Please, Put Down The Fool-Aid on Pollard

If you have any thoughts that Pollard will be able to replace Zeke.

Zeke who?

 

[JayFord]

Zeke is proven

Pollard looks nice but the kid has alll of 9 carries

 

[CT Dal Fan]

You're right. But if the Cowboys can get 850-1100 yards out of Pollard as the lead back in a committee approach then the season won't be a lost cause.

I like Pollard more than I liked guys like Joseph Randle, Darren McFadden, and Christine Michael.

You don't know if Pollard can replace Zeke or not. We will find out in just a couple weeks though.

 

[Big_D]

You're not replacing Zeke, but you will replace his paycheck. Production vs cap hit.

If you had to bet everything you had on an outcome of whether or not Pollard could replace Zeke, would you tend to look one way over the other?

 

[CATCH17]

Didn't we have a 3rd round RB that produced at an elite level in this scheme?

We don't need Zeke. He is a luxury.

It is not about replacing Zeke. Zeke is an all world talent. You don't replace that. But that doesn't mean that we can't win without Zeke. Zeke would make it easier but is that worth the cost.

Let's say:

Zeke averages 140 yards a game
Without Zeke, they aver 124 yards a game.. what is that 16 yards worth?

I think the Cowboys are a much better team with Zeke because he is an elite talent. I also think the Cowboys can win without him, but I wouldn't go so far as to call him a luxury.

I'm sure the Saints could still function and win some games without Alvin Kamara, but my guess is they'd much rather have him (just throwing Kamara out there as an example).

We have to pay Zeke or trade him. That's what it boils down to.

If a team comes offering some picks that include a 1st then trade him and be done with it.

If not? Keep him.

Agree.
Ask Charles Hayley about Derrick lassic

There selling Crazy here and we all know who the usual suspects are!
Why.....lol.......here's a hint has nothing to do with Pollard who I pity as if he's not the next Kamara poor kid will be eaten alive here!

Zeke who?

The Zekeazoids are running skrrrrd.

I think the Cowboys will first need to evolve into a different offensive identity. Hard to do when you are dependent on one of the best players in the league, who, by the way, was pretty good at covering up your warts.

Pollard can certainly be a productive and valuable compliment to Zeke, but I don't see lead dog there.

 

[32BellyOption]

I think there are only a couple backs in the league that could replace Zeke. And neither plays for the Cowboys currently. I do think Pollard could be a piece that helps offset the missing Zeke. In the end though we all know Zeke will be here when the bright lights of the regular season are shining. Zeke loves the spotlight and Zeke is a fierce competitor as is Jerry and they both need each other.

 

[Asklesko]

It's the system. Pollard = Zeke because the system. Anyone can run behind this line. Zeke is overrated.

 

[noshame]

Doesn't have to replace Zeke he has to play good enough to win which he certainly looks like he can
