POLL The Zeke Elliot Fiasco

[fordman84]

No, the Fords suck, but have a better chance than Jerry with no GM and puppet coaches.

Yes, you have proven to have that better chance for 50+ years now. Jerry in the mean time has 3 of that which you would give anything to experience.

Cowboys better hope this Amari injury they are trying to play down really doesn't keep him out of any games or limit him.

No Amari or Zeke in week 1 and the Cowboys will have to win via defensive scores off of Eli turnovers. Otherwise I can't see Dak without Cooper and Elliott being able to produce more yards and points than Barkley.

You can always count on those though.

 

[SteelersPride]

Yes, as soon as he isn't worth the money. So a one year extension would be three more years of him.

right, and hes not gonna sign that, unless hes guaranteed some serious money those three years, so yeah ur gonna pay him

 

[SteelersPride]

Boy it must suck to have a star RB holding out for money the team will probably regret paying out.

funny no one says dallas is screwing zeke

He got lucky and hired Jimmy. Then the egotistical dumbass fired him. Besides, you're talking about the past and I'm talking about this season.

I wouldn't pay him, I've said that. I'd tell him he can show up and play through at least this year and keep clean and we will explore his demands or he an retire. Zero fucks given by me, we aren't a SB favorite with or without him.

Of course not, he has two years left on his contact. Hard for the team to be the bad guy on that one.

Call it luck or whatever you want. He hired Jimmy. Putting the right people around you is how you succeed in life. Jimmy was quitting with or without Jerry firing him.

If only the Fords could do the same. Instead you roll out Millen. Well done.

Millen was notorious.

jerry is pissed, rightfully so. If I were Jerry I'd just call Zeke's agent and tell them I pulled the offer. Zeke will report before PS game 4 and if he stays healthy and productive and has no run ins with the law until next training camp we will look at an extension. But the offer I made is now gone and he can report and play under his current contract, minus the no-show fines, or he can sit and pout. There will be no further contract offers until he shows he is willing to work to earn it.

Comical.

 

[eaglesnut]

jerry gonna cave.........if hes willing to give him that kinda cash, hes gonna get his.......but jesus who doesnt get paid then

All the RBs are supposed to get paid. They are all being fucked. They get hit the most and get the smallest piece of the pie every year.

They could force him to play the next four years at $28 million and there is nothing he could do about it. He could sit the whole time, but he can't force a trade and can't make them raise their offer. If I were the Cowboys, he would sign this deal or he could stay in Cabo all season

RB's will really get fucked when MLB style analytics hit the NFL and the RB position is shown to be a low WAR position. In regards to wins, the difference between the best RB in the NFL and an average one is probably less than one win per year. Now factor that against a QB, a WR, an OL, or a DL. With that in mind RB's should be paid like LBers or a DB.

And I think the biggest aha moment will be that kickers are the most important player after QB. The best kicker in the league is worth way more than the average kicker.

I tend to side with zeke on this. Running backs are being devalued in football these days, particularly first-round draft picks. Teams essentially run them into the ground and have the flexibility to avoid a major payday with a fifth-year option and up to two franchise tags.

I disagree with the bolded part. The wording implies that it is against the will of the player. I'm sure Zeke would be fine being used less, right? No way. They want the numbers.

 

[molsaniceman]

Ezekiel Elliott is back in Cabo continuing his holdout, and Hall of Famer Marshall Faulk is headed to Mexico to train with him.

Kickers are psychotic and you never know when they'll crack. The few that aren't rarely get loose.

RB's do the most on the football field after the QB. A couple dorks simplifying variable events just so they can perform some arithmetic and extrapolate it doesn't change that.
