Lol Zeke is going to finish top 5 in yardage more than likely.

And? I think the point of the discussion is not which running back is better but what running back is a better financial option for a franchise. Zeke eats up a lot of cap space, but is he worth it? Is he the difference in them being a playoff team or not or making a run or not? I think most people would say they could get a running back at a fraction of the cost of Zeke and not notice the difference in a meaningful way. It's just not a high value position in the NFL anymore

Are you comparing salaries of a rb who crapped the bed so badly he was waived with someone who won 2 rushing titles in his first 3 years?

no.

i'm asking who you'd rather have on your team.

If the Zeke contract were crippling to Dallas, I'd say Fournette. But Dallas is in decent cap shape as far as I know. So I'll take Zeke's chemistry with Dak and (I think) marginally greater talent.

I say that as a Panthers fan with CMC.



Given their shorter career span, RBs should have opt outs every year. Let them get paid at their peak and not cut 2 years later. frick the rookie scale for RBs.

Straight up it's Zeke and not that close. You are being a troll and everyone is calling you out on it

Somehow Zeke still has more career rushing yards than Henry.

Selena is a better back by far. But Fournette is on a better team.

This thread is a slight against Jerry Jones, not Zeke. Zeke did nothing wrong by signing that contract and him being overpaid doesn’t mean he isn’t a really good player.

That 12M could hypothetically be used on another blue chipper on defense which most ppl would take if the trade off simply meant a guy like Fournette backing up Pollard, which would likely still have Dallas equally as productive offensively.

This isn't a debate. I think you need to learn what debate means

LF7 should be the only answer because of the price tag

But I’m not convinced he’d be good without Tom

Except it's not just Zeke vs Fournette, you seem to be missing that.
