Twitter: Zeke on critics: “Those people aren’t signing my checks”

[Gangsta Spanksta]

Amazing, thinking about what expectation we had for the 2016 Draft Class, and how that class has failed to produce.

No win. Best to remain silent and go about his business.

When he decided to hold out with 2 years remaining and took off for Mexico, he set this wheel in motion. Plenty of pissed off fans and if he stumbled, and he has, he had to know this was coming. I know these guys get celebrityitis and think they're extra special but this day was coming unless he kept up that production level and didn't lay the rock on the ground.

They don't sign those checks but they do put money in the bank account of the cat that does.

I’m not surprised. This is his what, 5th season? Of course he believes that. It’s the country club culture. Almost every player since Jerry has been in charge has had this spoiled, entitled mentality. It’s disgusting. I know some players are naturally like this, but do you think a coach like Jimmy would let his players act entitled with no responsibility like this?

Just trying to make sense of your post. I didn't actually think it could be done.

The analogy that I was trying to make is, these spoiled football players need some discipline, this is a case of the tail wagging the dog, and the dog is Jerry.

But, for some reason, because of the CBA, these players have to be coddled now days, not like the days of Coach Jimmy's asthma field. But, this team for some reason, seems to be entitled, and if you spank them, they cry.

Military is not football, however, there are tons of guys that played sports, but our sport was to hunt, not be hunted. Our goal was to win and not complain, and if we did complain, all hell broke loose and we got straightened out.

I don't think the majority of fans can wrap their head around how hard the average athlete in just the NFL work. No clue.

If you think otherwise and don't make an example, then that's on you.

Tell em Zeke! They ain't running nothing but they mouth.

My responses would have been:
1a) "No comment"
1b) "Everybody has their opinion(s), one way or the other"
2) "Everyone have a wonderful holiday weekend!"

 

[WoodysGirl]

He's not wrong. Ultimately, it's up to the Coaches and the Jones.

But when folks don't like a player anymore, then his truth will come across as forget the fans. When, in reality, he SHOULDN'T worry about the fans.

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

Yah, but if you take away the 40 yard TD, the other TD, and the 69 yards receiving on 6 catches Pollard didnt really have a good day.

Well I think they "gave him too many carries to be considered "good"".

My example is that this team, and all teams, have strong azz players, big MoFo's, strong like Godzilla...without discipline.

For example, and if I were Jerry or MM and I saw this post of Zeke's? He is done for the year, he just pissed off tons of us Cowboy fans.(get you *** on the bench, fool, stay there). There are to many thin skinned players that think their crap don't stink.

The three day with Navy Seals would not be the physical part, it would be the mental part that would break these overpaid crybabies.

Yep...I would have come up with something very subdued too...after the fact.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

LOL.....I know a lot of fans don't wanna hear this but the position he's taking is that of most players. Sure, they play the PR game in front of the camera but their teammates, coaches, and family are what they care about. I know some say we pay their salaries and that's true, somewhat, but once these sign their contract THEY KNOW they're getting paid regardless of what fans say.

Quote a few thin skinned fans too.

Washed, lazy, AND sensitive.

Luckily, me dear fat boy, you have an idiot signing your checks.

Yep. They' take a quote like "that guys a real leader"....and act like it gospel. What the he hockey sticks do you expect him to say on camera?

And yet here you are...too. LOL>

Good for Zeke telling it like it is...

 

[Risen Star]

The correct answer was they're right. I know I have to be better.

 

[Ranched]

Tell em Zeke! They ain't running nothing but they mouth.

Sadly, that's about all he's running!

Good for Zeke telling it like it is...

Truth hurts!

 

[Bigdog]

He is going to find what the NFL really stands for if he keeps playing the way he does.
