Hennessy, your a good dude. Anyone who can make a career out of sales,no matter what your sellin, has to have some intestinal fortitude and smarts. Unless someone has done it, they dunno what I mean. Its an art most definitely.

If my boss was loyal to me he would pay me right? And show me my value to the company not in words but in compensation. He can't leave. The team picked up his 5th year option. So he would have to play 2 years. Then they could franchise him for the 3rd season. Then as a rb will hit the open market at 27 years old. How's that market for a 27 year old rb that's had trouble off the field. And god forbid he has any injuries in those previous 3 seasons that will effect his value as well.

my answer is, just win. Winning goes along way to masking those things. He will be rewarded by JJ HUGE. I think its a good debate to have.

It could go both ways absolutely he could set records all over the place and be paid very handsomely at 27. But there is the downside and financial risk in things not in your control. You are saying just win but there are 21 other starters on the team who he can't control. A coaching staff that well sucks. And Injuries that can just happen. He is just trying to control what he can control.

No question about that. It's really more like living in Mexico (a nicer area of Mexico) than Texas here.
The population is over 82% Hispanic.
I really like it though. Different strokes for different folks, you know?

The ACL tear in October was the other knee.



Nope. There is no "guarantee" of anything regarding any player's health. Just like there is no "guarantee" he would get injured.



They're certainly a concern, as they should be. And I'm nit advocating putting all of our eggs in his basket. But Super Bowl winning teams have shown that committee running backs work, and Ajayi himself has specifically shown that.

Ajayi was cleared by Dr. James Andrews who is one of the leading experts on knees so that would be a reason to be optimistic. He is from Frisco, Texas and we know how Dallas likes players from Boise St. The problem is that we are not sure what Dallas is thinking at this point and how long they feel the holdout will last. Did Dallas sign Morris to be the potential starter if Zeke continues to hold out or was Morris signed to fill a back up role to Zeke because they became concerned about depth at the position. They may feel they needed someone else behind Zeke. Darius Jackson has been off and on rosters and never really proved he could be a viable option. Tony Pollard looks more like a situational RB. Mike Weber was a 7th round pick and wasn't even a starter in college. Ajayi may have made it known that he has no interest in being a back up to Zeke. There is just so much that we don't know about the Zeke contract situation and the Cowboys' feelings on what they need for RB depth.

Very good points all.

I'm just stating what I would have done and what I wish the team did.

Those two tweets are horrifying!

:omg:

It's not bad enough that they bring back Morris strictly due to familiarity, but the fact that there was even talk of Dunbar is flat out embarrassing!
