Name all RB's, that have maintained high production, throughout their careers.
Was Zeke supposed to run for 1600+ a year?

With Ramsey’s attitude, just how long would he have stayed in Dallas? Ramsey definitely hasn’t had the impact on the teams that he has played for that Zeke has had. I will be the first to say that Zeke has declined rather rapidly, but I sure don’t Ramsey would have had the direct effect that Zeke has had on wins or loses.
You gonna put playing with the majority of the starting OL out and 4 different QBs on Zeke?
Do you watch football or are you just pissed because Zeke is getting with your ex?

You just made the argument against Elliott. The running back has a short average career of 2.66 years in the NFL. Now part of that is due to injuries and a big part of it has to do with reduction in production. All to often teams get a back and hope they found a Emmitt Smith type back but find out that their production starts to decrease way to quickly and that is why most teams don't use their 1st round pick on running backs.
Now if Elliott's production was at least staying close to the 1631 like in the 1500 AND the number of runs of 20 or more yards didn't decrease every year and if he didn't push to be paid as highest paid RB in NFL history while having his production decreasing and especially this season with his fumbling he probably would have more support. The Cowboys also had another RB that led all RB in the league in fumbles and the very next year they let him walk, Murray.

Exactly, which is the OP point: smart front offices don't pay RB big money.
Nice soliloquy, but you didn't remotely answer my question.
True, so why is Zeke being blamed for something management has done?
LOL! I am blaming management.True, so why is Zeke being blamed for something management has done?
I can’t believe we paid Zeke and Jaylon and let Byron walk....
Especially crazy to pay Zeke that much when you are hiring an OC who likes the passing game and isn’t a good match with Zeke’s talents. That’s just this fan’s opinion.
How about Jerry’s TopTen Greatest Blunders?Point here is that you don't pay that position. Some positions you have to pay b/c good players are more rare. But rbs are a dime a dozen in the NFL. If you have a good OL, you can pretty much give the ball to anyone and get 1k yard rusher. DMAC proved the point.....Demarco Murray proved the point. But we aren't the kind of organization that learns from experience. We are run like a fantasy football team. Giving Zeke a new fat contract 2 years early was the dumbest thing Jerry had done in a while.........probably since the Roy Williams trade. It will go down as one of the top 10 bonehead moves Jerry ever made.

10. “500 guys could coach this team”
9. “Brandon Weeden has the prettiest spiral...”
8. Drafting Kicker David Buechler in the 5th round
7. “Romo is so elusive, he doesn’t need a top offensive line.”
6. “It’s absurd to say there’s evidence that football can cause CTE.”
5. The infamous 2009 “Special Teams Draft”.
4. Trading a first rounder and third rounder for WR Roy Williams in 2008.
3. Trading 2 first round picks for WR Joey Galloway in 2000.
2. Signing Ezekiel Elliott to a huge contract two years before his rookie deal expired.
1. Letting the problems with Jimmy Johnson ruin a dynasty.
Amazingly, there are easily 10 more. Any other football executive would have been fired for 2-3 of these colossal blunders.
