If Zeke refuses to show up

TwoDeep3 · Aug 24, 2019

There are some ridiculous positions on Zeke.

"I hope he holds out and they trade him."

Everyone needs to take their medications.

Actually, it shows fans only care about getting what they want and they'll trash any player who refuses to be their trained monkey.

When was the last time you did anything like this?

Ezekiel Elliott to pay for funeral of young football star

That was really nice of him, but that is like me giving someone 5 bucks.

What trolling? You're the one who started trolling with the sarcasm. You asked a question, I gave an honest answer. You're the one trying to make a big deal out of nothing.

But I can still call you "selfish" if you think you deserve a pay raise at work, right?

After all, that's the sweeping generalization you're making about Zeke.

Save it... he has two years left on his deal...

I would feel bad if we franchise tagged him....

Changing the subject isn't a rebuttal. It's an acknowledgment that your initial argument was weak.

Save that.

Honest does not mean "deeply uninformed" as was your post.

Keep trying.

Sorry dude, but your senseless need to argue over nothing is not worth the time or trouble. Get over yourself.
BTW, if you still feel the need to argue, here's a quarter......go call somebody who cares.

Its not actually that crazy. Zeke's wins over replacement is not that high. Pollard was seeing the holes and getting to them as quick as Zeke does. It would save $15 million a year in salary cap and we might get a pick or two from a trade.

Its basically all about resource management. Its not a bad play at this point.

And that's why players shouldn't care what fan thinks. That's why they should do what's best for them.

If he were to sit out until game 10 I wouldn’t want him back, but right now I do. He’s a key part of this team.

I'd love to get a fresh Zeke back at game 11 for the back half of the season, including playoffs. Whatever we did or didn't do without him in the first 10 games, we're better with him for the rest of the way.

Zeke signs before the season. What we're getting bits and pieces of from the media now is the last-ditch attempts by Zeke to get more cash and the last ditch attempts by the Cowboys to save some.

They'll come to an agreement, because I'm almost certain Zeke doesn't want to miss games and the Cowboys don't want him to, either.

By this coming Friday Zeke will become the highest paid HB in the NFL!
Unfortunately as the money is considerable for the HB position we don't have the passing game to compensate for his loss and concerning Pollard way to early even to consider him even being close to Zeke's output.
Jerry will pay cause Jerry HAS to pay!

P.S. Zeke deserves his money and is also aware what Dallas plans would be if Zeke didn't hold-out.....burn and turn baby burn and turn....right Mr. Murray?

This team will know what it is with or without Zeke by weeks 10, and probably before. It won't go past game 6 before someone caves in. It will not get to 8 games. This team does not want to be 3-5 again, and have to rely on another 7-1 run.

Man,,,we done already caved in,,Twice over this prima Donna w/ heavy baggage, first by even putting out a premature re-up contract to begin with, corporate is gonna cave completely to worker spine demands before game #1,,, there's not a shadow of doubt in my mind about it now.

Ignorant comment, that easily applies both ways.

You keep throwing around the salvation army and funeral donation to put him on a pedestal. That’s nice and all but lots of NFL players donate their time and money for good causes. I understand it’s the thought that counts but his donations are the equivalent to most of us throwing a $10 bill at a charity.

His donations don’t negate his negative behavior either but you act like they do and/or minimize that behavior. Am I good guy because I donate part of every pay check to St Judes but bully others on my day off with the occasional unproved physical assault on someone else?

Give up the donations, if that’s the best you can come up with to defend him than that’s weak. What I do find entertaining is that you think it’s so special and it proves what a great guy he is that not only do you bring it up every chance you get but you even feel the need question what others do for charity as if it’s some unheard of concept and YOU PUT IT IN ALL CAPS to try and get even more attention. Laughable!

The only thing the team has left is to fine him the max amount of money permissible. But be warned that probably makes the situation worse so save for last resort

The fines are already accumulating. It is the teams option if they actually want to collect them. The fines come out of the player's next paychecks.

Some teams discuss fines with the media but the Cowboys generally don't.
