Are you a Zeke fan, a Dak fan, or a Cowboys fan?

Blah, blah, blah. Go whine to those who care. So you're for a player being as greedy as possible, even if it hurts the team? Don't know why you're bringing up the owners. They have a business to run, and their #1 goal is to make a profit. It has nothing to do with a team's salary cap and how a team's owner/GM has to manage that cap wisely if they intend on building and keeping a playoff capable team intact. You fail to acknowledge how those players make millions on the side through sponsorships simply for wearing the Star on their helmets, especially if they are a stud key team player. The owners with the approval of the players' union approved to the current CBA agreement which includes the salary cap. Unless you own a business, you truly don't understand nor have a right to be complaining against those "greedy" owners. If the players don't like it, they can go try to make such money $$$$$ elsewhere simply for playing a sport. Good luck with that.

There are a lot of Cowboys fans on this site. There are also a fair # of people that are just fans of themselves. So they like to pick sides, defend things, and be "right". Even if its just trolling because it makes them feel good. IE fans of themselves.

You say “go whine to those who care” then you go on for 6 paragraphs(https://www.google.com/search?q=paragraph&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari) explaining why I’m wrong. Interesting.

You say I’m whining when I simply state the tactic that Zeke used to get more money and why that he’s justified in doing that. Then you predictably go on to cheerlead for the owners. I guessing you’re a business owner or their cheerleader too. Good job.

Either way the labor and the product has the right(from the CBA as you with no sense of irony cite) to negotiate. Again, that’s what he did. That’s whining? Do you see how that makes no sense and is completely stupid of you?

Then you proceed to whine about how hard the owners have it and tell me what right I don’t have. Who are you again? More irony.

What do what the players make on the side from the star that they bring attention to by being the product and labor have to do with anything? Sounds like you are counting their money while accusing them of greed. Even More irony.

I didn’t say anything confrontational in any way to justify your blah blah whining comments. You’re clearly very sensitive and emotional on this subject and I’m sorry to upset your delicate feelings.

There is nothing about being right, but there is plenty of place for calling out things for what they are. Before this year Dak was playing like an average qb, this year he is playing as arguably the best ok you can have top 3. Zeke on this forum has always been overrated, and now with his contract it needs to be stated, he is not the best back in the league, he is running behind the best offensive line in the league, he really doesn't break tackles, sure he can get an extra hard yard.
I love that the statistical analysis breaks it down clearly that Zeke isn't elite, then you also have the zero MVP votes and PFF to back that up. Meanwhile on here you just got the homer fans saying that Zeke is best because he carries the ball the most.

I’m a Cowboys fan above players, coaches, and front office. If I think a player coach or front office person is hurting the team I’ll say so. I also don’t understand why fans want players to get top dollar contracts the more they spend on one player less there is to spend on the team.

There are a lot of die hard Dak supporters on this site, more so than Zeke supporters. Which is understandable given the amount of haters Dak has. I mean, I get it. I understand defending Dak, especially at this point in his career. Dak is balling out and everything is falling into place.

But what I don't understand is the shade getting thrown at Zeke in the process of defending Dak. We shouldn't downplay Zeke's success in defense of Dak's own. Zeke and Dak fans are turning on each other. Whatever happened to being a "Cowboys" fan?

Stats regarding broken tackles, he was 5th in the league last year for yards after contact.

Stats regarding carries/yards. Barry Sanders avg. was 5.0, Emmitt was 4.2, Zeke is at 4.7. Meaning he's doing great. Not sure why some of you people think being a workhorse back is a negative. Not many backs can run as much as Zeke can.

People like this guy is exactly what I'm talking about. Most of his posts consist of rooting for Dak while downplaying Zeke. They're both projected to have their best seasons yet this year, not sure what the problem is?
