Marion Barber still in bad shape

[links18]

and she brings up obscure Cowboys conversations like "I think Noah Brown could take Butlers spot on the team." I have the Barbarian to thank for our healthy, Cowboys obsessed relationship!

Man, she picked up on that overly optimistic hyping up of the bottom of the depth chart real quickly. She must spend a lot of time on here....

I believe Marion Barber had mental issues before he entered the league.

Sad to see, but I wish the best.

His contract and last year playing seemed to make people forget what he did for us. He gave everything those three years to us, unfortunately it robbed him of his prime and now mental health. I'm hoping he still has some savings in the bank and can recover enough to have a normal life.

Dude was like a dog chasing parked cars for the last couple years of his career. He wasn't making anybody miss and he wasn't missing anybody. I shutter to think what his CTE scan will look like.

I wish there was more details...


What an awesome player he was for a short spurt.

Amen brother. MBIII was a nightmare with a head of steam. He ran with violent intentions and would hype up everyone while he mauled opposing defenses.

Yeah, my boy saw him at The Star a few months ago, and said he looked TERRIBLE. It's sad. I always liked this video.

I remember seeing that, top of the world with the Dallas skyline in the backround and playing some mean piano. Very talented man, if he's been seen at the Star I am sure that Jerry has offered any and all possible services required. I hope he can get his life back.

Haha...she feeds off my optimism. I think her line was, "is that the guy who caught 4 TDs and played for Zeke's school......I like him...he's going to be better than The Brice guy."

The Cowboys need to introduce Zeke to MBIII and use him as a lesson in avoiding unnecessary hits. I loved Barber's style of play but he took way too many hits he didn't need to. The fans loved how aggressive he was but it wasn't worth what he's going through now. Glad to see he's still in contact with the Boyz. You just know Jerry is still helping the guy. Kudos to Jerry.....

Thanks for keeping us updated

 

[dallasdave]

Unfortunately for both of them, he still does......

Very true

Great point.

I think Zeke established his physicality last season. Now there is some good tape out there for defenders to see if you go high you might get popped and if you go low you might get hurdled. The threat is there either way so hopefully he can put that tool back in his chest and preserve his body, except occasionally when its necessary to do otherwise.

Oh wow hope he is ok. I loved this dude when he played for Dallas! Dude was a straight up beast. My favorite TD by him was on the goal line when high stepped around the right side of the line against the Eagles!

 

[viman96]

LOL and Archuleta remembers what a beast Barber was!!

 

[Screw The Hall]

I loved watching " the Barbarian" , he was one helluva player for a minute.

 

[Big D]

Barber was in beastmode before 'beastmode" was a thing.

Not good I would say !!!

 

[haleyrules]

Too bad. Good guy and a good Cowboy.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

my bad I should have added more to the OP. apparently he's had some mental issues the last few years.

I believe he left the game around 28 years old; not surprisingly, most mental disorders reach their apex in the late 20s.
