Playing guys who are not as good because of salary loses games and losing games is how coaches get fired. I don't know of a lot of coaches willing to sacrifice their paychecks to put lesser players on the field because of salary. Maybe they do, but I don't think a lot of them do. For the most part the better players play. Nothing is universal of course but I think that's the general rule. I think Pollard will play over Zeke when the coaches determine he is better than Zeke.. not when he makes more money than Zeke.
It's not Mike's call. The person Mike reports to is going to make that call, and he'll ultimately fire Mike if it doesn't work. That's what's great about being Jerry Jones; nobody can fire him and he never really has to fear making the wrong decision.
