Holding onto injury prone players because you're scared is worse. Leads to mediocrity.The Cowboys gave up on WR Jimmy Smith after only 2 seasons and he ended up having an excellent career with the Jaguars. I don't think the Cowboys should give up on LVE too soon. I actually wished they used their 5th year option on him. So they wouldn't be obligated to use the franchise tag on him if he stays healthy and plays up to his ability. LVE is a HOF caliber talent.
Are you a doctor?It's not wise to hold onto a player with a degenerative condition because some dude did it 20 years ago. LVE should never have been drafted in the 1st place, let alone as a 1st round pick.
Just because they didn't pick up his 5th year option doesn't mean they gave up on him. He still has one more year on his contract and if he balls out he will get extended.
We don’t know his medical like they do.
We know basically nothing.
And had the same issues in college, so this is not a new thing.we know he’s having trouble staying healthy and playing in games at a high level and that’s enough
Do you possess any evaluation skills?Are you a doctor?

Injured players don't win games.
They didn't exercise that 5th year for a very good reason, ?'s about his long term health.
Jimmy Smith wasn't a long term health concern like a neck issue with a LB. Is he going to bust heads with OL and RB's?
His comments about coming back to Dallas and rededicating himself this offseason sounded like agent talk to me. Must have sounded like it to management as well.
We know basically nothing.
Do you always need to be a doctor to make an informed decision from a medical standpoint? Is there not enough information out there to make a judgment call in this case? What kind of doctor do you speak of? Will you take the word of neurosurgeon or would you also want to hear from a sports psychologist and find out about any mental effects the player may be experiencing?Are you a doctor?
Are they saying they want to gat an extension done with him? Hadn't heard that, only that they declined the 5th year option.If they have questions about long term health then they made a massive screw up when they drafted him because they checked him twice and gave it the green light.
If they had questions about his health I don’t think they would be publicly saying they want to get an extension done. That just makes no sense.
We are actually better with the less we know.That's never stopped this place.
Never sell low always sell high. It's like the stock market. Don't panic sell when the value is decreasing. Hope they stay healthy this season and rebound. Then consider trade options.
That's never stopped this place.
"Maybe"???maybe i'm just a homer but i don't think they have or will.

I just know a good player when I see one and from year 2, they started moving them around because they had these so called genius coaches. Question for you. Why not give him another year and see what he does. Quinn may get him and Jaylon both back to playing well.Do you possess any evaluation skills?
