I have always been bewildered and how fast Zeke fell from Grace. I mean, it was like almost immediately after he signed that second contract. His productivity started going down fast.
I thought Dak was gonna be one of the best Players quarterbacks in the league after that first year, then they watched film on him and he was mediocre afterwards after. I don’t even watch NFL at all but, Feel like Dak fell off the same as Zeke.
Don't Dallas Cowboys fans realize the Skip's constant glamorizing of the Cowboys, made football fans despise the Cowboys. He along with Jerry Jones live in alternate universe where the Cowboys remain relevant. No one says that Jerry isn't a excellent businessman. But as President and General Manager he's awful, especially this year. Skip continues to live in the past. That's what old men do. Live their Glory Days. Sad, really.
Zeke was a good back who looked better behind a dominant offensive line. I never thought he was special. A back like that, once he slips even a little bit and the talent around him weakens, well, they fall apart quickly. Jerry was a dope to pay him, just as he is now with average Dak.
Zeke is the only running back that I ever saw get called for spearing, while he was running with the ball. I still didn’t understand that call. Every running back puts their head down when they’re about to get tackled so as to get as many yards as they can.
It seems like everyone of these star players that get charged with hurting a woman in some kind of way. Whether they actually did it or not. No matter what it seems like their career starts to go down the drain. Almost as if they’re talent, just all the sudden disappeared because of the criminal charge or whatever.
What Jerry said is actually one of the things I don't like in the NFL: how a player can just join a champion-calibur team late, without doing any of the work or contributing to that success, and just ride those coat tails to a title. Anyway I'll miss Zeke's highlight plays like his hurdles.
Zeke is the perfect example to why if I ran an NFL team, I would never start contract talks until the contract. The player already signed has completely finished. You have 30 days between the season ending and free agency to sign your own free agents. If I ran a team and we didn’t sign you within those 30 days. Then talked to would cut off immediately and you would have to go to another team.And my team will not accept any hold outs from any other teams ever. You have to run a team like you have a pair. Jerry Jones does not do that. He gives into everybody, especially if he drafted you.
Jerry gave Zeke 3 million and gave a third string quarterback that’s never gonna play, 4 million. So there’s already your 7 million you could’ve given to the Titan superstar running back who’s having another pro bowl year, he only wanted 8 million. So Jerry saying he couldn’t afford him as a straight out lie
Zeke maybe a perfect example how money can zap motivation . His heart wasn't there especially after the suspension. He may grab some life with the right team and coach . I think the rams could work with McVey . I don't see to much with the rest of the playoff teams . Chargers could be a spot but hardbaugh might think he won't give the effort . Campbell and the lions the same .
Maybe he should have gave it to Cooper Rush. Thats the worst play I have ever seen against a team in a year... 6.5 ppg 3.5 turnovers... almost got more turnovers then points
Had Dowdle in fantasy all season. Was happy when he got the call to be the lead back. Unfortunately had to sit him again because of coach McCarthy’s undying love to constantly “feed” Zeke at the goal line.
Skip we as fans are living this nightmare with you . I'm worried about a big contract with Micah It could really hurt us. He is not even close to Charles Haley . Half the time I look at the TV he looks tired gasping for air . I agree with you he's fast . He doesn't have the size.
To maintain a high level of performance in the NFL, you have to be motivated. If money is your only motivation, you have no reason to maintain high performance once you get paid.
Zeke isn't washed. He did what a lot of athletes do. They play for the bag and then rest on their laurels. They don't work out as hard. They don't practice as hard. It's over. The best of the best are the total antithesis of that.
I felt like zeke wasn't very careful or had any knowledge about taking care of his body. i mean, he looks like he drinks a lot lately, but what do i know maybe he has something brothering him 🤔 but yeah that 2016 was fucking awesome 👌🏾
Zeke was tailor made for that 2016 O line and Romo. His running style was never going to be for long. Never had the quickest feet or the best vision and patience. If he was drafted 2 years earlier, Dallas wins the SB in 14
As Skip said, RBs don’t have a long shelf life. So not entirely unexpected here given how long Zeke has been around. Maybe his decline was swifter and harder than others, but this isn’t any all-time fall from grace by any means.
