How long does Zack Martin have left?

[john van brocklin]

Lots of threads planning for failure this week. Having to struggle I guess when the most recent evidence is to the contrary.

After the 49er debacle, most smart fans are not drinking the kool-aid.
Respect is earned in the NFL.
Let's beat a SB contender before planning our trip to the SB.

Thought he would be fresh after missing camp.

They have training camp for a reason. Had he had training camp he might not have gotten hurt earlier in the season. He may not be totally healthy and that may be why his play has dropped off.

The scary thing about the NFL, where threat of grievous injury abides every play. Any player taking the field on a given Sunday may be playing their last game...or their last good one.

Is he a shoe in for the hall of fame?

Yes. Already he has eight Pro Bowls, six #1 All-Pros, and is on the HoF All-2010 team.

As long as he wants.

Anyone going to tell him any different.

HOF and ROH.

Who is planning that? And why does that mean we should poopoo everything after a nice win where the offense made obvious strides?

Zack has two or three years left before retirement. Then the 5-year clock starts on his induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Not poo pooing anything, Fuzzy.
I enjoy the win, just keeping it in perspective.

No problem.
Go Cowboys!

He is not having his best year for sure but is still our best offensive lineman by a landslide. O-line very much an underachieving group that is going to bite us in the rear end. Glad to see Dak doing the cheetah sprint to get outside just to throw the dam ball. Martin has 2-4 years left in him i think.

 

[Jstopper]

Is he a shoe in for the hall of fame?

Without question

 

[Kwyn]

He's good but not as good as he used to be. Creeping up in age. 2 years left?

Heck if I know. Probably as long ad he feels good.

3-5 years at least.

 

[Kwyn]

Is he a shoe in for the hall of fame?

Obviously.

Is he a shoe in for the hall of fame?

He's a shoe in but not make first ballot since the hall committee absolutely hates interior lineman.

Alan Faneca has the same amount of first and 2nd team all-pros as Martin but has one more pro bowl and a super bowl win (Alan also players for a franchise that the hall loves) and it took him I think 5 attempts to get in.

Randall McDaniel who was a 1st team all pro at guard 9x (which is an NFL record for interior lineman) didn't even make first ballot which is embarrassing.

I wouldn't be surprised if there were a few voters who voted against Larry Allen being first ballot, they hate interior line.

1st ballot?

 

[quickccc]

Injuries will dictate his time left. He could easily play to 36ish if he stays healthy.

yeh " phone booth " area inside guys Mrtin should be able to play well into his 30's

 

[plymkr]

this year, the offense will finish different than it started

I hope you’re right. Last week was a good indication that you’re right.

 

[plymkr]

1st ballot?

Easily. No question.
