Is Zeke still a top 5 RB?

[CowboyRoy]

Im just curious who still believes this?

 

[GMO415]

Not when he coughs the ball up every week.

 

[Majic]

Not right now

C-Mac
A.Jones
D.Cook
A.Kamara
D.Henry

 

[Tussinman]

He still might make pro bowl and top five, only because the injuries are god-awful this year

Just off the top of my head Chubb, barkley, and McCaffrey are all injured. Gurley, Johnson, and Bell are all completely washed up. Carson is trying to play through a knee sprain but is in obvious pain

Value has faded.

A great offensive line can make an average running back into an all pro. A bad offensive line can make an all pro look like an average running back. I think I have a pretty good idea which is the case in Dallas.....

 

[fivetwos]

He COULD be if he wanted it.

Bet he is pretty good in 2022 after he sees 19, 54 and 90 get sent packing after 21.

I thought so before season start but you can’t put him there with his fumbling issues. Also I don’t think Moore is good with run design/scheme and a Oline is not good. But Zeke is responsible for ball protection and he is not holding ball tight against his body. I also believe the long sleeves make for a slicker service on the ball.

If you put all of the NFL RB's in the draft and a balanced NFL offensive team had the #1 pick what RB in the NFL do you think goes 1?

Hasn’t been since 2016. As people are starting to realize, he’s below average without a great O line. Great players create plays, he doesn’t. The stats and evidence have been there forever and the O line has been masking his deficiencies but his panty sniffers refused to believe it.

I have said many times on here that I would take a handful of back over Zeke. And to me the fumbling isnt really even a consideration. I dont consider him a fumbler.

Moore on the other hand I actually like as an OC. I think he has done some good things considering.

With the state of the Oline, tought to run the ball and do anything to be honest.

We're not even half way through this Godawful season. Lets wait and see.

In todays NFL.

McCaffrey, easy.

 

[MyFairLady]

Statistically he is one of the worst, if not the worst, starting RB in the entire league. But I know how some of you just love the fact that he will run into things every now and then.

Jacobs, Chubb............any others? Personally, I take Mixon as well.

I haven't seen blocking as an issue for Zeke's struggles.


We've been forced to throw the ball a ton because of how far we fall behind in games..

Passing gets you the lead and running closes games. We never have a lead.

He's lacked volume.

 

[cowboyblue22]

zeke has pretty much slipped out to the top ten

 

[CATCH17]

The same reason Dak has passed for a million yards is the same reason Zeke hasn't rushed for a million yards.

I don't think he's even close anymore. He was great as a rookie but it's been all downhill since then.

Can never break a long run. Fumbles too much. Slow to hit the hole. Dallas would be better off trying to get rid of him in the off-season.

He's not even top 10 right now.

He's still top 10 regardless of his fumbling issues and lower attempts.
