All this shows me is you're on the take and another person I've went back and forth with in the past showing their self

I'm on the take? What in the world are you talking about?

I just found it humorous that you led iwth you know how to talk to someone you disagree with and immediately started calling the other a crying child in tears mode who needed to relax.

I love irony.

Why do you like to act like a child.

"I know you are, but what am I?"

That's your response? Why are you even on this forum? It's obviously not to have conversations with fellow fans.

You love the irony but aren't wise enough to know most of that stuff was a shot at stuff he said to me? Ok buddy.

That Cards defense is pretty similar to Denver's. Strong against the run, but with a good pass rusher and secondary.

But with no David Johnson and an old Palmer and Fitz...that offense is fairly anemic.

Why are you on this forum? It's to have convos for me. Some agreements some disagreements. Stop extrapolating my back and forth with you and a few others as all I do. If I agreed with you wouldn't ask me if am I here just to co sign other posters. People take things too seriously sheesh.

Everybody has been waiting for dak and zeke to lose.

Dallas losing and then creating side stories out of it drives ratings and makes money. Its nothing new.

On local radio this morning George dunham said zeke should be sat down and suspended because its best for him.

all because he didn't chase a guy 30 yards away on an int. I would like to see him hustle more on that play but the fact that this is this issue being created after a Dallas loss is funny.

Notice how nobody talks at all about GB getting blown out in Atlanta the team they couldn't beat to get to the superbowl after spending a lot of draft resources on their defense for that specific reason.

Ticket guys don't like Zeke. Hardline flat out called him a ***** live on air on Monday. It's because he's very difficult will the local media.

Theyll kiss his *** if he goes for 150 and 3 TDs this week.

Take the 3-0 win and be happy about it!

See, that's where some of you are missing the bigger point. It's not one play. That play is just the most noticeable and recognizable instance where Elliott showed a lack of maturity. According to some in the media, he was also pouting/indifferent on the sidelines which raised some questions. Now throw in the fact that he has had way too many off the field issues in the course of a year or two. And now allegations that he might be a bit out of shape.

That's not a pretty picture for a guy that basically is one of the players the entire franchise is banking their success on.

I don't know about a team suspension as that seems like overkill, but clearly Elliott needs to have a strong message driven home to him and quickly.

To put it into perspective, lets just imagine for a minute that instead of Zeke acting like that and all these problems, it was Dak. How concerned would everyone be? It would be horrible. For the leader of our team be having all these issues. But because Zeke is "just some dumb RB" he should get a pass? Not when you are the 4th in the draft. That is where franchise players are taken. And they need to not only PLAY like it, but act like it.

You miss the point. None of this thread was about his statistics in the Denver game. Nothing to do with it.

And going for 150 yards and 3 TD's wont change his immaturity, lack of leadership, and off the field problems brewing and the possibility of bigger suspensions in the future.

What off the field problems are brewing? Brewing insinuates some stuff is about to happen and go down so enlighten us on just what this is.

Who cares if he is a leader or not. That's not his job and you can't force it on him. He was not a leader at Ohio St so why do you expect that here? Your leaders on the team are Witten, Lee, Dez and Dak in the making. 3/5 of the OL as well. We don't need Zeke to be a leader.

Like everything else in the past with him, people jump on some narrative and try to blow it out of proportion. I'm sure you probably took the word of some Twitter randoms saying he punched the guy out at the club.

I understand the point, but the majority of issues happened before he even played a down for the Cowboys. The pressure on him rigjt now from the courts to public perception is enough to get anyone down, much less a young spoiled player. Let's just let him grow up. If he doesn't, he won't be the first. In the meantime, let him play and get what we can out if him. Chew him up and spit him out. That's the way of professional sports.

It's Wednesday, lets move on to the Cardinals. He pouted while the team was getting spanked. OK, I get it. He had off the field issues when we drafted him. We still drafted him. Why, cause he can play football. Let's let him play football.

Yep. That's about it.

mldardy · Sep 20, 2017

Can people leave this man alone. I mean I know he's undergoing suspension/investigation but man how much can you discuss about one football player. Everything this guy does is under a microscope more than any athlete I've seen in a while. People need to remember that Zeke is a human being first. Constantly discussing everything about this guy can do damage to a person. I'm not saying Zeke is going to go OJ or something but the media needs to chill on this guy. We know he's not perfect but discussing everything that is going on with him is way overdoing it.

And Dan Lebatard sucks, his show sucks, he thinks he's funny and entertaining and he's not.

Nope your logic might fly for others but not for me. I wouldn't care if it was Prescott that stuff doesn't really bother me. If you actually had a chance maybe but false hustle just to make some people feel better nah.
