He's what Zeke wishes he was.
Zeke IS what Murray is ... rich. Lol.

Schmidlan's a good guy.
I watched this and some good HL, but the commentary is kinda lame and timid.
I always liked murray and he was great in 2014, and they should have signed him .
He wasnt burnt out , we had the OL, but when they let murray go, that led to changing the Off , and Tony getting
the broke collarbone.
Had they kept murray it would have been a continuation of 2014 and they might have made it to the SB.
If they had won a SB it would have been worth paying murray.
I am positive that if they had signed murray tony doesnt get hurt.
Murray broke OJ's record, and jim browns record, for 100 yd games in a row, and emmit's single season total yds record.
Also he still holds the single game record for the cowboys.
Mr. party boy has not come close to any of these records, but jones pays him 15 mil a year while in a pass first offense!
They could have had murray for 8 mil a year. But they got cheap and also as they say in this video chose dez over
murray lol and look how that turned out! Dez gets hurt in game one and was never the same. later tony gets hurt
trying to pass instead of handing off to murray.
when they let murray go they threw a SB chance out the window.
In this workplace, there are 31 other entities to go knocking on doors if you're that scary talented as a player. Not sure YOU understand the business model of the NFL here. Talent costs. Don't think it's worth it, don't pay it.
There is no argument, Zeke is by far a better back than Murray. I think that is what you are saying. We are in agreement on that point.Different situations. Elliott has been a healthy bell-cow back each of his seasons here. Other than his suspension, which the team didn't agree with, he doesn't miss games and he's been productive.
Murray missed games in every year but his last one with the team. Until that season, he'd never carried the ball more than 217 times. Elliott did not have fewer than 242 carries in his first four seasons, and three of them were over 300.
Dallas did not know how much it could rely on Murray healthwise, so the team made him what it felt was a reasonable offer. Elliott was a lot more proven. Last year was a down year for him (relatively) for a lot of reasons, but the front office had no reason to believe it couldn't rely on him for three or four more years to play at a high level when it re-signed him.
Marcus are you saying that none of these star players today are greedy ??And fans always want to see a player get less. Especially if they're old enough to remember when players were regular joes financially just like them. Those days are over and thus all the lamenting and finger-pointing about "greed." Defense mechanisms. Freud would be proud.
At least you guys were civil about it which I applaud. I get both of your point of views.We obviously disagree, I see it from a players perspective and you see it from a fan's. Salud!
He's not that good a guy, lol.Now if it were taking 20% of Corso's salary and putting it in my pocket ... hmmm ... Let me think about this.
Yes sir! We are all different.At least you guys were civil about it which I applaud. I get both of your point of views.
I too went on to get a better paying job. Actually double my salary, better benefits, and more time to spend with my family. Actually after 4 months on the job, I was offered more money some place else but I turned it down mainly because I like the people I worked with. If that is greedy than so be it but sometimes the work environment is better than anything else. I say to each his own.

the jones boys bought into it for 2015 season.This "any RB will do" idea is a fan thing. Scary how many have actually bought into it.
You are not getting it. Players have to share the same pot of money no matter what team they are on or go to. Any dollar in Mahomes' pocket is a dollar not in other Chief players' pockets. Same thing with Rodgers and GB players and every other player making big money and their respective players on their teams.
Keep it simple. No need to complicate it.

I wanted dak to get a good deal, but not 25% of the cap! lol
The more 1 star player makes the less money there is for the non star players, and often times those guys are the ones
that help win the games!
The best way to pay players would be they all get 1 mil per year, and then depending on the season they have
they get a % of the remaining cap. That way anyone that has a good year would be paid good.
Dak would have made much more in his rookie contract under a system like that.
And all of the cap is paid out each year.
The way it is now a few star players get 75% of the money and the rest get crumbs.
So I tend to feel for the guys getting crumbs over the stars bickering about I want 40 mil a year not 35.
That's a fallacy. Fans look at the cap. If they got rid of the cap, I wouldn't care a bit how much players get paid. Sure, maybe some fans think as you assume. Most don't and your blanket statement is ignorant. You assume motivations for those that disagree with you.
Truethe jones boys bought into it for 2015 season.
