I Was A Big Zeke Supporter, But This Flying Back To Cabo Is Last Straw. Trade Him

[JohnnyTheFox]

Pretty much agree with the OP, am growing tired of his drama. Cant imagine this is endearing himself to the players in the locker room who have been sweating their tails off.

I've only found one source for this rumor that Zeke headed back to Cabo. The twitter accounts I follow, including 1 that is Cowboy specific, have not reported it. Are there other sources reporting this?

not fair LOL you are missing the point even though EE is better then zeke he will only make half what dak does and he will except no less meaning take 15 and still making less..he deserves the dang 15 and the only one on this team thats up for contract that has the skins.. get over your self ..Tell Dake take 25 and Amari 15 because really that who they are, thats what they have earned and no more but they will get more.. you are asking an Elite player to not get all he can and 15 is basically the target and still be 4th on the team in salary..that common sense Zeke earned 4 years 15 per 3 years guaranteed and can perform to its level, somehow you are trying to convince me dak will get 34 and earn any of it? no hes 25milper year player as it stands and Amari outside the top10 in WRs should get 15-16 hes that player if he FEELS he should get big top 5 WR money those 2 are the ones holding the FO up not Zeke..yes he held out to get his but Amari not taking 17 and Dak not accepting 30 thats the real issue here..

thats my view and YOU won't change that..Ill take Zeke over Dak and Amari anyday as GM picking a team.I an others have said we an keep this together if Dak would simply take 30 Aamri 17 and zeke gets his 15, lets make run..

its Dak and Amaris contracts that will sink this team down the road because neither have showed they are anywhere close to those type of players..i give two spits about the so called market..you see Jimmy G last night thats what happens when you overpay players who havent earmed it..sure he will get better but when hes bilking SanFRan why hes done squat.. but hose contracts are whats creating the market and need to back peddle..earn your money by your play not your positions..thats COMMON SENSE..

Can you re type that and break it down into coherent paragraphs and sentences?

You bring up Jimmy G, ever hear of Gurley? The people who support Zeke often bring up how injury prone RB’s are so he should get more to secure his future (as if 25 mil isn’t enough) but those people also talk about how durable Zeke is which is it? I lean towards RB’s being injury prone and just because Zeke hasn’t had an injury yet doesn’t mean it couldn’t happen during the first snap he plays. I do understand Gurleys situation was different but I bet they are regretting paying him that much now.

Whether Zeke likes it or not, RB is one of the mist expendable positions there is, QB (even mediocre) isn’t. The O line is much more important to this team than Zeke, he wouldn’t have the success he’s had without them and therefore wouldn’t have ANY leverage (if he even has any) to want to be paid as the highest RB.

Why is it every other team but one has won the SB in the past 20 years without the leagues leading rusher yet we allegedly can’t even make the playoffs or win games without Zeke? Why is it that when Moore was allegedly given a little more input towards the end of last season, one of our best games offensively was against the Giants and we didn’t play our starters for half the game?

Part of the problem with Linehans offense was being too reliant on the run and Zeke. Now people like you think we can’t win without him.

Lol. This dude doesn't have half the talent Zeke has. Wow, he makes some plays against backup guys running vanilla defensive schemes. Neat-o.

Yet if Zeke made those some plays against those same players, people would be saying “that’s why we need Zeke”.

<clears throat> garrett ..

 

[JohnsKey19]

I'm neutral on the subject. But like someone mentioned in a different thread, fans just need try to ignore the rhetoric that comes out during these tense contract "disputes".

We wouldn’t need the leagues leading rusher if we had a top QB or defense.

Few teams have won a SB this era without an Elite QB and or defense. We have neither .

So we need some Elite talent . Having the leagues leading rusher certainly enhances our team and chances without other Elite pieces.

LOL. They love money too so they understand and probably want him to win. People need to stop assuming players are like average joes processing widgets at a plant. These guys swim in millions and as much as they want it for themselves, they're genuinely happy when someone else gets it too because they all start out with that dream at the outset.

Who the heck needs sources? The emotion train is rollin'. Don't get in the way, just watch it whiz past.

 

[408Cowboy]

They already offered him Gurley money and he said no...………….he is demanding to be the highest paid RB in the history of the NFL and unless we meet his demands, he is going to move to Cabo?

And I shall also point out that Zeke is the first player to hold out after just three seasons in the league...……..nobody has ever done this before.

I thought they offered top 5? Isn't Gurley 1st?

Yeah, and where is that cap space going to be tied up when Jaylon, LVE and the rest need to be signed? On a nutcase RB that can be replaced by someone not as talented but serviceable? A good LB’er especially when this young, is much harder to find then a RB and will pay off much more in the long run IMO.

Guarantee Pollard would have ran better in the playoffs against the Rams than Zeke did. Zeke is already wearing down. Give me the quicker, faster and fresh legs over the slower, run down and older legs any day. Plus, cheaper.

I was thinking about that this morning. Contrast Zeke in the Rams game with Emmitt in Jimmy's second Super Bowl win. Aikman got his bell rung in the conference championship and wasn't all there and probably would've been in concussion protocol in today's NFL so they leaned on Emmitt and he delivered.

Are you suggesting we should focus on the other scenario of building an Elite defense ?

Perhaps that should be our focus without an Elite QB?

Dallas has 8 pro-bowlers, most in the NFL .
That's the same song I've heard since Garrett was interim HC 10 years ago . Those are just excuses for a putrid HC .

 

[Diehardblues]

Basically a recipe for success this era is being great on one side of the ball and at least average to above average on the other side.

But that’s without an Elite QB or defense.

We basically have 3 great OL, RB, WR, 1 DE and 1CB. Our QB was a substitute Pro Bowler. 6th choice after others stayed away. lol

ever? Nah get your fats straight..im better more have and I believe they extended Gurley with-out hesitation after year 3??He didnt need too..

our own Emmitt smith did it his rookie season didnt sign his first deal, Ie hold out again after 3 years better do your research and this will happen again..he wouldn't have had to holdout if they game him more when he asked..The rumor is he let the FO know he was thinking of holding out and gave them his number in January..that was before the draft and why do you think they took Pollard and webber, as just in case..they knew it could happen.. so, read Rumor's in public hey SJ stated we should start Zekes negotiation at Gurley money, that hasn't happened..

 

[Diehardblues]

Let’s assume Garrett suks. Now what should we surround him with. Maybe an Elite QB or defense?

The only articles I find on Google is from the same article. You would think there would be a lot of different stories about it.

Yes, let him play for the MFL, the Mexican Football League. (Does it exist?) Sick of his crap.