I was never a fan of drafting Zeke because i knew his style of running would not hold up too small for someone who didn't avoid Contact i like bigger back that could deliver punishment
I'm an eagles fan so I don't want anyone to think I'm a cowboys fan defending him. But why are u saying he is whining? He isn't whining at all in this video. He is summarizing zeke Elliotts career.
@dtimbs84 no way. John Bayliss is doing his glum-faced "woe is me" schtick for all it's worth, which in my opinion is ZERO. He's annoying when Dallas wins and unbearable when they lose, which is most often.
I Love Zeek But I've known for a long time, that Zeek is Lazy, he doesn't like to work out. And that's some of his problem, because he doesn't like putting in the work, to be a better player. He Just played off of pure talent at first. If he would have practice hard, with that pure talent, he would have been one of the very best running 🏃♂️ backs of all Time
I forgot about Zeke being paid and then jerry did it again and again. Paying dak the first time was already a mistake and then giving him absurd 💵 again let alone making him the highest paid player ever is just dumbass to the highest level. How many weapons they could have with that❓
May sound crazy, but Zeke carried Dak for YEARS, for YEARS, and made Dak look decent, but like Earl Campbell the injuries caught up and took their toll and that money was all it took and the wheels came off
Wow your Colorado boys and so called Heisman winner sure got exposed for what they really are. Any NFL team who wastes a high draft pick on any of them will get what they deserve.
Hey skip don't ypu remember what you said about saquon when you and keyshawn talked about him signing with philly . I think you need to publicly apologize to saquon !!! Cause your eating crow rite now . Saquon showed you big time !!!! Fly eagles fly!¡! !!!DALLAS SUCKS!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
Zeke is the only running back that I ever saw get called for spearing, while he was running with the ball. I still didn’t understand that call. Every running back puts their head down when they’re about to get tackled so as to get as many yards as they can.
I haven’t even started the video yet but I’m sure he says “he looked like he was still running in Cabo sand” 😂😂
8:07
Actually..He Said it Twice 12:22
😂😂😂
😂
😂😂😂

Jerry Jones LOVES living in the past. Thats why he was brought back. If Troy, Emmit, and Micheal wanted to come back and play he would sign them.
lmao true
They won 3 superbowls
He got paid and was never the same again. Lol
Don't Dallas Cowboys fans realize the Skip's constant glamorizing of the Cowboys, made football fans despise the Cowboys.

Thanks for being in descent shape for 2 years of your career Zeke.
After 2021 Zeke didn’t have that burst anymore. Should’ve never paid him.
Zeke was a good back who looked better behind a dominant offensive line. I never thought he was special. A back like that, once he slips even a little bit and the talent around him weakens, well, they fall apart quickly. Jerry was a dope to pay him, just as he is now with average Dak.
Cut Zeke??? Why not cut all the starters and begin 2025 with all new players. Can’t really get any worse
Zeke gone, but not forgotten.
Who?
The circus in Dallas continues
Zeke is the only running back that I ever saw get called for spearing, while he was running with the ball. I still didn’t understand that call. Every running back puts their head down when they’re about to get tackled so as to get as many yards as they can.
Zeke was scary for a defender to tackle because he was fast and big and strong and violent.
Your 100% right, Skip. Happy New Year.
Bringing him back made no sense, but why cut him with one game left? Don't embarrass him.
He asked for it
He asked for it. Forget him.
He wanted a chance to go to a playoff team. As far as embarrassing him..., he does a good job at that himself.
There is alot of things Jerry does that makes no sense.
He embarrassed himself

We drafted Zeke at like 20 years old , so I figured we’d get at least seven, 1000 yard seasons out of him.
Zeke is the perfect example to why if I ran an NFL team, I would never start contract talks until the contract. The player already signed has completely finished. You have 30 days between the season ending and free agency to sign your own free agents. If I ran a team and we didn’t sign you within those 30 days.

"If I ran an NFL team" You sound like Jerry Jones lol

So there’s already your 7 million you could’ve given to the Titan superstar running back who’s having another pro bowl year, he only wanted 8 million. So Jerry saying he couldn’t afford him as a straight out lie
Derrick Henry was available 😅
Barkley and Jones too 💥💥
i gotta admit skip might be the only cowboys fan that isn't delusional, i mean he was but hes one of the few to accept it lmao
skip is really talking about himself
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mind you he’s accomplished more than you probably ever will 🥲
@@gusthebus2189how do you know clown ?
