DeMarco Murray couldn't catch Cowboys legend Emmitt Smith - what chance does Ezekiel Elliott have?

Steve Dennis and SportsDay's Tim Cowlishaw recently talked about former Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray's retirement on KESN-FM 103.3 ESPN Radio. Here are some highlights, edited for clarity:

Tim Cowlishaw [6:42]: 72.5 yards per game as a running back -- [DeMarco Murray] only played 99 games. It reminds me, one more time, why Emmitt Smith's record won't be broken. Emmitt played 226 games. DeMarco Murray had a really nice career and he didn't come within 11,000 yards of catching Emmitt Smith. When you see that 1,845 rushing yards in a season that he ran for -- which did break Emmitt's record and the Cowboys team record -- odds of Ezekiel Elliott breaking that mark?
