Zeke on Twitter "Put some respect on my name"

My spelchek is broken.

Don’t lecture me on intelligence when I post stats that directly contradict what you say but you refuse to believe them, or even read them, because I posted them.

So you’re either actually reading them and are in denial or you are purposely uninformed and look ridiculous with some of your statements that are 100% contradicted or wrong based on stats.

a monkey can be taught to post stats. it's real opinions that matter to me. stats are like polls. they'll show what you want them to show. porcelain throne material. and trust me on this. i do not read them. not likely anything you read would interest me.

OMG, it’s terrible.... it’s hard to dispute facts so, Cabo gets brought up.

Which facts are those?

All of Elliotts "yards?"

They have added up to what for the team?

He's right, you see the same nonsense on this board.

Bwahahahahaha....ok, the only stats that matter are total yards right.

I honestly expected more from you. As much as you preach intelligence you come back with opinions matter more than stats when talking about which RB’s are better than others.

Sounds like you’re finally admitting you were wrong and that’s ok, it’s more admirable than trying to argue a losing battle.

Yet many players over the years have taken that risk, got paid and didn't lose respect from the fan base. Where was Zeke? Cabo. My main point is don't cry about respect by claiming you missed training camp and then demand respect after you're not the same player.

Well if that's your point then it's well-taken. That's the only thing I can fault him for bringing up because it was his choice to miss camp, yes. But it was also necessary for the risks I mentioned. But let's be real here. Even if he was in camp and then became the highest paid running back ever, people would still fault him for "asking out of turn" like they did. Heck, look at Dak. He was held up as the poster boy for how you do things when the Zeke drama was going on and now he's hated as well for "doing things the right way." Even well before the franchise tag deadline, mind you. You can't win if you're a player so you do things on your own terms and ignore fans. Agree about the whining. I think it's far better for players to ignore fans and the media completely and get "respect" from the butler at your mansion. It does show that he cares about his performance even after getting paid so there's that.

You don't have to respect him as a person bro...but what hes done on the field consistently since hes been in the league deserves respect. Theres nothing hes going to be able to do ,you guys will still not respect him

Hes a top 3 RB in this league, why does it matter to you what anyone here says?

Anyone who cant see he is in decline doesnt know what they are looking at.

Sure he is still effective, I could just do without his off the field nonsense. Theres thousands of players in the league that manage to not have that.

Also anyone who thinks he is a team first guy is very wrong, but fantasy football makes people hold individual stats in higher regard than they ought to be.

I dont like him personally, and I dont want a RB eating 15m of cap space.

He hasnt exactly had even ONE season (like Henry) where he has pretty much put the team on his back into late January.

It's all about team success and there are people that simply dont feel that way. Unfortunately some of them are on the team itself.

Wins more specifically, the team can barely wins if he doesn’t get enough touches to stabilize the offense.

That's cool.

Zeke is top 3.

OL is top 3.

Dak is what? Top 10?

This is top that, and that is top this....

How does that equate to winning in January?

It doesnt and hasnt.

Both Prescott and Elliott ought to be embarrassed about what this team hasnt accomplished, but it seems to be much more about them individually.

Behaving like an idiot and getting a warning, then doing it again and getting himself suspended, and claiming not to understand why.

Holding out of camp demanding to be paid two years earlier than his union collectively bargained, then showing up out of game shape and tapping out far too often.

Now he complains that he isnt given "respect" and citing his stats, when the team has accomplished nothing beyond underachieving in the last five seasons.

Other than all that and the ten pound ankle weights he apparently now insists on wearing, he is awesome.

I thank him for providing that "entertainment."

What part of it isnt true?

If the league for some reason started completely over and had a straight draft of everyone, some of these dudes would be quite shocked at how low they would actually be selected...and if you took contracts into account, Ezekiel Elliott would last a very long time.

LOL....you could say that about 90% of the players....and yet it took Zeke for you to mention it. You're a hindsight kinda guy, I see. And a zeke hater. Hmmm.

i think most of our losses were attributable to playing against teams whose coaches were able to out coach ours. coaches who could adjust to what we were doing with regular predictability. now that the problem has been culled from our ranks, i would expect everything to get better. on both sides of the ball and on special teams as well.

cern said:

if you're going to reinvent yourself, do it intelligently. the deliberately misspelled words was cute the first time. i even gave you a like for having to at least think, if even for a planck time duration. but it's really not cute anymore. good luck with ccwb.

I was going to reply with corrections....but I reminded myself he's a troll. I'd never seen him do it on purpose before. Dang...he whack.

Over paid still employed hold out is ACTUALLY blowing off about his self perceived superlative season he'd churned out/ turned in ,,, WITHOUT ,,, having had to of put his royal azz out in the grass with the rest of "The TEAM" for training camp ?( I might be viewed in disfavor around here for putting this in print, but it's pretty G.D. obvious to me, there's a definite delusional disconnect in somebody's professional hardwiring inspection cover plate schematics)

I can't for the life of me figure out why we're bickering over our own players. I get some contract concerns....but there's nothing *we* can do about that. Under performing? Straight up personal hate?

We spent the last five years beeching about how terrible Garrett was....how he ruined players and games and...the Cowboys. And here we sit doing <this>. Baffling.

We should give all the players a clean slate...even the ones "we" hate. Shouldn't a better coach illicit better results? From everyone? Let's give it a chance.

But then we have our resident trolls. Oh well.

Has a more unlikeable group of Cowboys ever been assembled? Pls somebody take me back....

Its a very sad era of the game, its just money ball now, all about maximum payout, and agents that arent negotiating, just demanding.
There was a day, and you illustrated that, where there were gladiators of the gridiron, that played this game to achieve greatness.
I dont believe there are that many true gladiators left.
The NFL, as massive as it may seem, may be the closest microcosm of society, and how it reflects on everything going on in todays world.
Nobody wakes up anymore with the mindset of strapping on their boots and going to work, knowing that they have to do this for 30 years in order to make a living and and someday retire.
Everybody wants a get rich in a few years gig,,
Our grandfathers were the true gladiators, for most of us considering your age.. but I digress.
If your even mentioned as a franchise type player in todays NFL, they have the agents that push past the median, regardless of how it affects their team mates ability at a lesser position of leverage to earn a payday.
Certain players like Dak could care less about their peers contract,, thats what has been very transparent in this entire Dak get payed fiasco.
Dak and France,, they can both suffer hopefully.

good to hear from you again, master of musings.
