#Cowboys made the two biggest mistakes you could make with a RB

A) Never draft one high [used 4th overall pick]

B) Don& #39;t give him a massive contract

Cowboys gave Elliott a $90M contract but without Dak, their offense is dead in the water, and Zeke also has 5 fumbles in 6 games
How often do we see that if a starting RB leaves the game, their backup comes in and produces just as well? and even if it& #39;s slightly worse, it& #39;s hardly noticeable.

Zeke has ran for 4.1 yards per carry this year, his backup, a mid-round pick last year Tony Pollard, has 4.0 avrg
A good thread here by @MichaelDavSmith shows how little value a "RB1" has for a team.

The thing that matters more is scheme and OL play vs a defense. The RB himself adds little to no value to a rushing attack. https://twitter.com/MichaelDavSmith/status/1313157233027543040">https://twitter.com/MichaelDa...
