We know the answer to this, but being a slow time before the draft. The question from a fan was still asked.
There is some interesting info though from their answers.

We know it will be Pollard, but it was mentioned, can Jones give him a challenge.
Davis had some combine numbers right there with Zeke and Tony.

Or will it be a drafted RB?

I like what I've seen from Davis in his limited role. I don't think the Cowboys should or want to run Pollard 30 times a game

 

[Mr_437]

The 1.55 split is good for being a RB. Davis is in a battle and he'll be ready if he comes out with a roster spot

Considering Pollard went down and Davis was not used in a do or die game at all should tell you everything you need to know.

Maybe he just wasn't ready yet? Running the ball is one thing. Picking up blocking assignments is totally different and takes time with many backs

I mean. Thats fair. But not one carry in an entire half of football? To feature Zeke?

Come on now.

I understand your concerns. And, when it came to blocking, no other RB on the team could fill in for Zeke. Here's hoping for great improvements from Davis. Go Cowboys

no. Davis is not the answer. he doesn't come through the Dallas doors, drink the kool aid and some how become special. he is not special. he is a 3rd stringer. needs to remain a 3rd stringer. and I liek Davis. I just don't see all the love he gets from some people. more like wishing him to be something he is not.

Or it could be we over loaded Zeke because of history,
Davis couldn’t have done worse but since it was one game the blocking was probably a huge factor

 

[Cowboysheelsreds058]

Like him but draft another back.

 

[big dog cowboy]

Can he be the answer? No.

Can he be a part of the answer? Yes.

Big difference.

 

[nalam]

In one of the Dallas fan sites, it was mentioned Davis ,Calloway and Ball are going to be cut after draft. ( likelihood because of the contract and what we will find in the draft )

could be true.

 

[JayFord]

in the time hes played hes looked ok ...but usually hes playing when we have a lead and the game has been decided

 

[nightrain]

Huge coaching blunder. The universe already knew the Cowboys had no shot throwing their way past the 49ers.

 

[The Quest for Six]

Can Dak be the answer? No.

Can he be a part of the answer? Yes.

Big difference.

Fify...lol

 

[Rayman70]

Davis will shine with a greater role.

 

[Rayman70]

the element of change and surprise at rb can work to our advantage.

I look forward to seeing what he can become but I want him to have to work his way up. In other words, we've got Pollard on a franchise tag, draft a back and let him, Davis and Jones compete for the No. 2 and No. 3 spots. To just rely on him and Jones, especially with Pollard coming off injury, would be negligent.

 

[75boyz]

Showed strong against pre season competition. A good and versatile spot action change of pace back. Complimentary piece.

*Looked over matched against 49er dee as did the starting running backs.

 

[charron]

How could we know. Most of these coaches just go with what they are used to because it's safe. Zeke wasn't going to have a mental breakdown out there and we have no clue what Davis can do. And i'll never understand why these coaches do not have a plan on how to use every single player that dresses on game day. They should have had at least a hand full of plays for Davis based on what he does well and be willing to use them.
