Kellen Moore: Pollard is a complete back

[rambo2]

Why would it suck to see him go? What has he dont for this team?

He has scored a lot of touchdowns.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

You just wait until Zeke has 14 carries for 37 yards this Sunday.

He's gonna show all of you.

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Are their any of those left ?
They credibility would be on pretty thin ice at this point.

Oh yes.

I won a bet against one of em that was sure Zeke would easily have 1,000 rushing yards this season.

 

[MyFairLady]

Fans get sentimental and its hard to keep objectivity.
I think this factor has hurt Jerry as GM as he gets too attached to players.

It is probably the single biggest weakness of the entire organization. The careers of players like Tyrone Crawford can only be explained through this.

 

[ConstantReboot]

..TP style of play works complimentary how Dallas O operates.

Throw in the dudes around him, camaraderie, coaches. That also has instilled what he is today.

I think TP gets inked in next year. Zeke will also take a pay cut, to stay.

I'm not in favor of Zeke staying. There are better backs in the draft that can do his job better. We are better off without him.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

I wouldn’t mind Zeke coming back but it would strictly in a reduced role and at 1/5th the annual salary he’s making now.

 

[ConstantReboot]

Never like the draft pick, never liked the extension and never like the player. He had a good first few years, but he was also running behind one of the best line in football. As soon as that went, so did Zeke. Way overpaid and overrated in my opinion.

Hate to break it to you, but he is no longer a fan favorite. Im a pollard guy. The original Pollard guy.

Pollard was even a better back in his rookie year than Zeke. Wish that they should have left Zeke out to dry when he asked for that monster contract. Let him hold out for an entire year if he wanted to.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

I’ll have to rewatch the game to get the exact time stamp, but they ran Zeke off left tackle on a sweep. There were blockers ahead of him and a clear lane that should have been for at minimum an 8-10 yard gain. Instead, he had to try and cut it back because he could see the linebacker was going to beat him to the spot. He gained 2-3 yards.

Folks complain about our o-line, which is valid in some instances. However, the reality is holes/running lanes open and close quickly in the NFL. Zeke has proven he cannot get to the second level any longer.

Just five (5) career runs of 40+ yards on 1,881 carries.

That is absurd.

 

[CATCH17]

Shssssssssh.

Don’t tell the Zeke Boyz.

They’re still clinging to this myth to justify Zeke’s existence.

Fullbacks are usually better at blocking.

It’s was obvious Pollard was the better player about 2.5 years ago but Zeke’s contract just wouldn’t get him off the field.

 

[Robbieac]

It’s was obvious Pollard was the better player about 2.5 years ago but Zeke’s contract just wouldn’t get him off the field.

Zeke's contract still won't get him off the field.

It's absurd that Zeke still "starts". That's a slap in the face to Pollard.

I don't care if Pollard ultimately gets more touches in the game. The best player should be able to "start" the game.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

You and risen are like nagging wives that are never happy. We're in the divisional round and yall crying about cutting Zeke lmao.

They gotta keep up the charade and make sure there's still a fight.

There are ZERO non-Tony Pollard fans. FACT.

I think this is good for Tony. We're not abusing him, then setting him up as toast in just a couple years and then beech and moan about he ain;t living up to his contract and washed up.

He now his decent longevity and health in the real prime of his career.

 

[john van brocklin]

Yeah I don't see how they could keep Zeke over Pollard based on what we've seen this year.

With this Front Office with Jerry getting emotionally attached to certain players, anything unfortunitly is possible.

 

[Doomsday77]

Revelation!! If KM says it then it must be true. And on the same play if Dak hits him in stride it was a TD...

 

[Robbieac]

They gotta keep up the charade and make sure there's still a fight.

There are ZERO non-Tony Pollard fans. FACT.

But there are still Zeke over Pollard fans.
FACT.

Maybe they are embarrassed because they have a Zeke signed bobble-head, and they can’t admit it's next to worthless now? I dunno.

But many fans are still Zeke over team.

There's the real issue. As if you were a hurt 'bama fan.

You "never liked the player"....ever. Not even 2016. Not only made his career but Dak's too.

Nonsense.

Who?

 

[ConstantReboot]

It’s was obvious Pollard was the better player about 2.5 years ago but Zeke’s contract just wouldn’t get him off the field.

Once Zeke got his contract he got comfortable and got out of shape. Than things started to go downhill from there.

Yep, its one of the reasons we need a professional GM.