@gusthebus2189 You a dude takin selfies time to stop talking lol
He has been lost it. We got about 2 to 3 good years out of him and thats it.
3 years
He asked to be released by the Cowboys. And so, they honored his request and let him go...
Skip absolutely nailed it again!!!
I like listening to skip. He’s very good at talking
Zeke maybe a perfect example how money can zap motivation . His heart wasn't there especially after the suspension. He may grab some life with the right team and coach . I think the rams could work with McVey . I don't see to much with the rest of the playoff teams . Chargers could be a spot but hardbaugh might think he won't give the effort . Campbell and the lions the same .
He was always out partying and getting caught in outside drama. Who knows who Zeke could’ve been if he had taken it more seriously.
The Cowboys wasted his season this year. And I can’t figure out why.
Maybe if Jerry had paid Zeke 60 MIL per year he would have played better, I mean it worked out for Dak............WAIT !!!
Hahaha 😅
Maybe he should have gave it to Cooper Rush. Thats the worst play I have ever seen against a team in a year... 6.5 ppg 3.5 turnovers... almost got more turnovers then points
I feel like the Cowboys lost on purpose this year.
😂😂😂😂
Cowboys Never Upgraded in the off season.
Make up made a big difference on Skip when he was on Fox. 😂😅😂😅
Man is in his 80s and you talking
Sooooooooooooooooooooooo love my Zeke !!!! 44 year Cowboy fan, our version of Riggo !!! Even suspended, almost had 1000
Ezekiel Elliott is the microcosm of the Dallas cowboys after they won their 5th Superbowl.
Had Dowdle in fantasy all season. Was happy when he got the call to be the lead back. Unfortunately had to sit him again because of coach McCarthy’s undying love to constantly “feed” Zeke at the goal line.
Skip we as fans are living this nightmare with you . I'm worried about a big contract with Micah It could really hurt us. He is not even close to Charles Haley . Half the time I look at the TV he looks tired gasping for air . I agree with you he's fast . He doesn't have the size.
The year Ohio State won the championship and his rookie year were his best years. His game against Alabama guaranteed him being a top 10 pick.
I was never a fan! The ONLY reason he had the rookie season he had was because we had a shell of a offensive line.
Wrong . Zeke was phenomenal 2 years in college and 3 years in the Pro’s
Are the Cowboys ever gonna be relevant again?
To maintain a high level of performance in the NFL, you have to be motivated. If money is your only motivation, you have no reason to maintain high performance once you get paid.
Do you read Texas Monthly Skip? You should.
Zeke isn't washed. He did what a lot of athletes do. They play for the bag and then rest on their laurels.
They don't work out as hard. They don't practice as hard. It's over.
The best of the best are the total antithesis of that.

If? Lol
As Skip said, RBs don’t have a long shelf life. So not entirely unexpected here given how long Zeke has been around.
Maybe his decline was swifter and harder than others, but this isn’t any all-time fall from grace by any means.
Talent is only part of what it takes to be great. A lot of guys have screwed Jerry for big bucks, it has become a cultural tradition in Dallas.
You gotta give it to Skip , he sticks to his content, even if it stinks and is repetitive drivel😂😂😂
Feel sorry for skip.. he has been relegated to this mediocre podcast!
Zeke was a beast in college, not so much in NFL. Jumped in a bucket is his career highlight. Go Birds!
Should've left after sophomore year
Zeke finish third in NFL MVP voting his rookie year.
If you could get the camera just a little closer
He had 3 good seasons. He was good, but the Cowboys Fandom overrated him.
Not really he had potential to be great but once he got paid he gave up
I was never a fan of drafting Zeke because i knew his style of running would not hold up too small for someone who didn't avoid Contact i like bigger back that could deliver punishment
Shannon told you for years it was Zeke.
I thought this guy retired just as Zeek did. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂cowboys
Jerry Jones doesn’t understand free agency or the salary cap.
