.... after last night Zeke's dollar dropped a bit. Pollard showed makings of being a capable back for the job. Still lots to see, but good start. Jerry has said before he overpaid players before, then couldn't pay the others.

As disrespectful as sitting out with 2 years left on a contract after everything Jerry has done for him? I could only hope you’re right.
He represents the Cowboys every time he’s in public, do you think he’s done a good job?There's no reason to throw a shot at him through the media. Zeke isn't out here trash mouthing the Cowboys and negotiating through the media.
Based on what I’ve seen from that Giants D, I wouldn’t be the slightest bit surprised if he does. That would be awesome is so many ways, sticking it to the Giants and Zeke at the same time!You already went there, anybody with half a brain knows EXACTLY who you're talking about. This guy lives in y'all's head rent free, literally makes you insane. It's truly hilarious.
Zeke better hope like hell Pollard doesn't go off for 100+ in the season opener.
I'm wondering if at some point Stephen is going to reign Jerry in a bit. The story Jerry told about the almost severed hand seemed really bizarre and Jerry told it as if he were giving a lecture. Jerry tells everyone a few months ago that the Cowboys would sign all three and now he's surprised that they want more money.Jerry was just having fun. It was obvious to everyone that it was a joke. He even turned to the camera to make sure Zeke knew they were just joking and having some fun, not intended to be at his expense. Pollard is an exciting player who could end up with a nice roll, but he’s not make no anyone forget Zeke.
If Jerry really made that "Zeke who?" comment then if I'm Zeke I am demanding a trade .
Very disrespectful
Yeah preseason against Rams 2nd string no doubt - lol.
Pretty strong endorsement for one game.....remember Zeke is an elite three-down RB. Odds of replacing him with one guy are pretty slim.
He represents the Cowboys every time he’s in public, do you think he’s done a good job?
Personally, I think he’s been a complete embarrassment and is a large reason we get unwanted attention. Jerry is having to babysit a grown man that he’s paying millions to. Believe me, I’m no Jerry fan either, he’s an embarrassment as well but at least Jerry owns the team and is therefore responsible for the distractions he creates.
And I beg to differ, sitting out is non verbal negotiating through the media.
Yeah, I liked what I saw last night in Pollard too. But keep in mind his good showing last night was against the rams backups. And also keep in mind that DC’s don’t game plan for PS games, so his excellent work last night was against a base vanilla defense.
I think we have an excellent young player in Pollard. I believe he will be an outstanding change of pace weapon this year. But I’m not ready to proclaim his greatness until he faces starters in a game that actually means something.
I agree, we will win 6-7 games by week 8 without Zeke.LOL....Jerry having to much of the Blue label....
\Ok Jerry go to war without #21 and depend on Pollard and Dak...
GL with that Jerry.
We will win minimal 6-7 games and that's because of our defense.
Zeke was the number 4 overall pick, he isn't making league minimum. Now if you are talking about Dak than yes, he gets paid less than backup QBs.He has every right to hold out. He's one of the premier talents in the NFL who is (a) being paid near the minimum the league allows and (b) has less time to capitalize on that than any other player on the team.
It's easy to say honor your contract but not even the biggest detractor of Zeke would try and argue that it's fair.
And whether you agree with it or not it has already worked for him, as the Cowboys have already offered him a contract that will increase his salary several times over
