Is Zeke a top 3 running back?

[Toruk_Makto]

That’s what they said about emmitt

Wake me up when Zeke is all time leading rusher and in the hall of fame.

Yes. Close thread...

I wouldn't degrade Geeks, they are obviously much more intelligent than you, correct?

Here we go with the feminine and girly disrespectful bs. Grow up

 

[keysersoze]

what a hilarious response..coming from the guy who has absolutely zero clue what he is talking about..you obviously don't watch the competition..

here are some facts for you...chew on that...you gotta be blind to think Barkley is better than Zeke

Exactly. Barkley gets stuffed all game long and breaks a couple long runs late in the game with his team well behind on the scoreboard and the opposing defense expecting pass plays. He is not a constant grinder who can just pound the rock for 60 minutes.

Here we go with the feminine and girly disrespectful bs. Grow up

1. You try to disrespect other
2. You get asked a disrespectful question back
3. You play victim and claim it's girly

Very feminine of you to play victim after getting it turned around on you. You have some growing up to do

He’s not likely to ever catch emmitt in yards
That record will stand a long time for two reasons. Mainly few guys can stay healthy long enough and the league is becoming more pass oriented
He does have a shot at HOF if he can put together about 5 more years like the first few
But the point is both players success was always said to be about the oline, not them

If Zeke were playing for any other team with his stats, he would be lauded. Some of our fans fall for the "Skip Bayless Effect". If it is said, it is believable.

Whatever happened to the kind of player that when he felt like he is/was being disrespected he shuts up and makes everyone pay on the field and proves em all wrong?

They left when the new CBA came in

Without a fake suspension he’d have 3 rushing titles in 3 seasons. Hard to put anyone ahead of a guy who leads the league in rushing every year he plays.

Being the best running back is way more than just having a ton more carried than everyone else

 

[JW82]

Here is the list of backs with more yards per game for their career...Jim Brown. List over.
Throw in great out of the backfield and great in pass pro. Yeah I’ll take him.

Again, being the best means more than having the most carries per game.

Great out of the the backfield is subjective, he's an above average receiver but that's the extent of it. Even he wouldn't argue he's a top 20 receiving back.

And it's true....

Rbs are extremely dependent on the talent around them. Moreso than any other position.

It was true for Smith like it is true for Elliot.

It's why.... In addition to the other things you mentioned....makes it unwise to invest in a rb. We made the mistake when we drafted him. Let's not make the same mistake again by paying him.

If they extend the number of games in a regular season he could blow that record up.

You thought citing the most elusive back to ever live was going to help your argument how?

It proves the point that not all RBs are solely dependant or extremely dependant on everything around them. There are other examples, but that one RB proves your theory inaccurate.

They left when the new CBA came in

And when they stopped keeping score because it might hurt someone's feelings.

Most backs only have so many carries in them
Zeke gets so many I expect by 28-29 he’s gonna be done
