Zeke has to be my least favorite Cowboy of all time

Yes but Zeke demanded it by holding out. You want to hold out for elite money? Then play like an elite player. Elliott has not done that. Arguably the most overrated and overpaid player on the Cowboys right now.
Blame the stupid owner for that


How can you fault anyone for wanting to get paid? Especially the way owners/gms treat these players in terms of getting rid of them.

Jaylon does nothing good on the field, has 0 self-awareness, and makes business decisons on the field.

Its not even close

I can fault a player for threatening not to show up if he doesn't get paid and then once he gets paid, he reverts into just an decent player.

Jerry was a dumby for paying him, no question. But if you think you are important and elite enough to hold out to be the highest paid player at your position, you can't then just be a decent player. Plus Smith's contract is more manageable. Elliott's is more cost prohibitive to try to move on from him.

My lord some are as blind as Helen Keller.

Not a fan of Zeke, nor his contract, he never should've been paid. BUT. He has no help out there, that O-line is horrible. He was never the main point of the offense, That was and is DAK.

DLAW? you serious? He's a problem? Good grief, ignorance at it's finest.

You know what? Forget it. I don't have the time, patience or care to explain this to clueless fans.
YOu weren't listeneing when the announcers called him out for running to the wrong "holes" then instead of the way the play was designed. They showed daylight where it was designed and a brick wall where he chose to go. So what was that about Helen Keller?

Zeke just doesn't have the burst he used to have and its gotta be mileage on that body. He takes some monster shots. Emmitt lasted forever because he didn't absorb very much punishment. Zeke will never play out his contract here. Just isn't happening. PS. He no longer has the ability to make folks miss and they know it.

Zeke is the perfect reflection of the Arkansas plunger who drafted him, then paid him 2 years early as the highest paid RB in the league: alcohol, poor decisions, and low standards.
Jerry is the worst gambler I've ever seen. I'd love to see that plunger lose his bankroll at a crap table playing like that. Except - he just did - it just wasn't on a craps table.:lmao:
