Zeke not looking worthy of the 4th overall pick **merged**

[robjay04]

I'm not saying he looks bad. I just don't think the current NFL warrants high RB picks.

That's a fine argument, everyone judging the draft pick in general after two games is wildly over exaggerating though.

I still don't think he is going to he any less special than the day we drafted him.

By the way, why is everyone on Morris' jock? He ran for 7 yards on 5 carries.

lol yeah he did

You justified his performance because they had 8 in the box.

My reading comprehension is just fine.

If Murray had come back and fumbled twice...you would be apoplectic and demand that he be deported.

I literally never referenced his performance because of people in the box. You are making things up. I think he ran well and had some critical mistakes. I'm not saying he had a good game, I'm saying this thread is absurd.

Murray is a veteran, Zeke is playing his second career game.

No comparasion.

No of us wants to see turnovers. We don't want to see Romo or Dak throw interceptions either...but it happens.

Talking about a RB fumbling not a QB throwing interceptions.

I hate our strategy in camp. Zeke needed work. We're too soft with our guys

Yep. Just another example of how scared Garrett is. I bet the wildest thing he's done in his life was drive 10mph over the speed limit.

 

[darthseinfeld]

Eh, great play or was his confidence down after the first one. He will be ok, just nothing special.

Its a marathon and not a sprint. I dont think we can really say special or average right now. We will be able to tell that from wheather he finishes the year with 900 yards or 1,300/ 1,400 yards. It seems he was much more effective running the ball this week so it seems like its starting to sink in

It doesn't matter when you're an NFL running back. Or even a college running back.

A few Cowboys fans loving it because they would rather a player, and therefore the team, struggles then they are being wrong.

So if you are tooting you horn or patting yourself on the back right now... That is really sad. But that's just my opinion.

You're not Kevin Costner and this isn't Draft Day.

Somehow, Costner was able to get the #4 pick in the draft for three second rounders, and then turn around and turn that pick into the #5 pick and two first rounders.

Who the heck is going to give up the #4 pick for three second rounders??? Watching the Avengers is probably more realistic than that !!!

 

[TheRomoSexual]

Morris should have started this game with Elliot getting a series here and there to give Morris a breather......

Yup, can't wait for more 1.4 yards a carry from that beastman Morris.

Not looking worthy of the 4th overall pick.

Ya just can't wait to rip on something can you?

Win in DC with a rookie QB. Defense holds the line. Dez gets his touches. Coach takes chances. But no, gotta find something.

You are one the fan base I love.

 

[BRoni]

I'll gladly take a Zeke jersey if one of you are ready to throw it out already.

 

[MRV52]

Morris has to start. Today Zeke played better but the fumbles hurt. If we don't recover that second one it could have been a different game.

 

[Naruto]

Dang some of these rookie WRs sure are looking good...

 

[Setackin]

IM NOT ON THE "ZEKE IS A BUST" Bandwagon

But Morris should start next week to send a message to the team about accountability.

 

[RS12]

I never wanted a RB at 4 but I do believe he is a baller. Sincerely doubt he busts.

 

[Nightman]

Glad to see 3 rushing TDs from 3 different guys

All 3 have a big role to play this year

 

[mattjames2010]

So, you didn't expect him to ever have a bad game? News Flash! That's not going to be his last bad game. And it won't be his last fumble. Every RB that's played football has missed a gaping hole. And I saw him shed a few tackles.

I expect an RB taken in the top 5 to be a huge factor in the run game and the passing game. I didn't know this was crazy expectations since RB is the easiest position to transition into when it comes to the NFL.

Also, this is the forum predicting he would have 1,500 yards this season and even some getting ridiculous and saying he would break records. It's funny to me, Murray got knocked as "It's all the line!" and gets 1,800 yards. Zeke is giving us less production, and the excuses are being thrown.

Admit it, there is a lot of fanboyism for this kid and it will blind them for quite some time. He's looked average the past two weeks, if it's not running well he's making mental errors. Maybe he will improve, but he's simply not living up to the hype.

EMMITT NEVER FUMBLED!!!!!

oh, wait...
