no hes not. Im not saying zeke isnt good either. I just am merely saying that at pick 4, i think i would have not taken a rb. That with THAT o-line, you can find many rb's who would do 1400-1500 yards, is elliot a big upgrade yes, absolutely. Did it work out for the cowboys, hell yeah. If your front office thought he was your guy, you go get him period.
I personally believe ALF would average over 5 YPC behind that line

Zeke is a great back, but Dak is as big a help to him as the OLine. The defense always has to account for the fake/QB run, so you hardly ever see the ends/outside backers cash on a handoff

I said at the draft the that Zeke was the real deal.
Think I'm unhappy about anything with Zeke at this point?????

Alfred Morris: 61 Carries, 231 Yards, 3.8 YPC

Sure, you could say Morris hasn't had a chance to get in a groove, but from what I have seen this year, Morris is a clear downgrade in the run game - not even mentioning the passing game. I doubt Morris averages 5 YPC in a full time role. Some people discount what Elliott has done because of the Oline, but I wonder how many Cowboys games those people have watched? Elliott faces 8 in the box all the time, teams are selling out to stop the Dallas run game. Elliott's success is no fluke, and it's as much to do with him as it is the Oline.
