What are you talking about?

We're talking about Tony Pollard. Read it again please.
Oh nah, as I said Pollard has low tread and if used as he's been he'll be effective for a few more seasons barring injury. I don't bash Zeke, I definitely won't bash Pollard.

Can we all agree that Pollard is just better than Zeke now? I'm not saying bench him but Pollard should get the bulk of the carries. And Davis wasn't bad either today.

This being said. Is Zeke back next season?

This has been the case for a few seasons.

You can;t answer all year unless you play all year. Otherwise it;s just something you make up in your head.

Love me some pollard....but he's gonna face tougher defenses than these Bears. Let's cheer him on and let the results dictate the facts, not your imagination.
Another Zeke Boy salty Pollard didn’t fail.

Hope not.
Pollard or no Pollard, Zeke is *way* overpriced, and even not overpriced, he has been keeping Pollard off the field. Zeke has been past his prime for years now.

I want Zeke gone. I'd like to keep Pollard, but he won't be good value. Time to draft a young guy, or two, and cash Tony out for comp picks. Zeke, we have to cut. Nobody is taking that contract.

I voted that he would get 60-85 yards and I was dead wrong. Bears is not good against the run. So I'm going to wait. But NO DOUBT, Pollard played his a** off! It also helped that Dak was pretty much on point too. For the sake of our team I'm happy about the RB controversy.

He’s not. The way zeke looked against Philly. If he had the have to himself without pollard, he gets 130. It happens. Guys have big games. Let pollard sit against Philly abd see what zeke does.

Explosive plays win games. Why was Zeke so good in 2016? Explosive plays...

Pollard can explode.. Zeke leaves potential big plays on the field with nearly every touch.

YOu still miss the point. Weird...but okay.

You said to "sign Pollard". ...extend him?

How? with a contract? More money.

Now he has to perform to the contract. People hate that.

Pollard won’t get 15 million a year. He’ll get about 7 or 8.

Those who favor Zeke over Pollard at this point are either ignorant or related to Zeke. The only thing Zeke does better than Pollard is block. Some seem to thing that matters to the extent Zeke is better. That is shortsighted to say the least.

I got it. Yes extend him. He won't cost Zeke money, but if he hits FA it will get out of hand possibly. Yes more money for Pollard, I believe in paying good players.

You will still hate him when he doesn;t give you your 8 million worth. "Someone can do the same job cheaper."

That’s right. I’m a Cowboys fan and if a player hurts my team with his pay then I want him gone.

I'm going to cheer tony on...but he's gonna have to perform like this against tougher opponents or people that like to hate...will hate him too just as quick.

Zeke has show he can take and give punishment all game all season...year after year. Tony just does not have that rack record.

Yet.

How easy they turn.


You really shouldn't be a fan of the Dallas Cowboys then. The players don't write checks to themselves. So you hate the player for no reason then try to convince others to be just as angry and miserable as you.

Weird.

If you watch all the games and think Zeke is the better runner right now you’re lying to yourself and are delusional…

IMO it’s not even that close…Pollard is so much more explosive and gives you big plays that Zeke can no longer do. I love Zeke and think he can be a complimentary back for short yardage work but there is ZERO reason for him to get more snaps than TP.
