Zeke watch - The rushing title is in the bag

[lukin2006]

Zeke is nowhere near an MVP in anything. The league is simply not built around running - Steelers have gone through 3 RBs in a year and each one has produced. Dallas went from Murray to McFadden to Zeke, all put up 1,000 yards

He’s also becoming a fumbler as well

I bet if the Steelers have Bell they don't crash and burn down the stretch.

 

[Aviano90]

Yeah... the "he doesn't make 80 yard runs!" crowd... bunch of clowns.

Leads in the league in 20+ yard rushes. He's a champ. A king.

You get so butt hurt everyone doesn’t drool over Ewok like you do.

Just because you piss vinegar doesn't make you a better fan.

And I'll take unicorns and rainbows over negative nancies who hate life.

Lol, yeah I hate life because I don’t think Zeke is the best RB in the league.

Barkley has 8 games with less than 50 yards.
8 games.
Zeke easily has him in yards after contact.
He isn't any better of a receiver.
Seems like the only stat you are cherry picking is yards per carry...

Nope. Lets look at several stats individually. We’ll start off with fumbles. How many does Zeke have vs Barkley?

 

[aria]

Our OL pretty much blows. Zeke is not running behind a good line. Zeke has a journeyman QB and an OC, yet Zeke keeps on dominating. Go figure.

Last week our O line was graded 6th best. It’s funny how because we don’t have the ‘16 line, and only have two pro bowlers, our O line sucks now

 

[Manwiththeplan]

No it wasn’t... especially the way the rules are now and how the OL was playing..

The rules weren’t drastically different the year before when he suffered two different collar bone injuries

Zeke is probably the closest back to Emmitt Smith.
Their best assets are their vision and patience and balance, while always running forward. Zeke has better speed, but Emmitt had great acceleration, but not type flight speed.

Nobody is going to beat Emmitt on longevity, but Zeke is definitely on pace to become an all time great.

Aikman loves Zeke..

 

[Boyz981]

Check this out. Zeke made Todd Gurley quit. He got tired of chasing him so he no showed the game today.

I'm not surprised. He never had the cranium to get this done.

All hail Ezekiel Elijah Elliott. The Rushing King.

Zeke 1,434
(I'm a wittle) Gurley 1,251
Barkley 1,198

Understand this, if the NFL Commissioner was a man, Zeke would have started his career with three rushing titles his first three years in the league. His numbers with those games missed and the removal of the distraction of the suspension last year would put him at or near the most productive RB in the history of the NFL 3 years into his career.

Sure, he's had a good to great line those three years but he's also played with a God awful QB and no passing game. You play Dallas, you sell out to stop Zeke. He carries the load every week starting week 1 of his rookie year. There is no burden lifted off of him ever.

Special player. He's easily one of the greatest players to ever wear that uniform.

He had a great line his first year! the line is a shell of its self!

 

[ItzKelz]

It’s actually pretty sad that the MVP voting is so slanted towards QB’s.

Because Zeke deserves an MVP award as much as anyone.

MVP RBs get TDs or run for over 2k. Love Zeke but he's no MVP

 

[JReed1000]

You can get a running back just as good in the mid rounds!

True but you can not pass on Blue Chip running backs like Zeke and Barkley...you just don’t...Gurley as well.

 

[eastsideboy]

You can get a running back just as good in the mid rounds!

sometimes you can but you can't deny seek has been everything we could have asked for

 

[big dog cowboy]

Comeback Player of the Year.

I would be shocked if Zeke gets one vote for CPOY.

BTW that award is going to Andrew Luck or JJ Watt.

 

[Sarge]

I bet if the Steelers have Bell they don't crash and burn down the stretch.

Conner put up better numbers than Bell and Samuels has been outstanding. Pitts problems is playcalling.

 

[khiladi]

Zeke isn’t MVP of the league, but he’s definitely MVP of this team.

 

[JohnsKey19]

I give Zeke one series Sunday, then he would sit. Let DJax, Smith and Tavon split the carries.

 

[Falco78]

The biggest what if, is Romo getting a chance to play with Zeke the year he should have gotten his job back. Wasted opportunity and possibly dumbest football decision in history.

I loved Romo, but he he was done. His body was beaten all to hell and back.

Manning played with a fused veterbrae in his neck.. nah..

 

[Falco78]

Lol, yeah I hate life because I don’t think Zeke is the best RB in the league.

While it is questionable who is the best at any position in the league, Zeke is a top 3 whenever on the field. I'd actually have him as an easier number one if he had a top 25% level QB

 

[Falco78]

Manning played with a fused veterbrae in his neck.. nah..

Yes and at what point does that become stupid? "Let me play a few more years and take pain killers/injections/treatments the rest of my life...."

No it means Romo wasn’t anywhere close to what one is claiming and the experts says Romo’s injury was standard football trauma that anybody would have suffered, considered the biomechanics of what cause it, and it isn’t career threatening at all.

Manning on the other hand played with a fused veterebrae in his neck and got a SB out of it.
