Davis is good but he needs an offseason in the weightroom and with the Cowboys training staff to put on another 10-15 pounds of muscle. As it stands he's too small to be the every down replacement for Zeke. Durability was his main issue in college and at his size it will continue in the pros if he doesn't muscle up a bit.
We don't need an Everydown replacement for Zeke. Lmao

We need to integrate 2 Rbs to use in a committee Along with Pollard. The next man up philosophy is TRASH!!

Pollard is a multi dimensional back that can run and catch the ball . He can run N, S, E and west and go all the way from anywhere. He can return k/o's and line up as a wr. There's not much he can't do.

Offensively he's on a higher Plateau than any other Player on this team inc CeeDee Lamb by a LONGSHOT!!!!

Sure he's not the best blocker and goal line back on the team but he's by far the best PLAYER ON THE TEAM

AND I THINK ITS MORE IMPORTANT TO HAVE THE BEST PLAYER ON THE FIELD MORE THAN 50% OF THE SNAPS

And that's not an ARGUMENT I'm ever gonna back down from!!! Sorry

I would start integrating Davis right now. Because he's got the speed and mechanics to run and catch etc

All Zeke can do is run north and south. He can't even hit the corner cause he's stuck in 2nd gear.

And his ceiling is too low for Playoff Football as a main cog because of his speed.

He's nothing but a Progress Stopper and he's holding better players w higher ceilings back imo.

It's time to pass the torch over to THE PROBOWL RB

If Pollard is a multi dimensional Zeke is Thor because he is better lots better

If Zeke wants to be a Cowboy for life and makes the right concessions than why not, but the concessions have to be substantial.
It's a financial sacrifice that most will never make.

Not me. I don't care if Zeke makes $5 or $50 million

Id like to see us move on so we can get some players in here w a higher ceiling that can compete at the Playoff Level and scheme around them.

Zeke is just a slow rb with alot of miles and a progress stopper imo.

It's not about the money it's all about the talent.

Little Tony isn't getting all those rz goal line tds.

And he still has 2 more tds than Zeke. Lmao

When your #2 RB gets voted into the Pro Bowl and he's only playing 45-50% of the snaps then your coaching staff is a bunch of idiots.

That's like giving Barry Sanders 1/2 of the snaps.

Only in DC Nation

Zeke is faster than Pollard and catches and blocks better Zeke is the total package at RB

Yeah he's got 75 yards total on 35 carries in the last 2 playoff games and we got turned one dimensional in blowout Losses to SF and the Rams

We got Zeke mixed up w Emmitt and we expect to win using that old outdated 90's regime run scheme

If Zeke is so great why didn't he get voted into the Pro Bowl ???

I'm not arguing that Pollard should be getting 30-35 carries a game and should be treated like a workhorse back

But he's still the best offensive player on this team by a longshot. And he needs more snaps to disguise the play calls

And we need a faster Rb w some top end speed to join the Committee in some dual rbs formations similar to how NO uses kamara

I guarantee ya one thing. You take Pollard off this team and we'd be lucky to finish w a 5-12 record

I'd like to see more snaps for Pollard and see more integration using Davis

But we'll never see that in this next man up philosophy based offense

When Zeke leads us into one dimensionality on that Grass in Tampa with his 35 yards rushing most of y'all will jump off his Bandwagon!!!

We just barely ran the ball at home on turf and only Scored 3 points against their defense

turns out we didn’t need that money this year…could’ve kept him another year and had a good wr corps instead of a terrible one save Ceedee. I would argue our WR corps cost us two games so far this year with more to come.
I love hearing some other arguments floating around here about we didn’t need Amari because we didn’t win a championship with him but same people want to dish out big contracts to Ceedee and Diggs…whom we also haven’t won anything with.
Sure average to even good RBs are a dime a dozen but Pollard isn’t that, he’s the tyreke Hill of RBs. He’s one of only two players on offense we have that scare anyone. Zeke is the easy one to replace. Pollard is not. If we ditch Pollard as easily as we did Amari it will be one of the dumbest decisions in modern Cowboy history.
Nonsense

we did use that money, you aren't a carpologist nor own or run a pro team, they got rid of his as business decision MOIVEED ON 4months ago. DO THE SAME

OK internet GM, total fail still debating a 10-4 start a very succeed rs so far and yet cant let chit go?? dude seek help..

right the same way we did with Cooper Ced, cwill, collins, turner, Jarwin, Zurliene, and others

right

so AC big man helped us past the 9ers and rams correct lmao, sure wish we had that 22mil back to help us lose in the 1st round again as you stated...i hope he hleps the browns inthe payoffs, OOPS 6-8 and somehow, we win with cooper rush so DO NOT try and use the BU qb in CLE excuse.

..wow you sure missed that by a mile.. 30mil cleared off offense and we still are one of the top scoring teams in the Legue with dak..got that ..if our D shows up and our OL holds up , we have plenty of weapons dude..

Sorry but an 8 point loss and a 6 point loss are not "blowout losses." They are one score games. Those teams dedicated resources to stopping the run and dared our passing attack to beat them. Looks like they guessed right.

You chastised people for wanting him gone but the reason why people want him gone is for something you admit……. His cap hit just doesn’t work.

You are making it seem like most want him gone because they think he sucks or don’t like him. But in reality the majority of those willing to move on are because of his cap hit relative to the back he now is.

You can’t restructure him. It just kicks his high cap hits into future years when he likely will be less effective. He has to take a pay cut.


Your unwillingness to acknowledge those who openly hate Zeke and can't wait to run him out of town is not my problem. You don't see it then it must be because you don't want to. C'est le vive.

Well we didn’t get better by ditching Coop
Or are you saying we did? Silliness.
Our wr corps is crap man, hence desperately singing TY and courting Odell. Even the FO knows it and they are usually the last to admit…
We’ll see if it’s enough, I think it’s not. Squeezing one more year out of Amari would’ve been really useful and I’m sad that you will probably see that also soon. We were the highest scoring offense last year too…and then post season happened.

first off, he was nearly our 3rd target in yards and tds last season, Lamb and Schultz were larger part of the offense many games , AC was good most games but not great many and 22mil we had better things to do with it YES , we do NOT MISS HIM..
we didn't get worse however you want to attempt to make your point =FAIL 10-4 most likely go nto be 12-5 again so yes if we can win on offense with Tyron and Dak down a lot of games , we obviously didn't get worse..

add in a MUCH tougher division which means a tougher schedule. fighting through much more adversity and still got to 10-4 with 3 to go and already in the payoffs which BTW first time B2B playoff appearance's and double digit wins...

our team is better than last year regardless of losing all those players.. its how teams manage the cap and still maintain. You shed 30mil worth of offense contracts. and still are on the same track.

so go wave your orange and white AC pom poms you arent selling me that nonsenses. sure hes a good players maybe at 14-16mil he could have fit but this team utilized that money and il trust my eyes, his 22mil made him expendable..

Elliiot runs 7 carries for 20 yards. But Pollard makes all the dynamic plays for yards on the scoring drive and gets them to the 1 yard line

And they let Zeke run it in urgh

Seems like you really take it personally the fact that we are worse without Amari. Wow, you might need to talk to someone.
The team is better bc the d is better, and the offense still works DESPITE losing Amari because we got Pollard more involved. But we are one less threat than we needed to be.

what's gonna happen when we fail to score 2-3 tds running the ball in each playoff game???

Field goals are gonna happen

Our defense isn't that darn good.

They should have kept Cooper and got rid of Gallop and Schultz. It's the same savings.

And they should have made Pollard the main weapon 1-3 years ago and we would have won something
