Cowboys Sign Ezekiel Elliott

[boozeman]

I tend to agree. Lookit, they are comfortable with the player, OK?

That is exactly it.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

They met on Wednesday. They were never drafting anyone.

Yeah them meeting with him right before the draft was a really bad sign. Jerry had made up his mind at that point. You know when that third round pick came up it was like "hey we have Lloyd or we have this LBer" and Jerry's response was "LBer is a bigger need, Zeke can come back." They never felt the pressure to draft a RB because Jerry had already decided he was filling that roster spot.

You are apparently not a believer.

Look, you have to understand that they really really tried and it did not work out. It is not like you can just draft anyone as valuable to them as Elliott. Get with the program.

Exactly right.

Jeremiah said he thought Lloyd was the best back in the draft. Saban said he was his second-favorite RB in the draft. But let's pass on him for this 4th round LB because we're bringing back #21.

So 9 million, essentially. That's great.

Beyond retarded, the need for the Jones to be comfortable with players and coaches is pathological.

It's a very unattractive quality.

I'd rather run the ball with fucking Peat than waste 3 mil on Zeke. It's not much money but why throw it in the trash?

He knows all the big boat secrets. Probably worse than Epstein Island on that thing.

It reeks of a typical Jones move to "excite" the ignorant fanbase.

It’s a lot more than anyone else in that RB room.

 

[boozeman]

Walker had great contributions on Special Teams and he could catch a swing pass, plus he still had a gear then that Elliott has never had.

What does Elliott do? Short yardage? Nope. That fucker is getting 3.0 per carry.

[Bipo]

I absolutely can't wait for the non stop bitching about one of the worst RB rooms in league history this fall. I guess they could sign or trade for someone tho.

 

[boozeman]

So we are going to use him as a passing game threat that everyone ignores?

 

[Chocolate Lab]

I hate this thread.

 

[boozeman]

 

[bbgun]

So his last play as a Cowboy will not be as a center. Good for him.

 

[boozeman]

I hate this thread.

Well, the disgust did not to be buried in a big fat other thread. Disturbing news like this needs to be talked about out in the open. It is cathartic.

 

[Smitty]

If it was even 2021 Ezekiel Elliott I wouldn't be concerned.
