I agree. “ Can our QB play well without that RB?”
And this is probably the biggest question. Prior history doesn’t provide us much comfort.
Not sure panic is called for.
Remember..wasn't that long ago we had DeMarco Murray.
We did ok.
Randle was a disaster.
MBIII was another guy who lasted a couple of years and did well.
It maybe that we have to stop thinking in terms of Zeke always being around.
Some have suggested we drafted thinking to replace Zeke.
I thought that was crazy but it maybe.
Zeke is slowly playing his way off the team and out of his big contract.
Planned obsolescence and back to playing by committee maybe required at RB for us.
Thing is..one of two things this will do..
If he is suspended a siignificant number of games..
then we will find out quickly if the $30 mil to DAK is worth it or not.
Also we will know if putting the whole season on DAK if Zeke is gone is surely going to speed up DAK's development.
Good or bad.
We will see.
