Twitter: Jerry addresses RB situation

[khiladi]

For the season, Elliott's 3.5 yards per carry was tied for the worst in the NFL. He also ranked 32nd in missed tackles forced, 29th in yards after contact per attempt and 34th in explosive runs (carries of 10 or more yards), per PFF. Those are backup numbers every day of the week, including Sunday.

I'll never forget that quote. Of course the game has changed since then and the importance of the RB position has been greatly diminished, but the Cowboys are going to extremes now.

If this was being said by some sad behind the times fantasy football player we would all laugh and shake our heads. This is being said by an NFL General Manager. With a straight face.

Zeke last year - 3.5 ypc


The message has been sent to Dak - ask for a trade or you'll be playing out your contract year trying to carry an offense with much less talent than last year.

I actually expect this to happen.

I do too.

Honestly.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

I'm telling you Jerry Jones thinks Zeke Elliott can still deliver as a number one running back. Especially now with the offensive lineman acquisition.

Vigotes, if I were the O coordinator and Jerald signed Sequel, I would resign.

If you are talking about his blocking and receiving ability, then JJ is correct. If you are talking about his running ability, no!

This FO is an absolute joke.

Our fanbase is handcuffed by the morons running the show similar to what Raider fans experienced under Al Davis.

Not drafting a RB is absolutely inexcusable and then thinking Zeke is a starting caliber back is beyond stupid.

What a buffoon.

Hell Jerry, let's sign Johnny Football as our 2nd QB too.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Agreed, but it's funny - how many posters here were saying good running backs were "a dime a dozen" just last year? Now all of a sudden, it's "we needed to draft a rb! We needed to draft a rb".

They say it every year but we never seem to find them.

Old age depletes mental capacity

It's time for him to go to a home.

Maybe this should be changed to Jerry ignores the RB situation.

6 wins this year tops.

At least 11 wins

I did not tune in to the Leafs this year in the playoffs. There is no need. Their "star" have already show me time and time again what they are. I have not missed a Cowboys game for as long as I can remember. I don't think I will be tuning in this year. I find sports interesting when a team is working and fighting to be the best they can be. I am not tuning in to watch that fat moron flop around for 3.5 YPC.

A Pretend NFL GM I'd say...

Zeke's last 100+yd game: October 10, 2021

Zeke has had FOUR (4) 100+yd games in 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 COMBINED

 

[MetalMike]

I think Jerry has had one too many. Someone needs to cut him off.

'Last call!' means nothing when you own the bar.

Not sure why that is relevant for a RB by committee approach.

And everybody is wondering how the Eagles are looking like world beaters after this draft???????? It's because the Eagles are being ran by excellent football minds vs the Cowboy's Three Stooges. I really doubt that these idiots listened to anything that our scouts had to say.................
