Yep, there goes his credibility!! I'm starting to think it's all part of a diabolical scheme to confuse us more than we already are. :confused:
They say that the real persona of Jason Garrett is totally different than what he displays.

I agree. I have known this since he stabbed Wade Phillips in the back.

So the idea that he would be nothing but a grinning politician is not at all surprising to me.

I can see both sides here. Yes Zeke signed a contract out of the draft. However the Cowboys are riding him too hard and he is going to have a significantly shorter career because of it. He is trying to get his money before the carries per game catches up with him.

Zeke didn't break long runs at an elite level. He didn't force missed tackles at an elite level. He didn't catch the ball down field at an elite level.

What makes him elite? A great OL and huge volume?

He had 77 catches last season.

2000+ yards from scrimmage.

5+ yards per touch.

Spoiled fans complain too much.

Wade had no problems screwing up. Garrett didn't help him with that.

What's the worst thing that's going to happen if we don't pay Zeke? Zeke is not the only running back that can run behind this offensive line.

We can start 0-2.

Just like we did back in 1993.

See Emmitt.

The fans like this guy just identify themselves as not knowing what the hell they’re talking about. It’s all good for the rest of us to know.

I'll admit, I'm wondering if he majored in extreme sneakiness when he attended Princeton. A wolf in sheep's clothing?! Scary. :eek:

Your ability to remain impervious to any and all facts presented which refute your repeated generalizations is remarkable. :muttley:

I'm on the fence about paying him because of off the field stuff and running backs in general, but to say he's simply a product of "a great OL and huge volume" is nonsense.

What do you know that the rest of us don't?
I know that we need Zeke to make it to the Super Bowl. And it’s more to do with the locker room than his talent on the field. If the Cowboys play hard ball and refuse to extend him, the season is over before it begins. But I full expect the Cowboys and Zeke to agree on an extension. You guys that think otherwise are just delusional and should stick with your Madden games.

Solid observation:starspin:
I honestly don’t know how it doesn’t come up more often. I’m sitting in the mountains right now, enjoying a vacation so I’ll keep it short.

Most great offenses don’t need a top RB. Linehan sucked. Moore can’t be worse. The comparisons of how we did with and without Zeke are ridiculous...did we have Coop when he was suspended? How healthy was Jaylon? What about LVE, where was he?

It’s a different team and a different OC. Typical fans living in the past.

We finally have another elite RB, on the same level as Emmitt and Dorsett, and you don't want him paid?

While he's here, I'm going to support Zeke 100 percent.

If he wants paid, he gets paid.
