Honestly I think Zeke is decent RB but not Franchise RB. Pollard generally got more yards than Zeke after initial blocking scheme completed. I think this past year, Pollard could have actually won us a few more games with his vision and speed where Zeke can plow more short yards at the line when needed. Since we have both, we shoulda fed Pollard more when needing more than 4 yards.
The CAP money used on Zeke could have been better spent elsewhere.
Ever hear of Troy Hambrick?

"Hambrick is best known for being the player that replaced Smith as the Cowboys starter in the
2003 season. As the featured
running back, using his size and deceptive speed, he rushed for career highs with 275 carries for 972 yards and 5
touchdowns, helping the team back to the playoffs for the first time since
1998. During that season against the
Washington Commanders, he ran 33 times for 189 yards, which at the time was the third-most rushing yards in a game by a
running back in franchise history, only
Tony Dorsett and Smith had better games. On May 13,
2004, he was waived after the Cowboys drafted
Julius Jones in the second round and also took into consideration his production (3.5 yards per carry).

A lot of #2 running backs look good, until they become the #1 running back and then teams begin to game plan against them instead of the previous #1.
