Is Zeke a top 3 running back?

[aria]

Since he was drafted he leads the league in yards gained

So again, are you saying that whichever RB has the most yards for that season makes him the best? You still have yet to acknowledge how much of a difference the O line makes and that Barkley played behind a much worse line. You’ve also failed to acknowledge that Barkley had a better YPC average than Zeke. You’ve also failed to acknowledge that Zeke had 6 fumbles and Barkley had zero. Does any of that matter because you make it seem like the only deciding factor that makes Zeke the best is his total yards.

I will take Zeke right now over any other rb. But I do want to see him get less carries( especially right up the center's butt) to help with wear and tear on his body.

That is the way it is supposed to work To be the best you have to play like the best and Zeke is doing it

He’s very good but not the best IMO and I have no idea what that statement is supposed to mean.

So playing like the best is fumbling the ball significantly more than any other RB, having a worse ypc average than you’re closest competitor while running behind a much better O line and having the most yards because of carrying the ball significantly more than any other back?

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.

You got a good point there about Barkley. He doesnt have an online though and he likes to run east and west too much. He is an extreme talent and he will get better.

You are arguing just to argue

Zeke is a top 5 RB in this league!

Some of these comments are so ridiculous it’s almost as if some of you have only watched Barkley play once or twice so I’ll help ya’ll out. Here’s a random hi light video I just googled. As you can see, when Barkley actually has a running lane he hits it which is contrary to what some people think. He also makes a lot of payers miss when he doesn’t have running lanes and that is one of the main reasons I think he is better than Zeke. Zeke can make defenders miss here and there but he is much more of a vertical runner and he wouldn’t have near the total yards Barkley did if he played behind that same line due to that reason.

That’s pretty much what this entire site is based off of and you still continue to dodge the questions.

Nope you refuse to accept the correct answer. Zeke is the best in the NFL his numbers prove it

So are you going to continue ignoring my questions or not? We can disagree but lets at least have a somewhat intelligent debate. You refuse to answer any of my questions and respond with an answer I would expect from a 5 year old.

What numbers prove it? Overall yards, yards per carry, certainly you’re not referring to his fumbles numbers, rushing yards, receiving yards? Use your words man, debate like an adult.

who said anything about a theory. layman have a tendency to forever call a discovery a theory because that is the way it must first be presented. the theory of special relativity. the theory of general relativity. both long since proven to be facts. but many still call them theories because the original papers were titled thusly. the list is long.

well you mentioned science and said it is never swayed by opinions. I introduced scientific theories, which is still science, as part of a rebuttal.

Perfect! Barkley had more total yards and more receiving yards than Zeke which makes Barkley better based on both statistics you used as the measuring stick. Glad we can finally agree!

You’re out of your element dude, bring forth a reasonable argument or just stop, you’re only making yourself look worse.

GP, are you saying since he leads the league in yards gained since he was drafted, that he's the best RB currently?

So with Jordan Howard being 3rd in that time span, he is the 3rd best RB in the league?
