Zeke is a bell cow, no matter what the haters say.

Hey Mods...is it possible to give Hawkeye more likes for this post? Asking for a friend...

About time for the Barkley fans.

Would’ve had 3 rushing titles in his first 3 seasons if it wasn’t for Roger Goodell handing out the worst suspension in nfl history. No proof that Zeke touched his ex-gf and 4 of her friends flat out said she was lying. A change in offensive scheme last year turned this team into a pass first team and Zeke still finished 5th in rushing yards. The other thing people never really mention about him - he’s the best blocking HB in football and he’s a beast of a receiver out of the backfield. He’s worth every penny that they are paying him. Also, his cap hit this year is only 10.9m

9 points in NFC East Championship game. 3 field goals.

Yet the receiver for the Chiefs got nothing.

Probably should cut all 11 starters, no?

Yup. Good enough for Dak, good enough for the other 10, no?

Exactly... and people think Goodell and the nfl don’t flat out hate the Cowboys (even though they’re a ratings cash cow). Worst thing that ever happened for our fans was Jerry winning that off-field merchandise lawsuit against the league way back when, yellow flags control this league and there have been some questionable suspensions.

Another feather in my cap for defending the Zeke pick in the draft,
As if I needed it.

Not sure I agree he is a beast of a receiver out of the backfield, or that he is worth his contract. Zeke is very good, but backs do not last long in the NFL. My problem with him last year was that he kept taking himself out of the game when we were driving down the field resulting in nada or a field goal.

No one, not one of the people that talk against his contract ever acknowledge how the structure of the deal is so much in our favor. Especially with what looks like healthy back with longevity

I talk about it as much as possible but no one listens lol, it’s all good. Yea the structure is really good.

I was a fan of the Zeke pick. I wasn't a fan of his immaturity keeping him in the headlines. I wasn't a fan of the hold out...and I wasn't a fan of the hold out when Emmitt did it, either.

But. his story is still being written. And that says something because it's still being written when so many others' stories have already ended. If he stays out of trouble and remains on the field for the Cowboys, at this level, for a few more years, you'd have a hard time not agreeing that the pick was well spent. A RB remaining in the top 4 or 5 backs for 7 or 8 years is incredible.

Dan Rogers also has an interesting tweet out there of a stat on Zeke. I do not do twitter so can't post it.

But this is a cut and paste from the tweet.

Death, taxes, and Ezekiel Elliott rushing for over 1,350 yards.
In his 4-year career, Zeke has eclipsed that mark 3 times already. That is more than Le'Veon Bell, Todd Gurley, Melvin Gordon, David Johnson, Christian McCaffrey, Saquon Barkley, and Alvin Kamara have COMBINED!

Interesting......

Can you post his other tweet I referred to above?

 

[CowboyRoy]

Interesting......

Now put up the that same thing for games missed from suspension.

Then put up TD numbers.

Now imagine what Zeke would do behind the line of some team like the Cardinals or Chargers and how many records those other RB's would break behind the Cowboys Oline.

He has one of the best lines in football and gets 350 carries a year. Half the RB's in the NFL would lead the league in rushing if they had those two things.

You mean he would have won 3 rushing titles, which no one respects anymore, if he hadn't got suspended and single handily ruined our season.

I can’t believe anyone could disagree. Dude is just built for the position. I truly believe he is going to make it through his contract and one more small one.
