Revisionist history :unimpressed:

Zeke was a beast out the gate and was a major reason for their success. They ran him into the ground shortening his career, extended him for too long, and didn't capitalize on his prime by winning a Superbowl.

Zeke was worthy of his draft spot. Jerry didn't do enough with the defense and coaches.

That’s a motherfukker I can’t trust, if I’m dak or any other star player…

He’s going to go at dak when he’s gone and the team doesn’t win shyt
Brand is too strong for it to matter at this point. Sorta like the Lakers always having so much random front office fukkery; it won’t turn players and agents off because it’s still the Lakers.

shyt, even Darren McFadden was a 1,000 yards rusher behind that Offensive Line.

The pick was straight dumb and anyone that disagree is a goofy in their feelings.
You know whats even more hilarious looking back. Right when we drafted Zeke is when teams started throwing the ball and not really giving a fukk about who the running back was. Running backs started being positions that served no purpose other than to get you to 2nd and medium or 3rd and short. And these fukking hillbillies wasted a top 5 pick on a position that was getting fazed out of football. Then DOUBLED DOWN on it two years later when every other team had insert 4th round pick making 450k as they running back. Disgusting. :scust:

2016, Denver. Running back by committee. Nobody had over 700 rushing yards.
2017. Patriots. Dion Lewis doesn't even get 900 rushing yards. Brady throws the ball almost 600 times. No Falcons running back runs for 900 yards.
2018. Eagles. Running back by committee. No running back rushes for 600 yards.

All these teams winning superbowls just handing it off to random people to get 5 yards and the cowboys wasting a dominant offensive line who got Darren fukking McFadden 1200 yards on a running back drafted with a top 5 pick.

Arguably the dumbest pick in cowboys history.

All of the All Pro, Pro Bowl, and HOF blockers Zeke was running behind either left ( Frederick retired ) or got old / hurt ( Tyron and La 'el ). Take away the all pro's up front and Zeke is just another dude who falls on the ground soon as you touch him. Cowboys had to move to a more Dak centric offense since Zeke legit can't get 4 yards a carry without AT LEAST 3 pro bowlers on the line.
Man stop, I dont what personal agenda you have against zeke but dude earned his contract.

Because the line and WR were running down field and opening up holes. Derrick Henry with that line has a ring already.... Zeke was too focused on fakkit outfits and jumping into salvation army bins.

You have a PO Box so I can send you a VHS of the last Cowboys Superbowl win?
:heh:
Zeke hired this dude as his "personal chef", he wasn't trying to win any Superbowls





Get the fukk outta here
:mjlol:

Running backs don't win rings you sound like a a clueless casual
