Love the Zeke pick, tap the brakes!

[Bleu Star]

Man.. Tap what?

1200 yards in year 1. Easy.
I see at least 1500 and an OROY when it's all said & done this year. Easy...

tap the breaks? I say pedal to the metal....if you are gonna spend the #4 overall pick on the RB position, then giddyup, we are gonna ride you...

...can you imagine whenever he has his first start if he goes off? If he has 150+ and 2 or 3 TDs? the expectations for him would be off the charts.....those that wanted him in the draft will say "see? I told you!".....get your popcorn ready....

For real man. I think 800 yards and 8 tds with another 250 and 1 receiving would be awesome.

I hear you, but what a disaster if that is it.
5-6 other rookie RBs could get that for us..imo

fwiw, unless he gets hurt, I think he'll get way more that.
But maybe DMC or Morris just look great in camp and end up getting a ton of touches.
Looking forward to it.

The kid looks real good, but all these articles on how he is gonna set the league on fire?Win rookie of the year? Let's just see how he does in a game first, or better yet, a full team practice. Tap the breaks folks.

I only clicked on this thread because "brakes" was actually spelled correctly.

Imagine my disappointment.

Wow. I react to a couple of articles about our new running back, and I'm a piss poor fan who can't spell. Thanks.

I think the problem is that no one understands what nfl rookie rbs do. 1200 yards would be absolutely incredible even behind this line. I think he can attain that if hes healthy and conditioned for 16+ games, but if he drops off in december everyone should be ready for it and people will need to lay off him.

Why? Todd Gurley did exactly what everyone said he would do. Zeke absolutely has the potential to go for 1500 his rookie year, who knows if he will but it's not ridiculous to think he could.

You're catching on. Jk

For my fellow cowboy brethren.

 

[muck4doo]

Break the taps!

 

[AsthmaField]

Dude is a monster. Elliott doesn't shy away from the high expectations... Why should we?



Note: might want to turn the volume down... language in the music. One of the best EE videos though. Worth turning the sound off.

So what if we don't tap the breaks? Will he flop or succumb to the pressure?

From reading these threads have pumped up every draft pick the team has made. Most of these picks was not well known to the casual fan, but now they are future HOFs. If history repeats itself, may be one or two of these draft picks will ever contribute to the team. Please don't let reality get in the way of telling yourself that Dak is the next Russell Wilson and Rico will be another Gates.

Tap the breaks? The kid was the number 4 pick. And he enters into the easiest position in all of football to get production out of a college kid.

If he isn't "setting the world on fire" from day 1....behind this line....given his likely limited shelf life....what a terrible waste he would have proven to be.

Any other position but RB needs time.all an RB needs is a handoff. I expect 1400 yards, or more. As you said, 4th pick

I just blame my spelling on spell check. Lol
Dang iPhone can't spell

 

[Bowdown27]

If he doesn't break 1,200 yds min I'm gonna be disappointed...

I'm with you. he seems to be already our starter. Alfred morris is the backup mcfadden 3rd string. Rod smith moved to fullback

Are ;you kidding me he is already better than Emmitt Smiff and Tony Dossett combined? How is this not obvious to you?

 

[CF74]

Tap what?

Pics?

 

[Hardline]

Zeke will have 6 or more runs over 60 yards this season.

Who is taking the over and whos taking the under?
