Murray advice to Zeke

[zrinkill]

gonna be a very strange shower situation sooner or later....

 

[Zimmy Lives]

Not really arguable at this point.

Everything is arguable.

 

[John813]

That's fair not basing anything on hypotheticals. I was simply pointing out that Murray's options for a significant new contract windfall outside of Dallas wasn't limited to Philadelphia alone.

It wasn't. However, I think if Bradford never got traded there, he probably either would of came back here or gone to one of those AFC teams.

Bradford being an OU buddy I think sealed the deal.

Emmitt's advice to Elliott:

Learn to live without that second t.

Emmitt's 2nd piece of advice: Go deep into the woods and bring back a moose. He'll carry you far and long on the field.

There have been a lot of snubs of deserving Cowboys, but this paper trail makes the likelihood of Jason not ultimately getting in, less than zero.

 

[Zimmy Lives]

Look at these stats, these alone gets him in. And the NFL rule is 5 years before consideration, after retitement.

#10 all time in receptions, #2 all time for TE's
He should move into #5 all time passing Owens. Probably #6 though, as Larry Fitzgerald may very pass Jason.

Though #32 in yards, well, still a pretty great accomplishment for a TE even. He should move into the top 25 this year. I think he is 2nd among TE's though in yards

Not to mention his blocking as well as what he meant to Romo and the team.
The play against the Eagles, where he ran like 50 yards without a helmet, only to be tackled around the 5, gets him in alone...LOL...the play they made, yet another rule from a cowboys player / play for.

Maybe you and Chicken can make the pitch in front of the committee instead of Goose Gosling? Nothing is guaranteed when it comes to sportswriters and the HOF.

 

[Zimmy Lives]

I bet he get's in first ballot, no problem. We is widely respected outside Dallas. 10 Pro Bowls should be evidence of that.

We can only hope. Lots of sportswriters (with HOF votes) out there hate the Cowboys.

 

[erod]

Witten had a lot to do with Murray's final season here. Great advice.

What I never understood was that water regimen Murray had. He drank over a gallon of water before the game so he could gain 10 pounds. How did he not have to pee after every down?

 

[bayeslife]

Demarco still reeks of Eagles. Nice advice, I still hate him.

 

[dogunwo]

Don't leave meat on the bone.

 

[Craig]

Demarco Murray is evil and fumbles too much. He's old, and beaten down and has nothing left. And what's up with him taking the money and running?

I dont know if its accurate to say he took the money and ran. He nust took the money.

I'm in.
I think Goose gave up his vote. He may still be involved somehow. But I believe Charean Williams now has this vote.

 

[links18]

If this organization can't get Witten a ring, well, shame on it.....

Start hitting her up! I think she would go to bat for Witt!

Surprised Murray didn't warn Zeke that the Cowboys will use him up and spit him out by the end of his first contract.

It was Murray choice to take the big payday, I don't blame him he did what he felt was in his own best interest and the Cowboys did what was in their interest. Players wanted FA they got it and this is just part of the business of this game. Other teams are also forced to let players walk in FA.

Myself I like Murray hated to see him go but it is the business of the game

I agree with you 100%. I just see the same thing happening to Zeke which is fine if we can get a high draft pick RB to replace him at the end of his contract.

 

[DeaconMoss]

There will be no debate on his HOF choice, even for the Cowboys hating media that votes.
1st time ballot, unanimous voting.

yep

Maybe then again maybe not. Dallas had Dez contract coming up and they were not going to pay Murray the 8 mill a year he was looking for.

My advice to Murray: money can't buy happiness
