Funny how you never hear that anymore. Even the Zeke lovers dont bother saying it anymore as they would get laughed off the site. Just 6 weeks ago they were still making those claims daily.
Now it’s, “but we need Zeke, because he’s a better blocker.”……….lol….

if they’re willing to waste a tag on Dalton, hell yeah Tony is getting tagged.

It might be prudent to tag Pollard just so he cant talk to any other teams and they have more time to negotiate. But I cant imagine them actually paying him top 5 money. That would be insanity.

Just out of curiosity, do the stats show when he gets those long TDs? Are they mostly in the first half, or are they usually after the defense has been worn down? I love Pollard, but if I were signing the paychecks, I'd want to be sure he was solely responsible for his big plays before I gave him a huge raise.
Lol. ‘Solely responsible for the big plays’
So naive

He’s gets the job done, Backup or starting

Because Zeke fans are TEAM fans, they like both players and how well they work together.
As where most Pollard fans hate Zeke for some dumb reason.

Just be happy to be 9-3. Regardless of the player or the pay check.

Saw that TP has 5 touchdowns of 30 or more yards this season, most in franchise history with many games still to play.

Just a quick reminder that:
1) He is somehow not the feature back on this football team
2) Sometimes you should pay RBs (or franchise tag them). This is one of those times

How can you be in a rational football conversation and not know what a bus driver QB is?

And oddly you don't realize that most QB's are most successful out of play action passes off a good run game.

I wasn’t trying to bash Dak, but if you are going to insult me instead of just making your point then I will happily educate you.

Dak is a bus driver QB, and I’m ok with that. He’s a bus driver because He is ranked low in air yards per throw (dink and dunk for the layman) and look no further than last week where he threw for 170 yds in a 54 pt game. Last year when we had no run game, teams kept a light box and made him throw and it was awful. Also for bonus points, Dak for some reason doesn’t throw from under center. Not sure if it’s footwork or what, but he struggles with 7 or 5 step drops, and just never does it except when it’s play action.

In summary, unlike elite passing QBs/teams that don’t lean on the run game, Daks worst years/games have been when the running game is poor and teams dare him to throw. He is great in play action, but is limited when it has no effect. This makes him a bus driver, and that’s ok.
