Jeus f’in christ! Can anyone else see this link or has Ronnie become so low that now he’s claiming video evidence doesn’t work instead of admitting he’s wrong? You’re a scum bag Ronnie.

Anyone have a problem seeing this?

Ronnie, no one cares that you have it saved. I don’t care what you did in college. The evidence is in the proof that I provided, just admit your wrong sister.
Ronnie is right in this instance....you need to chill man this is not a good look.

And that's been my argument but you can't tell these guys nothing.

FACtor in his piss poor offensive line for most of the year, he contracted Covid, lost Dak....he's not having that bad of a season. I'd like to think at this point in his career this is his floor not his ceiling.
I don't get why we can't cheer him on.

Why do people think it's cool to hate on him for it? They think it makes them special?

I know...it's because people suck.

Compare it with the league
Josh Jacobs is at 3.8 yards a carry.

Based on carries that he gets....its pretty much par for the course....

Mind you this isn't Zeke's best year this is his floor. At least I hope it is. So knowing that.......

Out of guys who get the majority of their teams carries......

Josh Jacobs is 3.8.
Kenyon Drake is 4.0.
James Robinson is 4.5.
Montgomery is 4.4.
Taylor is 4.5.....

You also don't care that the game film itself proves what I am saying is true. If you have evidence that "proves" anything it's that you only see what you want to see.. You want to get into a junior high name calling contest now because you've been shown to be a blind Cowboy hater? Good luck with that..
When they don't have a leg to stand on....they resort to name calling like a child like they can't control themselves.....

Yep...he's lost his mind about it...I mean...how can this be enjoyable for him?

THIS...is supposed to be FUN.

I have no idea where this is coming from. I get earlier in his career he was a lot to handle......seems like he got his life together off the field......I personally don't get it unless he took their wife or girlfriend or something....

4.1 ypc is what he averaged in 2017, not sure if anyone called it abysmal then. I wouldnt call it abysmal now either. 3.7 or below is abysmal.

Shoot..... Eddie George averaged 3.7 ypc the year he was first team All-Pro. He never averaged more than 4.1 his entire career.

....because he was inconsistent in 2017 and had a few abysmal games. He had 4 games below 4 YPC, one game he didn't even average a single yard, and had 3 games where he barely average 4.

Eddie George played in a different era, you compare players to their peers. In 2017, with RBs with a similar amount of carries, it looked like this

Kareem Hunt - 4.9
Mark Ingram - 4.9
Todd Gurley - 4.7
Alex Collins - 4.7
Marshawn Lynch - 4.3
Jay Ajayi - 4.2
Jordan Howard - 4.1
C.J. Anderson - 4.1
Ezekiel Elliott - 4.1
Melvin Gordon - 3.9
Leonard Fournette - 3.9
Carlos Hyde - 3.9
Lamar Miller - 3.7

Zeke was pretty average in 2017, and this was when he was starting to show he didn't have the homerun hitting ability he had in his rookie year. We didn't draft him to be average and he's not being paid average RB money.

If you are arguing Zeke is overpaid....you’ll get no argument from me. That’s not what we were discussing though.
I think we are. Zeke is not being paid to be a 1000 yard rusher. The two are definitely connected.
Your original comment was that once Zeke reaches 1000 yards, it’s going to make some of us cry. I assume from this comment that you think that the 1000 yard barrier is some sort of great milestone and once he gets it he proves all the doubters wrong.

So you’re still refusing to answer the question Ronnie. When and where did the face mask occur? Who initiated contact?
