How is Moore a developmental QB, he's been in the league for 6 years? He's 28... he's just bad all around except in the film room, I guess


6 years but has played very little.

I don't consider Moore developmental anymore. More of a warm body that knows the offense.

From what I understand, Moore very well might be on the roster by this Sunday.

Yeah I thought Moore was going to be a practice squad addition or something.

Rico is about to be moved to IR so we will have 1 more roster spot so Moore could be brought back but I would rather use it on Nzeocha or a DT.

Well, we have more clarity on the Lucky Whitehead situation with the Cowboys. Lots of folks thought the Cowboys were stupid for dropping Lucky after his arrest which turned out to be mistaken identity.

Apparently there was more to the story, you just cant get away with bangin a teammates ex, especially if he is the star of the franchise.

Thompson may have slept with Elliott's teammate, Lucky Whitehead. Elliott told Henderson that he believes Thompson had sex with former Cowboys wide receiver Whitehead to get back at him for breaking up with her.

As expected.

Wow, that chick is crazy. And Lucky is dumb. But we already knew that about both.

So we'll know by some time tomorrow what happens with Zeke's appeal? Jerry said he'll have "good news" by the end of the week, but that just sounds like classic Jerry talk.

I heard that 3pm today is the deadline. If they haven't gotten a decision by then, he plays on Sunday.

Oops, keep thinking today is Monday. Excuse my idiocy haha. I'm still expecting nothing to change and he'll still be out for the 6 weeks.

League office told NFLPA spokesman that a decision would be rendered today. We should know by 3 (I think the league office closes at 4 EST).

What makes you believe that he'll be out 6 weeks?

Isn't that what the suspension is if nothing changes? 6 games/weeks?

Correct. But what makes you believe the cowboys haven't proven a faulty process? The evidence against the NFL is rather overwhelming.

Oh, I mean I wasn't really giving my opinion of if the NFL is wrong. It just seems like everything to do with this from the NFL has been shady. I was just saying I bet they somehow end up winning (even though they shouldn't) and nothing changes/Zeke is still suspended. I guess that's just me being pessimistic.

Love hearing the the "independent arbitrator" is not going to rule before the hearing today, saying there's a "large volume of material." Absolutely just a tactic from the NFL to give them leverage in the hearing. I hope Zeke's legal team rips them a new one in this hearing. It's pretty blatant.

Remember the story about Whitehead's dog getting kidnapped for ransom? Guess what the rapper that had the dog said, he blamed Whitehead's "crazy ex-$#%@^". Hiw much you want to bet that woman was Thompson?

Quote:

It's unclear what happened between last night and early morning, when the dog was eventually returned. Boogotti Kasino claims the dog was taken by Whitehead's "ex-*****," and that he did not steal the animal. What he wanted was reimbursement for purchasing the dog, not ransom money according to the rapper

Zeke is actually at the hearing, apparently. Thought Garrett said initially he wasn't going to attend.
jtstanley4621
How long do you want to ignore this user?
So with the arbitrator's ruling it's likely that the situation with Zeke is either fully refuted by the court or fully enforced. There won't be a middle ground/reduction of suspension
DannyDuberstein
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Agree, and that's how I've felt all along. The investigation was either reasonable and it stays at 6, or it wasn't and it's 0. They only chance I ever saw at reduction would have been an admission, contrition, and action to show he was working on his problem. And even then I would have thought chances were super slim. And that was clearly not the direction his appeal defense went. This has been an all or nothing deal in the appeal and now the court IMO.

Most cowboys fans seemed glad that whitehead is gone.


That guy was a bonehead in the return game. He did a terrible job back there.

To all you fantasy owners that picked zeke (me)...CONGRATS!!!! Cowboys!!!!

So he sits out next year instead. I get why he's fighting so hard, I would too. But this is only a temporary victory.
DannyDuberstein
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Probably does serve it all next year. But Zeke has a better case and chance than I thought he did a few weeks ago. If I'm the NFL, this is not an ideal one to be litigating.
dellgriffith
How long do you want to ignore this user?
He will not sit this year and will sit 0-3 games next year. NFL ****ed this one up bigly.

I don't think they can go back and change the amount of games. The appeal will either enforce the suspension or get rid of it entirely
DannyDuberstein
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Yeah, this will be 6 or 0.

Jerrah plans to trade him in the off-season so we can get another RB from Arkansas...we're good

Looking forward to seeing Jaylon Smith tonight, if he looks good I will eat crow and say "you were right" to all the guys I doubted who said he was going to be back with a vengeance.

Also looking forward to seeing Switzer return punts and kicks.

And whoa damn the Texans suck, wouldnt be surprised to see a new coach in Houston.

Well I think Jaylon played just fine for his first action. He's only going to get better as the season goes on, you would think.

Zeke is just special. I don't think he's fully in football shape yet, but he still was able to rattle off something like 140 total yards. He's just so gifted.

I'll take the win. It's clear that the Giants offensive line is just bad. It'll be interesting to see what the defense looks like when we're going up against a good offense, but overall just kind of a throttling victory.
