Running backs don't matter, but quarterbacks do. That's why the Dallas Cowboys should forget about Ezekiel Elliott and focus on Dak Prescott.
OK, "running backs don't matter" may be fun to shout in a football argument, but that's overstating and oversimplifying things a bit. Let's try again.
Quarterbacks matter much, much more than running backs, and they are both much harder to find and more expensive to keep. And that's why the Cowboys should be focused on signing Prescott to a new contract, not on the Elliott holdout drama.
Every moment Jerry and Stephen Jones spend working on the Elliott contract is a moment that's not spent working on the Prescott contract.
