My thoughts 7.23 on the Elliott situation

[jazzcat22]

This is why fans are fans and GMs are GMs

And I question at times if fans are really fans....

as aol fat a** parcels would say , "you guys just got sucked"

You don't trade your stars. If he was a mediocre backup than yea get rid of him. Jimmy Johnson always treated players differently and besides Elliott still hasn't been convicted of anything. Big overreaction.

Amen. If he gets convicted..it won't make a big difference. Years ago, judged by todays pussified standards, half the club would be suspended out of the league!! Its a joke. Deacon Jones...Mel Blount...Jack Tatum..a few examples...wouldn't be allowed to play in todays gearbox NFL.

If i was Jerry i would try and trade him and draft another RB. I would hope this team gives Dangelo Williams a call.

Trade Elliott? That's a little off the reservation thinking. And a massive overreaction.

D. Williams? The same D. Williams that said he would never play for the Cowboys?

22 year old millionaire with the world being handed to him since like forever!

I'm not making excuses but I do understand why the immaturity. Everyone matures at a different rate. I am not giving up on him and just hope he matures and matures quickly.

They are...but people want to be holier than thou for some odd reason. I don't get where the American spirit of freedom and indepentent thought went.

Hell Mike Irving, Eric Williams, Mark Tuinei, Charles Haley and half of our defensive players from the 90's would be banned.

Amen!!

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

Hell Mike Irving, Eric Williams, Mark Tuinei, Charles Haley and half of our defensive players from the 90's would be banned.

This is like when Irvin and Williams were accused of rape by that woman and it was proven that she lied and then the commissioner suspends them anyway. That's what would have happened in today's NFL.

Heard a story yesterday about Zeke punching that guy. Not certain if this is true.

The guy was hassling a woman in his group. Zeke asked him to back-off. The guy got up in Zeke's face.

Zeke sent him to nap city with one punch. Take it for what it's worth. The guy telling the story swears he knows a guy who was there.

I asked if this guy that was there was a dry cleaner. He didn't know.

All these distractions are irritating for a fan, i cant even imagine what its like for a coach and even more for Jerry. This guy has to make better choices plain and simple. Hes a grown man so its not like Jerry or JG should have to hold his hand.

Elliots continuous issues and his inability to stay out of the news is concerning. Wether he's guilty or not, its a distraction. The NFL isnt playing games with these players anymore. Anything that will draw negative attention to the league ur going to miss games. Elliot is a product of this generation where its more about fame for them. They need the attention. If i was Jerry i would try and trade him and draft another RB. Elliot will have a ton of value. But he will be a Cowboy for a long time. Love what Elliot brings to the team on the field. But with the way he chooses to live off the field should scare this organization.

Think Elliot will surely miss 1 to 2 games, IDK could be more with new things that have happened. If its more than the 1 to 2 games i would hope this team gives Dangelo Williams a call.

While i would try and trade Elliot, it wont happen. Think the safer bet is Dallas could draft a RB higher in 2018 as insurance. Bo Scarbrough in RD 2 would do it for me.

Trading Elliott may be the worst idea I have seen here. And keep in mind I was for drafting Bobby Carpenter and wanting to get a Zone pool together to buy a billboard across from Jerry World and tell him to get a GM.

We should have drafted Karen Carpenter.

And neither of those ideas was as poor as trading Elliott.

Why not trade Dak for multiple firsts? Maybe several of the linemen. We could stockpile first round picks. Maybe have ten in two years.

Ridiculous.

Notice how I spelled ridiculous correctly.

My reaction would be to trade the QB. Surround Zeke with decent human beings.

 

[AsthmaField]

Good God man.

Trade the best young RB the league has seen in I don't know how long? The engine that drove the offense to 13-3? For next to nothing done wrong?

Are you trying to get voted off the island?

 

[ghst187]

trade Zeke, i think he was difference last year between 8-8 and 13-3.
and I don't care to go back to 8-8

 

[Sarge]

Total overreaction.

My reaction would be to trade the QB. Surround Zeke with decent human beings.

My reaction would be to trade the QB. Surround Zeke with decent human beings.

Yeah, Philly would probably want trade their starter for ours.... but they'd have to add in a draft pick or two.

 

[Risen Star]

What's wrong with the Cowboys and why Zeke is eventually heading to prison...

 

[JackOfNoTrades]

With the explosion of social media and the new found "credibility" to outlets like TMZ, we're hearing of things Elliott is doing that countless others have been doing forever but weren't jammed down our throats.

Not aware of any laws Elliott has broken. For all we know, his issues could be dating a bad apple, being at the wrong places and naive to the extents his name would be dropped for clicks.

But they can.

Heard it right here.

Our line is so good, we could sign a wannabe wrestler who does not want to be here and he could intentionally tank and he would get 1000 yards.
