What if the Cowboys had waited? And another what if

LOL............hold on a minute!!!! Is the #1 Garrett lover coming out of hiding to defend his fallen hero?

Do you miss him? How often do you think about Garrett? Are you still sad?

The breakup obviously was hard on you since you have been pretty much a ghost around here this year. Broken heart?

 

Dear lad: I am of 2 minds on this matter.
The voice in me big and manly head says "Jerry and most of the fandom really believed in Zeke back in 2019. Even I believed Zeke would be a durable 5.0 yard a carry bloke with explosive breakaway power.
I thought, however, that Jerry caved too early and paid the fat one too much.
I came away with the feeling, well, at least our Gringo beast Zeke won't be eating all the food in Cabo in a country that sometimes has food shortages.
No one back then as recently as 2019 saw this debacle coming.

On the other hand, as a one-time survivor of a 3-Jitney crash, I am a firm believer
in limiting your losses and living to fight another day.
Yes, in 2021, trade that fat cat and eat whatever losses we have to.
Zeke is mundane. Quickly ran out of gas. 3.8 ypc average? That is 40th in the league.

 

Have you, at last, no decency.
What is wrong with you?
Garrett, for all his limitations will prove to be more valuable to N.Y. than Big Mac will in 2 miserable years (if that) in Dallas.

 

This is nothing against you. You have always posted sound reason. Your analysis of the situation is correct.

However, I was always taught "Don't clean up dumb people ...it. They're just going to eat more and ....it in the same spot you cleaned up. Leave them alone in their ....it, and have them clean their own ....it.

Jerry Dumbo GM Jones made this mess. He paid a RB, 2 one legged LBs, a DE that was unreliable his first 3 years in the NFL, and paid a tweener DE/DT before paying his Franchise QB with a long term contract. Jerry fooled around with a pathetic "learn on the job" puppet Head Coach wasting talent, and watched his NFC Championship contending defense built during the Parcells years vanish and did not reload for over a decade on defense even with an All Pro RB and Pro Bowl QB, both on rookie deals.

So let Jerry Dumbo GM Jones live in his own crap and clean up is own crap.

Anything Jerry Dumbo GM Jones does with Zeke, Smith, Lee, Lawrence, Crawford, and Dak is not my care. Which reminds me of another saying, "A fool and his money is soon parted". Jerry's got a lot of greenback toilet paper. Let him use it.

Cowboys should worry about the Vikings RB not Zeke.

 

lol.....no it’s been great actually. I’ve reemed the coaching for their errors whenever they happen. Unlike you I don’t applaud ineptitude.

every staff gets bashed or applauded based on the results. There is no homer logic here.

and unlike you I don’t need excuses or 10 years to evaluate a coach.

getting a top 5 pick would be music to my ears, punks like jaylon and zeke have been exposed which hastens their exit.

Meanwhile your lover over at the giants is overseeing one of the worsts offenses in football and he didn’t lose his starting g qb or half his players. No surprise there. Jones has regressed.

 

What would have happened:

1. Jerry holds the line, Zeke comes back after the Cowboys start 3-0 without him.
2. Zeke would have been signed during the offseason.

Same outcome.

 

You can tell its been a tough year for some folks when they say the Giants have one of the worst offenses in the league and the Cowboys have only scored 9 more points (204 to 195). Dare we ask how he feels about the Cowboys?

And no mention of Saquon Barkley lest we see heads exploding!

 

The guy was the #1 running back in the world when he was a senior in college. From 2015-2018 Zeke was the best RB in college football and won 2/3 rushing titles in the nfl and the only reason he didn’t get it 3 years in a row is because he got suspended for no reason, for 6 games in a season that is arguably the best of his entire career.

In other words, they had to sign Zeke and he’ll be here for 2 more seasons & then he’ll be cut.

 

What IF...you won the lottery?

 

Saquon Barkley

 

Suspended when the police said the girl lied, and GODell's female investigator said nothing happened.
GODells' vendetta against Jerry and Zeke paid the price.

Oh yeah...after the Cowboy's best season in YEARS. A Rookie MVP, NFL Rushing Champ and Coach Of The Year.

 

We're in the same boat.

 

hahaha, this is so absurd.

His production went down "EVERY YEAR" if you don't look at it linearly.

 

I know this is going to be really tough for you to answer but what is the primary function for a running back? Need any hints? It's gaining yards by running. Now here's another tough question for you. How does someone monitor how well a running back has gained yardage. Well they add up the total number of yards a running back gains in each game and at the end of the season they have a total number of yards he has gained for the season. Now even a kid in the 1st grade can tell you that 982 is less than 1631 and 1434 is less than 1631 and 1357 is less than 1434. So what has that shown us. Lets see, that the production of a running back's primary function has drop in production in every year since his first.

That's a lot of words just to say "what do linear mean"

 

No it's a lot of words that Elliott's production has fallen every year since his rookie season. Oh and linear:

1. arranged in or extending along a straight or nearly straight line.
2. progressing from one stage to another in a single series of steps; sequential.

Neither of which applies to Elliott's loss of production. Stop trying to use words that you really don't know what they mean.

With Ramsey’s attitude, just how long would he have stayed in Dallas? Ramsey definitely hasn’t had the impact on the teams that he has played for that Zeke has had. I will be the first to say that Zeke has declined rather rapidly, but I sure don’t Ramsey would have had the direct effect that Zeke has had on wins or loses.

 

I would agree with the Ramsey and attitude portion but disagree with impact part. Imagine Ramsey and Jones in the secondary for 4 years along with the GOAT (Heath) lol! Zekes production could have been duplicated or even exceeded by other backs certainly henry behind this line. I mean Ramsay has been a top CB for 5 years running. him and Jones in secondary and second round pick of Henry

Much more impactful then just Zeke. The strength of this team was the OLINE which made it clear that more than just Zeke could have excelled. (Murray, McFadden, Morris all did well)
