Slate: Zeke missed three team meetings, and has been habitual tardy

[Coogiguy03]

Unbelievable that we would bring him back. For those out there who say what a great leader and teammate he is there you have it. Bro used to do this stuff when he was young but at least back then he was also awesome so Jerry looked the other way. Now he stinks and behaves the same way. Can't believe we brought him back.

Sad thing is fans talk about him as if he were still young and that great back of years past!!!!! They couldn't see past it

 

[Coogiguy03]

How are they supposed to sort anything out when they crypt keeper won't let the coaches do their jobs?

"It's been the way this team has always been set up!" lol

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

No way we cut him.


We’re saving him for the playoffs…per Jerry

"It's been the way this team has always been set up!" lol

Correct me here, they have their own genitals.

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Oh for a Bill Parcells..

Has to be Belichick or Vrabel as next HC someone who can at least try to sort this out

Maybe this is where a QB like a Bryson Daily (Army) or Blake Horvath (Navy) can be helpful. Think he'd be allowed to do this with a military QB? Daily or Horvath would drag his butt to the meetings 20 minutes early.

As long as Jerry is the owner, yes.

No you guys got it all wrong, according to @AbeBeta him being late and missing meetings is just him showing fire

 

[tm1119]

Covering up a guy being a bad team player while he is also wildly ineffective on the field is CRAZY…even for the Cowboys.

We might actually be more screwed than I thought as a franchise, and my hopes were already extremely low.

 

[Mr_437]

RJ nailed it, always keep in perspective that this season was over in March. Fans said people were overreacting to the terrible offseason of Jones family vacations and concerts at the Stadium while other teams were signing FAs.

Zeke should've never been a Cowboy again. It's so bad he's checked out on this organization. Think how bad it is for these players.

 

[Risen Star]

It's hard to pick that head up off the pillow for a morning meeting.

 

[fivetwos]

Can't Zeke be suspended for conduct detrimental to the team.
...tardiness and missed meetings...
More cap space for lil Jerry to hoard - 20 and counting baby

fugding idiots

I would think so yes, but I doubt Jerry wants to do that to who he think is his good friend….plus his remaining salary for the season isn’t much.

Jerry will settle for getting a media member fired for questioning him on it.

 

[Gangsta Spanksta]

Maybe he is trying to get to those meetings but is just so slow now...

 

[fivetwos]

Kinda makes the “we are saving him, and we should” comment sound all that more ridiculous….if that were possible.

Poor Zeke is oppressed! He's just trying to feed his family and fight the system! LOL

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

As long as Jerry is the owner, yes.

Well, maybe that's where having a military QB comes in. We need someone who can be a stronger influence on the team than Jerry, but would also know how to play the Jerry game. Thats where a military QB comes in.

That’s why at 29 he’s lost it. He’s too much of a party animal.

 

[Cmac]

I get the feeling that this is the beginning seasonal meltdown

I've been saying Zeke is a result of the problems all season......not the problem. Jerry had no reason to bring him back. For whatever reasons or frustrations........now he has been disclosed as one of the problems. And for whatever reason or frustration, can't defend him any kind of way for this. "You have to be professional even in an unprofessional environment". Thanks Zeke for the early years.......no thanks now. Time to cut bait. This team is unfolding in front of our very eyes. Hard Knocks on the way for next season.

 

[Rayman70]

cut his butt

Yeah,
The Zeke groupies clinging to the strange fantasy of Zeke still being the same as 6 or more years ago are some truly misguided loyalists here.
They will die on that Zeke hill just like all the SleepNumber cult will die on Prescott hill for the same reason.
Those fans want Zeke and Dak so bad to be something they're not, that it effects their ability to see the actual player performance genuinely.
Just severely skewed internal biases altering any actual objectivity.

Some real sad times to put blind faith in these couple of bad players.

But at least Jerry feels the same as the misguided fans though.

And here we are.

He always has been a party animal. He never took care of himself the way Henry has
