Opinion: Zeke Leads NFL in Fumbles ,Drops, QB Hits allowed

[fivetwos]

So we have one of the highest paid RBs who sucks, one of the highest paid DEs who can't get to the QB, one of the highest paid WRs who is invisible most of the time, the highest paid OL who all are hurt or retired, a highly paid LBer who, well who knows what the hell he is doing from play to play, and just cut all the free agent signings. yeah, everything is good and no drastic changes are needed.

Wish I could give this 100 likes.

There will actually be people here that blast you for saying that.

Pretty sure Jerry is paying people to defend his empire online. No other real explanation.

Nicely said though.

Sounds like a triple crown candidate!

Winning!

Fumbles are concerning. However, if you don't see the bigger picture of hits allowed, and drops then you're not watching. How many guys does he need to block for this Oline? How many barely catchable throws out of desperation from the QB should he be required to catch? Not defending his pay. As much as I love him, that salary is killing us. In hindsight, it wasn't a terrible decision based on the quality of line pay/age at the time.

I disagree. Jerry rewarded him for holding out two years before he had to be paid. Now we are stapled to a cap crippling contract for an aging, fat RB.

I’ve said multiple times I wish we traded him to a team with a bad O line because it would be eye opening for some of you to see how not great he really is, unfortunately he didn’t have to be traded to see it.

Not the kind of stats one wants to be the leader in...

 

[fifaguy]

Where's Crawford?

 

[Asklesko]

Not what Jerry had in mind when he signed Zeke to be a league-leading running back

Clueless on these stats......

Fumbles
Joe Burrows has 8 fumbles
Derek Carr has 6
Elliott, Daniel Jones, and Wentz have 5

https://www.footballdb.com/statistics/nfl/player-stats/fumbles/2020

Drops
Elliott and Schultz have 3 each (along with two others)

https://scores.nbcsports.com/fb/leaders.asp?type=Receiving&range=NFL&rank=232

Don't even know where to look for QB hits allowed.....

How can this guy not be a liability on the field and in cap space. And he was bad last year as well.

If anyone calls this guy a top 5 back or even top 10 anymore, they should just delete their account.

Simply cant put QB fumbles in there with RB's. QB's fumble because the Oline sucks. RB's fumble because they cough the ball up.

Zake case is a classic proof that JJ and his son lack vision and common sense

"Oh wait, Gary. I apologize QBs are part of the NFL. My mistake. In the future, I promise to check my facts before trying to prove how right I am." -signed "I can't read a headline in bold Roy"

Guessing I simply can, huh?

I seriously hope this begins to teach the old man a lesson to not attempt to be friends with these guys.

They will let you down one way or another.

Settle for your billionaire buddies.

Always suspicious of announcements with no link.

Zeke's catch rate is higher than several players, including notables such as Travis Kelce and Kareem Hunt.

Enjoy the likes for your made up post.

Yes, because the degree of difficulty for passes thrown to RBs is much higher than the route Kelce’s running.

Well surely he didn't mean QB's. Do QB have drops? Do they allow QB hits on themselves? LOL

So you want him to change the title to "Lead RB's"? Your point is a rather a nerdish way to defend the indefensible Zeke.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

A link would be nice.......not doubting the fumbles or drops but never knew there was a stat for RBs allowing QB hits.

You're being obtuse on purpose.

Surely, you aren't trying to read his mind?
I'm smart enough to know I can't read minds.
But I can read posts.

Thanks for defending my nerdness. And the NFL appreciates your understanding as to allowing them to count QBs among the leading players who have fumbled in 2020.
I assume you'll address this at the next owners meeting and explain why they shouldn't?

Another smashing draft success brought to you by Jerry Jones.

Never pay RBs too dollar because they’re a dime a dozen and have short shelf lives.
