In Finance it's called "your propensity to consume"....and that gets many rich people in trouble. They try and live beyond their means and eventually lose everything.

In Murray's case, is it really that much different from 6 mil to 8 mil in the grand scheme of things?

Money cannot buy happiness and I think Murray is going to find that out.

Think about it...lol. If Williams wins a SB with the Cowboys making peanuts compared to what Murray makes...who will have more happiness?

Fantastic post!!!

It wasn't a hard choice to make... Go with another team with a crappy line or a ok QB.. Or wait for Murray to leave run behind this line and Romo, Dez.. Get about 1500 yards then get really paid...

Summary: Daniel Day-Lewis plays the role of Rowdy, a Cowboys fan
frustrated by his team's Super Bowl drought and meaningless news articles. Rowdy is miserable until the day he meets Dr. Who, whom he immediately bludgeons to death with a bowling pin, steals Dr. Who's TARDIS, and proceeds to redo every Dallas free agent and draft signing over the past 20 years. This movie is rated
R for gory scenes involving cornerback massacres.

Maybe you should just leave compassion and empathy to those that have it.

Maybe I watch football for football and leave the PC fluff nonsense at the door.

I couldn't give a bleep if he always loved the Cowboys. That means less than nothing to me. I only care about whether he can play. I'll take a life long Commanders fan in the backfield capable of leading the league in rushing than a diehard Cowboys fan who is nothing more than a roster filler.

Instead of this angle, they should have dealt with his pass protection issues, because the dude has talent but you can't put him on the field if he's going to get Romo killed.

On how many teams tried to get him on their active roster last season:

Williams: “I can’t remember exactly, but I know it was between five and 10.”

On why he didn’t leave; it would have been a lot more money:

Williams: “Money is not an issue for me. I feel like when you chase money, you’re chasing the wrong thing. I’m chasing happiness. The Cowboys have always been my favorite team since I can remember. The Cowboys made me fall in love with football. I’m thinking about the bigger picture, and that’s Ryan Williams being happy. Set aside from everything else, the money is always going to be there. I grew up — my mother never made money like this, and she raised three grown boys by herself. So if I can grow up in that household with the money that she made I can live life easily with the money that I’m making now. So money isn’t a big thing. It’s the dream. It’s almost surreal because ea lot of these players grew up with a favorite team and probably went through the draft thong that they would be drafted by their favorite team. I ended up not doing that, but luckily I ended up being with my favorite team so everything happens for a reason, and I really feel like God has been on my side.”

On what team looked like it might not have been a bad situation for him:

Williams: “You know what, any time my agent called me, I said ‘no.’ I told him to decline every team, regardless of what was going on. I didn’t care who called, where they’re from, what they was offering; I wanted to be right here. Because you know what, it’s bigger than that. Not many times you can go into an organization and you can fall in love with the coaches, you can fall in love with the system, you can fall in love with the trainers. Everything about this organization made me want to be here. I don’t want to go anywhere else where I’m not happy. I don’t want to go anywhere else where I don’t like the coach. I don’t want to go anywhere else where I feel like something is being said about me which shouldn’t be said about me, because it’s not right. I want to be right here.”

On not being a part of the team last year on Sundays:

Williams: “I wouldn’t’ say it was that difficult, but

I just fell in love with Williams.

He said in his locker room interview he's never had any other job besides the NFL. His first and only paycheck was and has been NFL. Everything in this article is a prototypical Garrett guy.

I love this interview too. The reporters try to get him to compare himself to the other backs. He doesn't bite.

Ok. The video really got me. One thing though, You can't take out the legs of every blitzing LB. You'll get Romo killed thinking like that. You're going to have to go heads up often with those free blitzers and stone them face to face. I'm excited to see what this guy can do.

Signed,

Newly made Ryan Williams fan

Chances he makes the active roster? I remember him killing it last year in pre-season as well. Extremely explosive player, just needs to stay healthy and continue to work on picking up the blitz.

Can't hate someone for not wanting the team to ignore talent and keep players on the roster because they're Cowboys fans.

But I don't think anyone has conveyed that sentiment here

What I'm reading is people rooting for a life long Cowboys fan (who has talent) to be successful in Dallas. I'm one of them.
