Twitter: Stephen on drafting another RB in the first round

Be here for 10 years, or great for 10 years? Loser.

 

[MaineBoy]

A running back for 10 years ? Hopeless.

 

[DandyDon52]

Boy wonder speaks again lol.
That means they want elliot for another 3 years?
pacheco was 7th round , I know they saw the SB, you would think that would tell them you dont need to draft RB's in hight rounds.
They are some slow learners lol.

 

[NeonNinja]

Our front office never learns. Same mistakes over and over again.

You project drafting a running back who is capable of producing at a high level for three or four seasons tops. Any top production after that is gravy.

Getting a dozen or more all-pro ballot running back is a dream come true. Landing a future Hall of Famer is a true blessing. Every NFL football executive wants those guys but should know they are not guaranteed. The goal should always be targeting the best durable and productive back available each round over the short-term. That is realistic drafting.

“If you’re taking a [running back] player in the top half, you’re hoping you’ve got a player who is going to be here for 10 years.” The man does not seemingly have a reasonable working awareness of effective player longevity by position.

They are stuck in the 90's when you needed that bellcow back and the rules weren't so in favor of the passing game.

I'd love Gibbs on this team, but years 7-10 may not be pretty.

Has Zeke been here for 10 years? It feels like he's been here for 12 yrs but productive only in 4.

 

[75boyz]

I get more and more confident of Stephen taking over with each tweet.

You are thinking in human athletic years. Four highly productive years for an Ewok is equal to 12 years for a human.

That was a joke, Elliott fans. Don't spam me with replies how I am being disrespectful to him. It'll make me sic Chewbacca on ya.

Who you can pay 96 million to again

They watched the game and said we like our guys

 

[MountaineerCowboy]

Oh, if he's taken in the 1st round and not a complete bust like Taco we can be sure you and pops will make him a Cowboys for life if possible.

How dare you sir !!

This calls for a duel
Choose your weapons

That’s not being disrespectful to Elliott but to Ewoks.

Never forget he was gifted the job.

Dallas doesn't like small shifty RBs. Just like the don't like big 350lb DTs

I love them and feel it's what we need, but they would cause too many matchup problems for a defense which would make us feel bad
