Dak/Zeke Dynamic is Trashed

[mmohican29]

I think Elliott has flushed the chemistry the two have right down the toilet.

Elliott's holdout is an insult to Prescott's leadership role on the team. Elliott is banking on his friend's failure to win games without him in the backfield.

If Dak fails and Zeke is paid, Dak's contract suffers as a result.

There's no other way to look at it. If I'm Dak and Elliott does not return by wk 1 and the Cowboys get off to a hot start without him- I demand him dealt before I ink my extension.

Everyone here should be prepared for this probable outcome should Zeke not report before the NYG game.

Personally, I think we've seen Elliott play his last game at a Cowboy. I'd say "sadly", because he is a HOF talent, but I'm already over it.

Zeke will not holdout into the season. He has too much money to lose.

If he does holdout then so be it.

Exactly right.

Not sure how Zeke holding out has anything to do with Dak's leadership. Zeke just want's to get paid.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Dak is not going to hold this against Zeke because he wants his money too. Football players think differently than fans.

 

[NumOneQB]

4years of playing together has helped build a lot of chemistry between them. Training camp holdout won’t impact that one bit.

 

[glimmerman]

I think the hold out in year 3 is not cool and the FO has to be careful that if they cave or appear to that other talent will consider doing it also. What happens in year 3 of LVE contract. He will put play his rookie deal. It’s the FO option to extend in year 3, not the other way around. I am sure a player can request it but to hold out is not acceptable to me. Never heard of another player doing this in year 3. Elliot maybe a special player but not like that.

Not certain how people can make statements as fact about the minds of people they don't know intimately.

How dare Zeke look out for his interest and not sacrifice his career and monies for Dak.

HOW Dare you insult the monster arm of Dak Lemon Prescott!!!!!

LOL...now back to planet Earth ......yes we've landed and have the following to say.....

The only reason Dak even has the Job is ZEKE!
Feeding like a leach off of your talented team mates will only take you so far.
Talent gets PAID and so far I don't see Dak's new zillion $ deal and it won't surprise me that we will kick-off with only Zeke and Coop having there new deals.
Stay tuned!!

P.S. Zeke how dare you LOL.....

As the World Turns soap opera in Dallas. Dak knows it is a business and Zeke is just trying to get paid what he thinks he deserves. If Zeke holds out into the season and forfeit game checks than that is his choice. Choices and consequences are life.

so you talked to dak, know the inner working on his thought process? id SAY NO , just wild guess but stop the madness that has fans guessing and commenting the players thought process. im public interviews Dak is supporting Zeke, lkets stick with what hes stated..they are friends and he supports him..that was in an interview..all we can go on..

When you speak in absolutes like this, you really look foolish.
This is what happens when someone is a veeeery laaaazy thinker.

Emmitts hold out didn’t bother Troy or affect their chemistry.
Players know it’s a business.
Zeke can’t afford to miss games and hold out. He is stuck if Jerry plays hardball.
Zeke needs to accrue one more season before he can really demand a bigger new contract.
Sitting this year and he’s in the same situation next year still needing one more year.
If both Zeke and Jerry play hardball, Zeke loses in one of many ways, but Zeke loses every time.
If Zeke holds out, Jerry doesn’t budge, Zeke sits a year and we do it again with Zeke having zero more leverage, actually less bc now he’s infuriated everyone and not played in a year.
Zekes only hope is to play on Jerry’s good graces, which I think he is testing.
No one thinks Zeke is as indispensable to our team more than I do, but no way I’m paying him as much as he wants without getting some serious concessions in return. I’d make the contract no more than five years with very little dead money at the end so cutting him if his shelf life expires in four...we move on without cost.
My prediction is that Zeke signs and plays week 1, he will only lose big otherwise.
Once he’s taking handoffs, he and Dak will be fine.

Thanks, glad to know that you’ve saved us all the trouble of making up our own minds.

More about the RB position and the perils that come with that than him wanting to be paid off his talents

Perhaps there is no other way for YOU to look at it. I doubt Dak views it this way. This is the business part of pro sports that most athletes understand and support each other.

Yeah, it sure flushed the chemistry between Aikman and Emmitt down the toilet. Imagine how much more they could have accomplished in the 1993 season if Emmitt hadn’t held out. Wining the Super Bowl was only the tip of the ice berg.

1. Dak n Zeke talk daily (per Dak), so I think their relationship is very good.

2. Zeke's holdout is independent of Dak in every way from their standpoint. Stephen Jones may see a link cause he has to pay, but that's not the players problem.

3. Dak n Zeke have 3 years and part of this offseason working together...their chemistry is fine.

So you say Zeke is a HOF talent, but you want to trade...interesting stance. Sounds like your emotional and all over the place...just relax and enjoy the preseason game cause the business side of football seems to be getting the best of you.

Maybe the next CBA should change the duration of the position instead of a 4 year deal. Then after the 2 or 3 year rookie deal no team will be wanting to sign them because they will be wanting 14-15 a year. To expensive.

Go ahead, keep on with your daily gibberish rants!!!!
