Why Zeke suspension is good long term

[Asklesko]

There is going to have to be something catastrophic that has to happen for Garrett to go this year.

six straight blowout losses, maybe?

Maybe being labeled a woman beater by 90 percent of uninformed non-Cowboys fans and essentially losing a season—-watching your best friend(Dak) struggle and your team missing the playoffs while you can do nothing but blame yourself can change him? I hear you but this country has changed. The media is looking for anybody who will say Zeke grabbed my butt. He literally will have to have his own camera on him at all times.

If anything can change a man, I’m sure these last few months put everything in prospective. He doesn’t have to change much, just be cautious of the situations he puts himself in and the people that he hangs out with.

Maybe he has already taken steps—-this accusation was before he even took a snap or even had a full practice.

 

[baltcowboy]

And imagine how many girls at the club will think they can extort him for 100K just for making an accusation.

A 100k? I say a million. His career is on the line.

Reasons that Zeke getting suspended is terrible both long and short term:

1 He's one strike from a lifetime ban.
2 We're out of the playoff hunt by black Friday.
3 Dak would have been able to develop without the pressure of having to carry the team.
4 Zeke wouldn't be in Cabo now 'training' - which probably involves a lot of tequila.

In a way the worst thing that happened last year was Zeke dominance. Some consequences of that:

1. Cowboys became completely reliant on unreliable person.
2. It hid fact that Dak can't throw open WRs yet.
3. Made Garrett/Linehan game time decisions look better than it warranted.

In a way, it would have been healthier for Cowboys if Zeke was just kind of good and not all world. The good news is the suspension peels back all those false layers of infallibility and likely forces them to acknowledge their over-valuation of their roster and coaching ability. There is silver lining to Zeke suspension.

Or it gives Jerry a scapegoat to not change anything. Which seems more likely?

It could also be too much pressure for a young qb..hopefully not so much he doesn't recover.

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

It reinforced my opinion that Garrett can't coach when any of his major players are gone. That's about it. Just one more wasted season with the red headed idiot.

Dark spot?
Way to try and excuse the incompetence of the coaches

No excuse

 

[Wood]

I agree, I remember back in 1991 when they lost in the playoffs to the Lions, Erik Kramer killed them that day (29-38 for 341 and 3 tds).......Erik Kramer. That game showed Jimmy that if he was going to win championships that he would need to shore up the passing D. The next offseason he got Charles Haley, Thomas Everett, and Kevin Smith and went on to win the super bowl. IMO if Kramer doesn't expose our pass D then we think that we are set on D and don't make the necessary changes that needed to be made.

my point exactly. Thank you.

also
1. zeke learned to have fun in cabo instead of the usa
2. draft position hopefully at least 10 slots higher to pick up the needed pieces for a long run.
3. crossed finger that coaching staff is done.

Jerry is have Zeke do all his commuting and entertaining in an RV.

And by RV, I mean a Stryker Armored Fighting Vehicle:

This season is a rough ride !!!

 

[waldoputty]

it shows that garrett is dependent on a great player for wins and can't scheme a win to save his life.

that was the 90's team approach.
basically everyone knew exactly what they were going to do but could not stop it because of overwhelming talent.
