Twitter: Jerry addresses RB situation

[baltcowboy]

Half of the board would have broke their television sets if we traded up for Brooks. The problem with running game was the offensive line last season. I think you will see a difference.

One drink too many or a decade too many as GM?

Yes

 

[Fontaine]

It's a smoke screen.

Just like they said Bass and Hoffman were starters and then went out and drafted both their replacements in the first 3 rounds.

The fact people don’t see this is hilarious.

Do you want him to come out and say, “yeah we’re taking a RB next so any other teams, feel free to jump us if you need one to”

Like honestly people.

Most of any of the RBs will be gone by the time we pick again at 174 or something. Almost 90 picks. Running back will be wiped clean.
****** Jerry.

If only they had addressed it last draft. It's a disaster at this point. RB #1 will be second in touches only to the QB, and also be important in pass protection. A key position once again neglected by JJ & co..

Is Dallas really planning to start Zeke or some 5th round reject at this position? I'm not in favor of using a first rounder at this position, but the team can't basically ignore it either.

No actually I want him to just stop talking period.

 

[Risen Star]

He averaged 3.5 yards a carry last year.

And this is the stupidity that we are dealing with

Yeah good luck with that haha

 

[CowboysRule]

I truly believe that there are posters right here on this forum that could make better personal decisions than Jerry and Sons. Just mind boggling.

Seriously? Have you read the things people say on this board? Lol

There won’t be any RB’s left worth taking when the next pick arrives. Zeke really is in their plans

With Zeke? Rico Dowdle? Our big FA signing Royce Freeman? Deuce?
We will probably draft a RB in round 5. But I’m not holding my breath.

Signing Zeke guarantees they intend on tanking this year, and all these picks are for building for the future.

I mean. The chances of finding a good RB is getting slim at this point of the draft.

 

[HungryLion]

3.5 yards x 3 carries = first down.

In your face

Maybe we’ll run the wishbone with Jerry at QB. He’s already told us he was a great option QB.

The crazy thing is, I really think Jerry thinks they’re SB bound. He is a glass completely full at all times guy. And detached from football reality.

RBs are one of the easiest to find in every round of the draft including undrafted guys. Sure late round guys aren't a given like the top backs.

With a good OL, you can find a RB.

I think teams should draft one and after their 3-5 years is up, draft another one

 

[Old'Boyfan]

2024 is clearly a throwaway season.

And that's not necessarily a bad thing.

 

[john van brocklin]

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.

Be afraid, very afraid.
We can't rise above our GM.

Not all of course, but a select few yes,
