Zeke is ok if he can quit fumbling.
He's not even okay.
He's a below-average starter. You thinking his contract isn't an abomination is head scratching at best.

Zeke was good.. He was really good.
RBs fall off quick though.
I think he’s still got Something but it was stupid to pay him.. Like I said at the time.
Also 40 TD's in 1st 4 years.2nd most.Helped the team.Another All Pro retired at an early age.He knew he wasn't the same player and probably never would be again.2016 Zeke leads the league in rushing.Cowboys win NFC East.Also tie Franchise best record 13-3.2018 Zeke leads the league in rushing.Cowboys win NFC east.Seems like he's helping the team.Has most rushing attempts because he's helping the team.They wouldn't give him so many carries if he wasn't efficient.3 all pro's.IThink at least 1 of them was voted on what he did early in his career before he started getting injured.Also about the a running back being as good as his line.No running back is successful without a line that gives him a chance to get started.I should know a little bit about this being a former college running back.
Are you dissing zeke or blowing your own horn???Has there ever been a player that tricked 90%+ of the forum into thinking he's good, when in fact he was not? Normally when we get a shiny new free agent like Poe or HHCD, then they'll be 10x better according to the forum than they actually are, but Zeke is an endentured player that y'all just continued to ignore his lack of effectiveness.
I mean this offseason the list of positions he held according to y'all included:
Best all around RB in the league
Best player on the team
Top 5 RB in the league
Completely asinine

Between the 20's there was none better.Romo.
"If this team wants him out they WILL eat that contract" so Zeke best change and change fast. Right now he's a loser and a liability and I don't see it changing.
You also get less of a discount on the rookie deal relative to other positions.The other problem is his draft position, there are reasons that you dont draft RBs in the top 5.
1. RBs can be found later in the draft that are just as good if not better, see Derick Henery in 2nd.
2. RBs have the shortest career of any position in football due to the massive hits they take, usually only 3-4 prime years.
3. RBs are extremely dependent on their offensive line, if your line is trash your RB is usually hurt (Barkley) or ineffective(Zeke)
You should be banned for posting the exact same BS that is patently false.stats prescott, can't beat a good team and goes in panic mode with any pressure. panama should have told you what type of guy he was, always falling down when pressured.
Wo wo....now we're using logic? Hahaha. Good work Bullet.Zeke is currently 8th in the league in rushing while being the highest paid. A closer examination shows several telling insights:
- Of the top 10 rushers so far this year, Zeke only has 1 carry of 20+. Compared for example to Nick Chubb (who has missed two games) with 10 carries of 20+, or Derrick Henry with 8 carries of 20+.
- Only 3 of the top 10 rushers this year have been given a big second contract. 7 of the top 10 are still playing on rookie deals.
- Of the top 10 rushers, the average age is 23.8.
Well the pick should have been ramsey. I said that when the draft happened. If i was drafting it would have been ramsey and myles jack first 2 picks.The other problem is his draft position, there are reasons that you dont draft RBs in the top 5.

5.1 yards per carry (rookie season) while handling that kind of workload is not only good, it's outstanding.If perfect fit means running the ball the most times, then sure.
The rushing titles seemed to be what fooled people the most into thinking he was good. That's a very good example as to why bulk stats aren't very helpful at all.