Drip Bayless, why can't my Steelers just win the big games?
Skip lookin sickly
Skip, you’ve aged 50yrs in 5.
Back up bro
This guy never stops whining.
Your team sux, Bayliss! Deal with it.
And we still watch him
I'm an eagles fan so I don't want anyone to think I'm a cowboys fan defending him. But why are u saying he is whining? He isn't whining at all in this video. He is summarizing zeke Elliotts career.
@dtimbs84 no way. John Bayliss is doing his glum-faced "woe is me" schtick for all it's worth, which in my opinion is ZERO. He's annoying when Dallas wins and unbearable when they lose, which is most often.
Bye FELICIA 👋
Yeah, Skip loves Zeke. Almost as much as his father Baker Mayfield. Ah yes. Skip Mayfield.
I Love Zeek
But I've known for a long time, that Zeek is Lazy, he doesn't like to work out.
And that's some of his problem, because he doesn't like putting in the work, to be a better player.
He Just played off of pure talent at first.
If he would have practice hard, with that pure talent, he would have been one of the very best running 🏃♂️ backs of all Time
2 overpaid players In NFL history zeke & Dak. Both cowboys. Accident waiting to happen.
Time for a change
Dak made some unbelievable plays that rookie season Skip, you should probably to some jail time how you switch on Dak
That O-line trash not Zeke fault
The O-line is trash, but Zeke has been trash for a while now.
@ you may be right, but i seen most of the time he’s tackled as soon as he gets the ball.
He had more tha 1 year cmon skip. He gave you a great rookie contract. You dont pay them after that unless they catch balls.
There was never a decline just fell off in span of 9 months
Never like how Dallas did Demarco Murray dirty ran wheel off him then wouldn't pay him
I forgot about Zeke being paid and then jerry did it again and again. Paying dak the first time was already a mistake and then giving him absurd 💵 again let alone making him the highest paid player ever is just dumbass to the highest level. How many weapons they could have with that❓
Dallas has become The team great players go to wither away without a trophy!
Demarco Murray was better
Shanon is Pat Mahomes and You’re Cooper Rush 😂
Zeke was finished 3 years ago incase you haven’t noticed 😂 we need better content.
Zeke isn’t someone I admired or liked . 3 great years in the NFL . Not a great person . Pouted , unprofessional and off the field was interesting .
He was done after he got his big contract he held out for. I personally never really liked him.
Jumped off a cliff 😂 skip crazy
Never liked him. Overhyped. Dumb feed me feed me. Jumping into the kettle utter stupidity
May sound crazy, but Zeke carried Dak for YEARS, for YEARS, and made Dak look decent, but like Earl Campbell the injuries caught up and took their toll and that money was all it took and the wheels came off
You out yo mind outside the first year maybe even second he was just good at blocking lmao amari cooper was daks saving grace not zeke
Ehhh 65/35 zeke but to be fair
Duel threat take care of the ball DAK was lowkey the best version of him.
See if you're doing as a disservice by even giving this man a mention is trash you'll always be trash 👎🏿
He ate himself out of the league
So what? 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
Sure ho[e he did not blow through all of his money!
All time ???😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😢
Couldn't stay off the Weeden!
💯
Skip, I love you bro, but get some sun my brotha!
I can loan you some melanin if you like!🙏🏾😀
👀👀👀
Hahahaha look at Skip!
If you put Zeke on the Eagles, he eould run for 2000 yards in a season, too. So stop. It would take him 1000 carries though.
Who cares
When are you gonna be gone for good with your crappy takes?
Wow your Colorado boys and so called Heisman winner sure got exposed for what they really are. Any NFL team who wastes a high draft pick on any of them will get what they deserve.
Skip!
Hey skip don't ypu remember what you said about saquon when you and keyshawn talked about him signing with philly . I think you need to publicly apologize to saquon !!! Cause your eating crow rite now . Saquon showed you big time !!!! Fly eagles fly!¡!
!!!DALLAS SUCKS!!! 😂😂😂😂😂
Zeke is the only running back that I ever saw get called for spearing, while he was running with the ball. I still didn’t understand that call. Every running back puts their head down when they’re about to get tackled so as to get as many yards as they can.
