    Haven't had the chance to start up a franchise yet, been too busy, but from the one game I played online everything seems to be super slow. Like the players arent as fast/quick as usual imo

    I'll wait til a patch or 2 comes out to see how it is. Games on launch are usually not at their best

    Great, Ben hit his head and was down for a few minutes. Hopefully he’s ok. Even Ben once said Tomlin over does the physical part of camp compared to teams like the panthers and Miami. I understand you do need to get hit some in live action to get your body past the soreness period.

    But otherwise, these guys are professionals. They don’t need a bunch of extra physical practice. Ik this was Tomlins fault from some inside sources going around.

    Curious why you feel this way because neither one has been way better than the other. They’ve both been pretty awesome. Good corners are just harder to find

    elite corners are way harder to find and way more important than a great RB. In about the last twenty years only 1 or 2 super bowl winners had a top tier RB. Elliott is fine now when he's on his rookie deal, but when they have to pay him his market will be way too high and will take cap space away from the cowboys that would be better suited elsewhere

    Zeke is more valuable than Ramsey. Ramsey maybe a more elite player at his position (though Zeke is a top 5 RB in his own right) but his impact on the offense is huge. He is our go to guy. He’s our playmaker.

    Absolutely... he’s a versatile RB that can do it all. Run, catch, block. He was 10th in rushing yards last season & played 10 games.

    Man I love Zeke, but I would probably take Ramsey over him if I had to. It’s close.

    I’m not totally opposed to this, in fact, I wanted Ramsey over Zeke at the time. It’s really just dependent on how your team is built. At the time, I didn’t know Zeke was going to be as valuable to the cowboys offense as he is now. Had we drafted Ramsey, he would just be a great player on an average to maybe slightly above average defense.

    This is the year we’ll find out if Zeke is the real deal. A lot of fantasy anaylsts I’ve been watching think he may end up with the most yards and most carries. Bell is still more athletic than him and a better guy to put at slot and catch a ball. I’d maybe take Gurley as the best running up the middle back.

    You get first pick in fantasy this year, who would you take. A point per reception league. I’m torn between Bell and Gurley.

    I'm looking more into the future when Dallas is forced to pay up for him and paying RB's high salaries rarely if ever works in the NFL. I know were seeing a resurgence in the importance of RBs, but I just don't see the value in having one prime guy over a committee.
