Zeke was once in pollards shoes. And it was only 3 years ago.Zeke is proven
Pollard looks nice but the kid has alll of 9 carries

I'd bet everything that a combination of Pollard and an average back like Lat Murray would match Zeke's output, but more efficiently.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?
If you have any thoughts that Pollard will be able to replace Zeke.
I think L Murray is above average but he is exactly who i keep coming back to in my mind as a perfect compliment to our current stable.I'd bet everything that a combination of Pollard and an average back like Lat Murray would match Zeke's output, but more efficiently.
If EzE continues to play stupid games, then Pollard is our stupid answer.If you have any thoughts that Pollard will be able to replace Zeke.
Are you replying to the right post of mine? That made no sense at all. Maybe you should go finish your coffee before you get back with me.I did and you are getting ahead of yourself a bit too much. It's not hope. Its reality at this point in time.
Hell, if saving money is the goal, there are a lot of players we can cut. I'm certainly not of a mind to pay Zeke whatever he asks, but the OP is right that it's unrealistic to think we won't miss a beat with Pollard. Pollard was never even the go to RB in college.You're not replacing Zeke, but you will replace his paycheck. Production vs cap hit.
Doesn't have to replace Zeke he has to play good enough to win which he certainly looks like he can
It will not destroy the team. When will folks understand that ALL Teams eventually have a WINDOW. Once the window is closed you're in rebuilding mode for 5 years....Unless you're the Patriots. Carolina went dang near undefeated one year and was back to the pack the next. PUT All your CHIPs in or go 9-7 and hope to win 1 playoff game. Do you think every GOOD Cowboy player is gonna give discounts cause it Dallas? If so I got a bridge for sale. Zeke is the best player on the team...THE ENGINE. Zeke is simply trying to get his money in his prime and also open the door for one more decent contract in his late 20's. He will Leveon Bell this team to do it. Pittsburgh make the playoffs last year?What you are hoping for is a precedent that will destroy the team. Every rookie will holdout when he outplays his rookie contract.
Lol I do need coffee for sure. I was responding to your post about Dallas winning the first 3 games of the regular season.Are you replying to the right post of mine? That made no sense at all. Maybe you should go finish your coffee before you get back with me.

It will be a committee. Pollard would be a part of that. No one expects him to carry the load? But he should be set up for a nice workload with or without zeke.
And saving long term money is part of the goal.
Do we really think adding Jordan Chunn, Alfred Morris or Darius Jackson into the mix along with Pollard improves our chances of replacing what we get from Zeke?
The point of saving money isn't just to have it, it's to use it to improve the team. Taking a big hit to our running game isn't likely to do that.
Something similar to what the Saints did with Kamara.I'd bet everything that a combination of Pollard and an average back like Lat Murray would match Zeke's output, but more efficiently.
He’s not worth highest paid RB money. You have a lot of contracts on the horizon and zeke got what? a top 3 offer. Plus his work load should be lighter and he’s a headache off the field. he’d be paid already if he wasn’t.
You can't simply assume Pollard can do what Kamara does. I hope he can, but that's far from assured.Something similar to what the Saints did with Kamara.
Apples and oranges. Stop being so consumed in making your point that you must ignore mine.It will not destroy the team. When will folks understand that ALL Teams eventually have a WINDOW.
