My friends and associates keep telling me how great Tony Pollard is and that he's better that Zekie. Well, I remember a back by the name of Felix Jones who everyone thought was the next Emmitt when the Boys had Marion Barber. Isn't it funny when the guy playing second fiddle has seriously gaudy numbers until he's asked to carry the baton. I can I get an amen!!!!
Yeah I am not sure anyone actually says Pollard is better than Zeke all around. Like another poster said though, Pollard does have some things going for him that are atleast comparable if not better than Zeke.
Zeke is a better power rusher who can take on single tacklers for that extra yardage. He has decent vision once he finds his gaps. and he does have a knack to fight for extra yardage.
Pollard is a shifty RB with very good vision once he gets the ball. What he lacks in power, he gains in quickness in feet movement to find his hole. Has very good speed, and has good takeoff speed as he doesn't waste body movement in moving forward
Personally. I like both Zeke and Pollard, but I would not of spent the 90 million last year had I known what Pollard was last year. That being said, its not my money so as long as it doesn't hurt our opportunities to keep and get talent, it is nice to have both. I really hope they line both on the field at same time in multiple formations as I think that would be a dangerous combination of what our team could do
