Is Zeke going to join Emmitt, Dorsett and Perkins on Cowboys Mount RUSHmore?

Or will he be just a highly regarded nominee like Duane Thomas, Hershel Walker or DeMarco Murray?

If Zeke stays healthy and out of trouble he'll be along side Emmitt, Dorsett and Perkins.

Seriously though, right now I'd include Robert Newhouse before I'd put up Don Perkins. Or Preston Pearson.

Perkins gained almost 1500 more yards in his career than Newhouse did.

Newhouse finished in the top 10 in rushing 1 time and in the top 5 in rushing 0 times.
Perkins finished in the top 10 in rushing 8 times and in the top 5 in rushing 2 times.

Newhouse was never a pro-bowler or all-pro.
Perkins was a 6 time pro-bowler and a 1 time all-pro.

Perkins retired as the #5 rusher all-time.
Perkins is in the Ring of Honor.

Newhouse is one of my favorite Cowboys. Perkins was the better running back.

He's probably not old enough to remember
No real comparison and I loved Newhouse

Calvin Hill was offensive rookie of the year and All Pro his 1st season as a 1st Rd pick out of Yale in 1969 starting after Perkins retired.

Dorsett didn't start until his 10th game of the season and still gained over a 1,000 yards.

Zeke could break them all this year and I'm not sure yet he's our most talented RB in history. Hard for me to think he's more talented than TD, Emmitt and Herschel. We'll see. I'm excited .

Nope. Nope.

Keep guessing.

I'll give a hint if it's not guessed in the next couple of tries.

Honorable Mention: Marion Barber

He was fun to watch, but you knew he wasn't long for this league with his style of play.

Murray is a fav of mine

I was looking at some Barber highlights last week, and I had forgotten how good he was for 3 or 4 year stretch!


The Zeke train is too crowded for me to jump on, so I'll ride this Dak wagon!
