Never heard another player say anything negative about Zeke.
Now on here you are always acting like a Li’l schoolgirl and constantly running him down.
Lol, Zeke has been the biggest headache for this team since draft day. Unlike you, I don’t turn my head due to what a player accomplishes on the field, I’m sure if he were a scrub you would be a lot more critical.

Do you really need another player to say something publicly to confirm that he has been a distraction? Wake up dude, stop being a homer.

You need a good running game. That doesn't mean you need a superstar RB. Plug and play! Don't invest a lot of resources into one RB

His knees are gone. Worst kept secret in the NFL.

He's a cut candidate with that deal

stop the we shouldnt have signed Zeke, I find it odd that Johnson got moved but look what they got for him...htown gave up Hopkins and a 2 for him.. obviously RB is still important..Gurley is bad example because he was already hurt when they signed him it was dumb he had the knee they still inked him..

ZEKE IS THE ONLY BACK WHO AFTER SIGNING STILL MADE IT TOP 4 ONLY 30 YARDS SHORT OF CM of making it to 3? HE IS NEVER HURT ENOUGH TO MISS GAMES, HES STILL GAME PLANNED FOR AND VERY RELATIVE..I dont care about what he was in 2016 to now.. he still a beast and of the staff would have utilized him more in the pass game , he would be even more valuable..

teams still pick RBs top 5 after all this SB went high...you dont pay scrubs or inured players but Zeke not one of those...
its team by team and player by player situation on if you should or shouldnt sign the RB..

we relied on Dak more big puffy numbers and still finished 8-8 but Dak getting 32mil on a FT.. want 120 guarteed and 35 mil SMH thats an issue it ;like 18% of our cap zekes making around 13 mil atear the first 3 years.. thats not out of line..
Agree about Dak being overrated and part of the debacle last year with his puffed up passing yards which were mostly in garbage time against losing teams .
But zeke is not a difference maker anymore and lost a lot of the burst he had . The backup looked just as good .

saw this coming when they signed him. Gurley was always overrated. He is athletic, but he was never a special player unless he had the widest lanes to run through. They also jumped the gun on Goff, but he'll be around a little longer just because he's their pet.

the backup looks good one game, then fumbles and looks slow on just a few touches in other games, gets banged up throughout practices, or can't field a kick return to save his life. One week he'll make plays, the next several he disappears and all the "zeke sucks" talk is silenced. The backup will be decent for us until his contract runs out, he'll get a fat contract elsewhere then be out after 2 years elsewhere.

Good points about the backup . But you agree zeke is not worth 16 mil a year as a running back

Don't invest in runningbacks.. It's stupid.

They single handedly screwed up the RB market and we followed their footsteps.


Now they paid a slightly above mediocre QB and we have to now pay our slightly above mediocre QB.


Following the Rams stupidity.. It's what we do.

Henry was severely underpaid. He is by far Tennessee’s best player. He is what we wish Zeke was.
This is correct. Zeke was supposed to be this generational talent with a special blend of speed and power. He was supposed to get the tough yards and be able to take it the distance on any play. That lasted one year.

Henry is the one who can get the tough yards and be a threat on any play. He also dominated one of the best defenses in the league when they stacked the box over 60% of the time. Dude got hit 2 yards behind the LOS, then made Brandon Carr whiff for a 70 yard gain. Zeke has yet to do anything like that. Stack the box on Zeke and you got a bunch of excuses that Dak sucks.

to be fair they were stupid to sign him to that contract with his injury history.I think that's the reason for them wanting to dump him more than the money. Its his inability to live up to the money. Lets keep seeing Zeke wave to the sidelines for a blow and the cowboys will be trying to dump or trade their star in a 2 years
The Cowboys don’t dump guys until it’s way too late.

RB vs. QB CONTRACTS.....apples and oranges.
Overpaid is overpaid. You don’t pay a guy the most in NFL when he is not even top 7 at his position. But whoever is wearing the star come opening day I will be pulling hard for them.

For the next 3 years his cap hit is much less than that. And year 6 it's also much less, even though that's a long ways out.
