Didn't miss one game......Emmitt missed 2 games (losses)….and not once did he get hammered by his teammates.

Emmitt's holdout came right after a super bowl championship. And after he got his new contract they won another super bowl with Emmitt named the super bowl MVP, and he went on to become the all time NFL rushing leader. What has Zeke accomplished since his holdout? Emmitt went out and proved that Jerry made the right decision and continued down a path to greatness. Zeke has morphed into a lazy, out of shape doosh.

So tell us, who really earned their big pay day, Zeke or Emmitt? Its a terrible idea to try and compare Zeke's and Emmitt's holdouts.

I'd ask.....what is around Zeke to help with playoffs and Super Bowls....or, are you placing all that on Zeke, and if so.....he should have got his money, then. What would you have said if Cowboys had missed the playoffs by 2 games because of Emmitt's holdout? Hindsight.

Not to mention Emmitt didn't holdout while having an actual deal in 93. They only owned his rights. Zeke had 2 years left on his deal.

"There's a distinct difference between what they're doing and what I've done."


The difference is that Smith was unsigned when he missed the first two games of the 1993 season for the Cowboys. Elliott has two years left on his contract. Gordon has one.


"Go do your research, go do your study," Smith said. "You'll find that Emmitt Smith was never a holdout, although the propaganda would say I was a holdout. The reality of the fact is my contract was fully fulfilled. Fully fulfilled! And I was negotiating. I wasn't holding out. I was negotiating.


"When you don't have a contract and you're unemployed, all you can do is negotiate. So why are you going to label me a holdout?"

Haters will hate no matter what, it is evidence on here everyday. Nothing will change their mind, it is the way they are in life. Especially their every post shows that.

Did not read the article. Can’t stand the player both on and off the field.

Well, maybe he can win the award and increase his trade value. Win-win.

Low key fade. Fumble. Low key fade. Fumble. ...
