POLL The Zeke Elliot Fiasco

[fordman84]

Yup, but if a PPR, 22 of Barkleys may be receptions!!!

For Eli to complete 22 passes to Barkley, he would have to throw 44 times at him.

 

[Rock Strongo]

He hasn't had contact though in months. This is a recipe for a season of hamstring injuries. I know he is tough and not injury prone, but how often do we see someone hold out of training camp and then get soft tissue injuries that season.

Just sayin, keep the handcuff. May be able to flip someone for Pollard this morning.

hes been working with marshall faulk and his team of former players to get him ready form what i read. hes also in the best shape of his career.

i dont think id worry so much.

Weird stat. You can't win 16.1 games

NFL.com "win share" statistic calculates Ezekiel Elliott as adding 1.1 win to Cowboys total in 2019

hes the best back in football IMO. barkley may take him over, but for now, its him IMO.

Faulk won't hit him like an opposing team will, though. Easy to run in shorts and no shirt, through arm tackles and pads.

ah, so asvanced metrics are here. Looks like win share is the same as WAR in baseball. Very interesting. I'll have to read up.

Just wait. He will be the best but only because of the line. Saquon will be rated more favorably because he has a shit QB and a shit OL. Seen this song and dance a few times before.

Jerry worried about paying Zeke???

No doubt Jerry could afford that contract. If there were no salary cap, Dallas would win every year.

go figure

 

[jarntt]

go figure

I just checked. It's down to 7.06. Jerry just lost $9M. Maybe I'll but it just to ensure he loses another $50M or so in the next week

I guess Philly should win by 4 TDs this week

Zeke just changed the market for good.

Yeah, he brought the market back up for all RB's. Now one of those guys just needs to take the rushing title from Zeke.

 

[RememberTheKoy]

I can't figure it out from that. If that is the entire bet then I read it as you saying Zeke will sign by Mid-October and he obviously did, so I would say you win the bet if that is everything.

To be fair I don't think anything was finalized. I'll still take the moral victory.

I see both saying he'll be signed. Koy was saying Jerry will cave. That's still to be determined.

 

[RememberTheKoy]

I don't know how this can be perceived as a non-cave. A few weeks back he was being offered a "top 5" contract and you Cowboys fans were saying Zeke has no leverage and Jerry wouldn't/shouldn't make him the highest paid running back and call his bluff and let him sit.

Zeke got his highest paid RB deal that he was aiming for.
