Except for TD's looks like Zeke is ahead by a nose. If he can hold up I think there is a chance the Cowboys could have the top 2 rushers in the history of the NFL !

Emmitt had heart no doubt. Zeke wants it too ... bad. If you can't watch the games and see it maybe get some new glasses.

Emmitt- 3 rushing titles
Zeke- 2

Because that matters to people here, like the OP.

Like it or not that's the benchmark. None of the other stats in the tweet mean anything.

I want to agree because my admiration for Emmitt has no ceiling but , unlike the QB position, RB shouldn't be measured by championships. Zeke has done his part and the team is a much more dangerous offensive threat because he is on it. He is a well fitting part of the puzzle. The missing piece of the puzzle has been the coaching. Zeke's only detriment is the amount of money he demands and that ain't his fault ... it's Jerry's. 'Murica !

Why can't you compare rushing numbers between now and the 90s? The season is still 16 games and rushing rules are virtually the same, sans lowering your head which changed last year. If it was related to the passing game I would agree with you as PI and what defenders can do is a lot different.

Because the game is different. I am not certain how you are but in todays games, you have way more snaps on Offense then you ever did, even when Emmitt played. The Defenses today are really not built to stop the run. They are built to defend the pass. The Defenses that Emmitt played against when he was coming up were just different. Was a much more physical game in those days. You could target the football with your helmet, you could target the head, you could actually target the center and play him heads up on the snap. You could gang tackle. You could actually finish off ball carriers. So many things are different now in how the game is actually played, that effect the stats.
