Sunday night's game showed exactly why ANY player on the Dallas Cowboys should use any leverage they have to force the Joneses to pay them.
Ezekiel Elliott knew that he might struggle at times, and the history of the Cowboys under Garrett shows that, more often than not, the Cowboys will tank and someone will have to take the blame.
Garrett isn't about to, and Elliott replaced DeMarco Murray, who had been a league leading rusher since coming to the Cowboys and playing out his rookie contract.
So now it's easy to discount how good Elliott is because so many fans don't understand the complexities of a run game and blocking schemes, and the Cowboys desire to be a pass happy team is obvious.
Elliott is a star. He plays like one.
But even he can't overcome the perennial mediocrity that the Cowboys have repeatedly proven to suffer under the Garrett/Jones "Let's try this" philosophy.
