In the minority, but....
Ezekiel Elliott
Dude is doing what we'd expect from rookie 5th round running back at this point. Don't give me the "offense was set up for him to fail today" thing, we gave him lots of opportunities in the first 3 games in different situations and he did at best the bare minimum and at worst 1.9 yards per carry average. Since Minnesota last year, he's averaging 78 yards per game rushing.
Plus his contract is hampering us down. His position is also minimal and can be easily replaced. For those reasons, we can just get an Aaron Jones or a Chris Carson and they're doing more paid way less - lots of team are winning without some expensive running back. I'm not living in 2016 anymore. He's not gonna get any better, and I'd give him the rest of the year and if he doesn't come back.... bye bye.
