Zeke wants to stay in Dallas

[MikeT22]

Hmmm why just the last 4 games?

He was bad all year, but really faded down the stretch and in the playoffs when stars shine.

Zeke must be really worried about it to float this out to the media already.

He knows he shouldn't be on the team.

yes. prediction...no one will pick him up

There's this term called "trend analysis". You should look into it.

Here, I'll even help: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trend_analysis

4 games is statistically insignificant. What is your methodology? I could point out many problems. You chose the last 4 games for a reason, which is to push your narrative. A better analysis is to say something happened after the Philly game that caused his production to drop. However, your "trend analysis" won't tell you what is causing it, you can just identify that something changed at that point. It is valuable if you want to know where to start looking for aditional information or starting point to look for a cause.

Unfortunately for you, you will never be able to get the data you need to determine the cause. You don't know if he was injured, you don't know if there was a shift in play calling, or if he flat out gave up. Also if you want to be "scientific" you probably shouldn't use wikipedia as your source.

I got it!! When it comes time for Zeke's contract, Jerry should hold out down in Cabo!!

Ezekiel Elliott has played his entire NFL career with the Dallas Cowboys, and he is reportedly willing to take a pay cut to ensure that continues.

Bleacher report

 

[Risen Star]

yes. prediction...no one will pick him up

He won't even be available. We're dumb enough to keep him.

Can't link it but Gehlken just tweeted that according to a source Zeke wants to stay and is willing to take a pay cut.

Hell naw

 

[Bullflop]

As much as I think it'd be better for the team to draft another RB other than Zeke, I can see Jerry & son retaining him.

Not too sure what might become of Pollard, although, knowing how much of a devoted fan Jerry is of both, they may return.

Zeke is no more than an old-school FB playing in a time virtually no one carries one on their roster. The problem is JJ looks at his players on a certain level and how they fit into his commodity, America’s Team. Zeke has grown into a very recognizable cog of this marketing behemoth. Cutting him would remove a big name and diminish JJ’s brand. A multi-billion dollar business largely based on marketing & personality. Not wins & losses.

VET MIN..................anything higher and he can walk.

Nothing. Let him go. Drive killer.

I hear he is ready to hold out in case the FO is not willing to give him a pay cut.

 

[TwentyOne]

Because Dez was just a product of Romo like so many other receivers (Austin, Hurd, Robinson, Crayton, etc.).

smh

 

[AmericanCowboy]

Can’t wait for the annual report of how Zeke is in the best shape of his career.

I really hope this is it for him. No one wants him back. He is literally one of the worst running backs in the league at this point

 

[Carter]

Vet Min and nothing more. Hes basically a blocking FB that only scores TDs from the 1 yard line.

 

[diamonddelts]

You guys got it all wrong and RonaldT24 has a 1,000+ word screed of unsubstantiated opinions and made up “facts” to prove why you’re all wrong about Zeke.

+Ranching seeing Zeke production that no one else can see.

 

[tunahelper]

season saved

3 yards and a cloud of dust for a reduced rate of $7.5m annually. Hurry Jerry Zeke won't offer this long.

 

[BrassCowboy]

No

 

[MWH1967]

All of a sudden, I'm not mad. He is worth keeping at a very reduced rate.
