Twitter: Helman's nugget on Zeke

[Hawkeye0202]

So true.......not sure why
LOL.....a player can go from great to bad dishwater when contract talk starts

 

[NEODOG]

I think we win without Zeke

Just my opinion

 

[MWH1967]

Folks are just aggravated, It's been a long time since this team went somewhere. There is an outside shot now and players are the problem now ,not the talent. On vacation last week I finally got my tattoo and the Artist was Kidding me by asking if I still had my VHS player so I could watch Dallas in a super bowl again.

Zeke has made it clear, Zeke only cares about Zeke. That's not what I'm about. I care more about the team. Zeke is now holding the 2019 season for ransom and I don't appreciate it one bit.

 

[CATCH17]

There are a few reasons people are ready to move.

1. He's a knucklehead.

2. He plays the easiest position in football to replace.

3. If for some reason a team offered a bounty of draft picks then we could get out of paying the RB position (proven mistake by teams) and bolster our roster with some premium draft picks that we will need once Dak is overpaid.

I remember D Law holding his injured shoulder for ransom. I also remember ET holding out in Seattle last year and being celebrated for it here.

I love selective outrage.

I have some really good Cowboys games on VHS. I have converted them to digital format because let's be honest, VHS don't last.

There’s a difference between replacing his position and replacing HIM. I’m not so sure why people can’t comprehend that

 

[ItzKelz]

2 weeks ago no one thought playing without Zeke this season was a reality......NOW it's a reality. Forces everyone to think if the Cowboys could win without him long term; hence the conversation all over the internet, among fans and TV sports shows. We are America's team so everyone has an opinion on the subject.

I'm still irritated w/ DLaw. Paying him might well have led to the holdout w/ Zeke.

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

Good reports on Frederick, improvement of LG Conner Williams, seeing Pollards speed and ability in camp, Dak's adjustment with the new Moore offense.....that's why.

 

[Reality]

I focus on and support the players who are playing.

I do not care if players hold out as that is their business, but until he returns, I view him just like I would an injured player.

He has to know himself the window is now. He don’t care as much about getting a ring as he does a contract that’s not due to him till at least after this season. Witten came back because he felt this team had a real shot. I bet he is beyond mad.

You’re irritated with him after sportingly agreeing to 2 franchise tags and being a good teammate throughout the entire process?

I get we are fans but at some point, these athletes have to do what they have to do for themselves. We weren’t exactly feeling sorry for murray In 2014 when we used him up and refused to sign him to a longer deal. It’s a double standard

If Witten was any good on MNF I bet he'd still be there.

Just my opinion

Redzone short yardage needing a 1st down won't be as easy though without Zeke. Well just have to hope Weber can do some of that.

Fans will turn on players in an instant. It's no wonder they should look out for themselves first.

It's not selective outrage for me. Go back and find a post where I was okay with D Law delaying his shoulder surgery. You won't find it because I didn't support Tank doing that. I posted several times about my displeasure about that. I'll challenge you again to go back and find a post where I expressed support for ET's hold out in Seattle. You won't find it because it never happened and I never wanted him to be a Dallas Cowboy. Go find someone else to call out @Jake because you come to the wrong example when you accuse me of selective outrage.

Elliot watching D-Law hold out on surgery for a contract could give him a idea. And D-Law and his filthy agent was wrong but at least he didn’t do it 3 years into his 4 year rookie deal.

I hope this team goes to the playoffs without him and look great. Elliot tries to come back to collect a ring and JJ says no thanks. And you will also sit next year also.

I didn’t want ET. He treated his team like crap and threw a fit. Wanted way to much money. So glad JJ and SJ said no thanks. He won’t earn his contract.
