Here’s the list of the NFL’s Fastest Five to 2,000 career rushing yards (it’s actually six players on the list because there’s a three-way tie for third place):

2. Earl Campbell and Ezekiel Elliott (tie), 20 games

He's a special elite talent that the Cowboys made the exact right decision in selecting with the 4th pick

But some in here believe you never take a RB that high. Plus he’s an absolute head-case. Must be true.

Zeke just needs to grow up real fast.

And these achievements come along on the way to SB, as without them by some elite players you don't get to the SB.
And this is just a cop out to say things like that.
That is like saying I like coffee but prefer it to be hot.
Thanks.

What does that have to do with on the field achievements?

He won't be on the field to do much in his career if he doesn't mature.

He won't be on the field to do much in his career if he doesn't mature.

And did TO ever mature with his mouth and antics, he had a long career.

Lets see how this boy adds up to my all time Favourite..Tony Dorsett...Never mind Smith...he has a long, long way to go...especially in the courage department. I don't even like him that much and he is a Cowboy. Sad world we are living in.

He will be fine. He's not a thug, just a spoiled brat.

We have never won a Lombardi without a top RB.

Duane Thomas - who right now Zeke resembles a lot since Duane Thomas had both speed and power and was a very good blocker. He was also a head case that destroyed his own career. Had he been oriented right he could very well have made it to the HOF. 1971

Tony Dorset-1977

Emmitt Smith 1992, 1993, 1995.

Only our 1975 appearance did not have a Elite RB. Though Newhouse was pretty good. Our losing effort in 1970 had Duane Thomas as Rookie of the Year. And of course in 1978 we lost to the squealers despite TD being there.
