The Cowboys Need Elliott More Than Elliott Needs the Cowboys

[Irvin88_4life]

We're definitely a better team with Zeke. But enough is enough.

This team is GOOD. Lightning fast and deep on D. Great Front 7. Excellent OL.

I'll take my chances of losing Zeke it means LVE, Jones, Cooper, Collins can all return.

You know... the players that look like they want to be Cowboys.

Don't get me wrong, I have debated it over and over that Zeke is replaceable.

 

[Maverick84]

LOL... Zeke would be working at Burger King if it weren’t for the Cowboys.

nah he'd be holding out for a couple dollars more per hour

 

[ABQCOWBOY]

I'm ready to play football, regardless of who is on the field.

 

[Maverick84]

I'm done with Zeke, don't care if he ever puts the helmet on again

it's about where I'm at

I mean don't get me wrong, I'll be cheering as loud as anybody else when he scores TD's on gameday, but I've never been able to stand that brainless manchild mama's boy mouthbreathing ****ing ewok.

LMAO. He's NOT AN AUTHOR. He's some shumck who posted an article whose obviously a New England fan downing Dak and the Cowboys. If you were smart enough to click on the writers name of an article you wouldn't fall for such nonsense. Don't worry about my life and perspectives, it's yours you need to worry about after falling for a haters article. No need to reply. As @cowboy_ron would say.... "you can't fix stupid", nor arrogance.
Ignore Ignited!

I didn't "fall" for anything. I shared an article that expressed a different point of view. Some of us aren't afraid of such things.

But I hope you're serious about ignoring me. That'll mean this is the last response I'll ever get from you.

Trash article.

No one player determines the fate of a football team, and the Cowboys are loaded with young talent.

I'm ready to move forward without Zeke if need be. Every year he does something to potentially derail the season.

Give me a good football player who puts the team first at RB1 and I think we will be just fine.

 

[TheGoat73]

That's the title of the article - don't @ me.

The Cowboys need Elliott more than he needs the franchise, and he is good enough to warrant a big contract, even bigger than Gurley’s. Dallas relies on Elliott to make their offense run the way they want it to...The Cowboys have neither an offensive genius on the headset or a generational talent at quarterback.

Dallas loses the crux of their offensive system and any hopes of championship contention in what will be their last year of financial flexibility before the bill comes for all the young talent they’ve accumulated. They may have the contractual leverage, but as far as the football goes, they need Elliott. And he knows that.

It's an interesting take. I think the Cowboys and Zeke need each other. Pollard has looked good, but is Jerry ready to roll those dice this season given other contracts coming soon and his desire for another trophy?

Respectfully, and emphatically, disagree.

How do you figure that?

 

[Old'Boyfan]

If I understand correctly that Dallas has made 2 offers, the latest making Zeke the 2nd highest paid RB in the league, and Zeke has turned it down then maybe it's time to stop negotiating. Unless Zeke's agent makes a reasonable counter offer I'd cut off negotiations, no more offers. If no counter offer at all I'd take the 'Boys latest offer off the table too.
Next year brings free agency, the draft, and trade possibilities. There ARE other RB's out there.

 

[Shuff]

BS. They do not!

 

[Big_D]

7 billion dollar team win or lose. I’m sure they’re losing sleep. I wonder who runs out of money first? lol

 

[cheftjpeck]

At this point, I'm imagining what it will be like if Dallas makes Zeke the highest paid RB next week. He'll never meet the fan expectations that will come with it, given how many of them he's ticked off with his holdout. If he pulls a hammy in week one it'll be meltdown time.

I guess he wouldn't care because he got his contract, but this feels like it's not going to work out best for the Cowboys no matter what happens now.

I agree
At this point though I can care less about Zeke ... something’s gotta give

 

[Whirlwin]

Right, because none of the other teams would've drafted him.

This has nothing to do with drafting him. After his suspension most good teams would have been done with him then.

 

[Whirlwin]

yeah... pretty much. I don't know what he was talking about.

You people get stuck on one thing and getting tunnel vision. After a second season you've been working for Burger King. Nothing to do with the initial draft that was never talked about. Open up your minds

lol. You’re just wrong man. It happens

What happens? I'm not wrong. This has nothing to do with his drafting position whether they would have drafted him or not and that was the question . That was the point that that poster was trying to make. But people couldn't understand it that tunnel-visioned

When you post opinions on the internet, you will inevitably have a poor opinion.

remove drafting then and 32 teams would welcome Zeke back from the suspension.

the bk part is ridiculous, but not getting hung up on that, every team would have signed him if available

 

[4lifecowboy]

Zeke overestimates his value, any above average back can produce behind this line. Murray wasn't special and he thrived.

 

[Bullflop]

Will Zeke Elliott even be the same RB once he gets so generously paid?

To me, that's a burning question that begs to be answered with proof.

I'm inclined to include escalators in his contract that demand excellence!

 

[MRV52]

How many times have we seen this, after a player gets a bank role he is never the same person?
