder to find a franchise QB than it is
a good RB, so I would keep Dak and try to find another RB.

I know EE is good, but Take away Dak and no way this team would be where it is at this year.

For example, if we had got McCown or some other vet qb and had EE, I think at best we would be 10-6.

I think aside from the stats, td's etc, Dak has given this team a winning attitude and mentality,
that has led to the whole team playing better and be more of a "team" .
I think it has even affected the defense.
He is the team leader, and he leads by example, not just on the field, but off the field, in the way he works
hard and has lofty goals.
He hasnt got much credit for this, and he should.

Elliot on the other hand is just a very good RB good at blocking and running, and can catch the ball too.

They do compliment each other nicely, and are a good combo.

I wanted to do a poll but didnt see a option for that.

It's a no brainier it would be Dak because he's the QB and will have a much longer career than Zeke.

Zeke is the MVP this year, but gotta keep Dak.

I have to disagree the Cowboys can't win without outstanding QB play. Despite a 1000 yard back last season it only led to 4 wins because of our QB situation. It all starts with the QB which is why more QBs have been named league MVP and SB MVP than any other position.

If you take Zeke out and give Dak McFadden how many games does this team win?
If you take Dak out and give Zeke Romo how many games does this team win?

I am still amazed how so many fans around here still don't get the importance of a running back to our team.

10 posts until someone had to bring up Romo. Impressive.

Anyway, to your scenario: How about Sanchez/Zeke or Dak/Morris? Who do you think wins more games?

Romo is not in the question.
He is a unknown factor so I left him out, plus he would have only played later in the season.

Ok..which child would you want to die first? Which arm would you amputate first, left or right? :facepalm: Answer is Dak but this team is winning because Dak/Zeke form such a dynamic duo of skill, energy, enthusiasm...even innocence. They both feed off each other so well.

Fantasy Football wise it is definitely beyond the shadow of a doubt Zeke. In real life it would be Dak

I'll keep Dak going forward to 2017. Its only 1 day after all. We'll get Zeke back tomorrow. :)

Wonder what Zeke will do with his free day off? Cabo?

How about Sanchez/Zeke or Dak/Morris? Who do you think wins more games?........... I think Dak and morris win more.
Sanchez would likely have more turnovers and ints. not as many long drives.

10 posts until someone had to bring up Romo.........LOL yeah I left Romo out on purpose, but people with reinstall him !
The real Question would be,do you keep Romo as is, or keep Elliot. and no Dak in the equation.
Like we didnt draft Dak, then it would be Romo or Elliot.
That would be hard as you need Romo more, but he is old and EE is young and very good, so very hard to say on that.

That is another good fantasy question, what if we didnt draft Dak?
Tony would still be the top dog, and trying to come back, to save season, probably too soon again.

so the question is who is rookie of the year this year? While I'd love to see a co-rookie of the year award this year for Dak and Zeke... I think it's Dak for sure.
