Wentz has the best leadership in the entire NFL outside of Brady. When Brady retires, Wentz will be #1 in that regard.

When it comes to leadership qualities, Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Russell Wilson, and Dak Prescott rank ahead of Wentz. Just my opinion.

Andrew Luck, too, if he didn't retire.

Dak said that he was so happy for Zeke to return from his suspension, not only because he is a good player but he is also his best friend. That was a year and a half ago. Don't know if they are still best friends but Faulk sure isn't helping. Zeke would do well to dump Faulk.

The team doesn't need Zeke's newest best buddy ripping Cowboy players right now. If it comes down to keeping Dak or Zeke, only one of the two, Zeke will be gone ASAP.

O.K.,,, this is obviously some half-cooked crackheaded counteroffensive coming straight outta' Cabo ,merely in a lame attempt in swaying the justification for this ridiculous contract demand from Camp Elliott of self imposed exile, by zeek, in sending out his yapping (paid) lap dog ,in an attempt to discredit the exorbitant predicted monetary amount that the #4 is wanting ( Dak's on that record, saying he's wanting to be right up there with that Cabo clown show ,money-wise, as well)

The point that needs to be considered here is that Zeke, Faulk and Dickerson are all represented by the same agent. This is a concerted effort, on behalf of the agent to have Faulk draw fire for a comment that he wants out there but doesn't want to come from, either Zeke or himself. So what does he do? He has Faulk say it. He wants to make the point that Dak doesn't deserve the money so pay Zeke because he deserves it. See, this is why you can't side with the players because in contract deals, just like this, they drive too many things that are harmful to the team. Both parties can say that it's all good once everybody is in camp and play nice but I'm telling you, this ain't something that you forget if you are a player. This will not be good long term IMO.

I'll give you Brady, Brees and Luck, but Luck isn't in the league anymore.

Russell Wilson is one of football's best leaders. Everybody knows that. Not sure why you think that's funny.

And Dak has had the "alpha dog" leadership in him since he was a kid. In college he had a talent-deprived Mississippi State team ranked number one in the country for a while. Everybody that's been around him comments Dak has that "it" quality.

I'm sure Wentz has that, too, but it's not like I put Jameis Winston or Kirk Cousins on this list. Sheesh.

that just opened up that giant can of worms for me. I have great instincts I grew up on the streets. Something just tells me Elliott wants to say screw you somebody in the Cowboys organization franchise

No it ain't( gonna' be good long term) , as it immediately poisoned that wellspring of unit cohesiveness with that statement, thusly, was my properly & aptly labeled " half-cooked crack headed counteroffensive coming straight outta' Cabo",,,

I agree with you. But I am a Dak fan and I know he's not worth top five QB money. Zeke can realistically claim to be football's best back. Not saying he is or he isn't, but he's got an argument.

I would agree with this but to me, this is really more about the agents then the players IMO. I mean, I just don't see Dak asking Jerry for 40 mil, on his own. Just like I don't see Zeke coming up with the idea to say that Dak is a bum. This, to me, is all about the agents. I mean, should Dak be smart enough to understand that he can't expect to get 40 mil and keep all the pieces around him that are necessary to try and give you the best chance to win a Championship? Yes, of course he should. It would be stupid not to but he's apparently not seeing it. He's probably listening to his agent saying, "The cap is going up this amount and it's going to be easy for the team to pay you. They just don't want to spend the money. Blah.... Blah... Blah..." On the other side, you got Zeke's agent trying to do anything and everything to prevent Jerry from getting anywhere near Zeke. Why do you think he's doing that? Why do you think Jerry and the team are doing this negotiation in public? It's because he knows that Jerry has more relationship with Zeke, then does he. Jerry understands this too, which is why he is probably trying to send messages using the media because he can't be sure what Zeke is hearing or what info he is receiving. Jerry knows that if he can get Zeke in front of him, a deal can be struck. He knows that he can tell Zeke that if he is patient, he will get his record deal but the agent doesn't want to hear that. In both cases, we are essentially dealing with kids who are trusting agents and is anybody really surprised that we are where we are with this whole thing?

The Zone had a some kinda' members poll on who'd be most likely left sucking hind tit outta' the big "3",,, & Camp Elliott ended up riding drag

It's so obvious but yet so disguised in people's minds. Thank you for explaining it with more clarity then I could

You are too generous but thank you. Truth is, a lot of what I wrote there is conjecture. I mean, I think it's pretty close to dead on but I have no real proof.
