LOL at this BS. they still won't grade an F. Eli Apple at 10, F-, it's easy and they still won't go there.

True

 

[Sydla]

Really solid Top 8.

All are players. Usually you get a few busts inevitably in the Top 5-6.

Few F’s in there. Apple surely deserves one.

Ah. They graded on the field performance only, ignoring the suspension. A+ when you miss 6 games for suspension? The + seemed overly generous.

There's no denying off-field issues have been a problem for him, resulting in a six-game suspension in 2017, but based purely on how he's performed on the field, he deserves an A+.​

They seemed to ignore Bosa's never ending injuries in his grade also.
They ignored Wentz's injuries and problems with leadership philly is aware of also.
They ignored Jalen Ramseys non stop mouth problem where his organization is close to showing him the door due to his need to give his opinions on everything to every reporter.

Overall it seems they have stuck to mostly on field rankings.
I know you were hoping they knocked Zeke down a notch but they were consistent.

Once again, the suspension is no longer being questioned. It's interesting how many people are using the suspension now to validate their opinion of Zeke.

I don't recall ANYONE here congratulating the league for that decision. The tone at the time was "Zeke got screwed"", "The NFL hates the Cowboys", etc..

Suddenly, the suspension seems justified.

A+ player with a C minus attitude.

Attitude is not exact ally where I put it. At times maybe self management or professionalism. His attitude towards football is awesome.

 

[superonyx]

Did you not read the last line when he said," based purely on how he's performed on the field, he deserves an A+."

See this is the kind of post that makes no one miss you when you're gone for weeks and weeks at a time.

Didn't miss that part at all. Nothing I said would lead any rational person to assume I missed it.
But you needed to try to find something so you feel redeemed for the shots landed on you. I get it. But try harder next time.

 

[glimmerman]

More interested in this year. Is he gonna show up. Is JJ gonna give in.

A+ player with a C minus brain.

Fixed it for you

Is that a joke? The pick gets a C for sure. Suspensions, off the field problems, drunken behavior, quitting during a game, holdout out with 2 years left on his contract.

Nothing A+ about his performance last year.

Huh? Zeke led the league in rushing, what more do you want?

 

[CowboyRoy]

Huh? Zeke led the league in rushing, what more do you want?

Only because he led the league in Carries by a long shot. Only scored 7 rushing TD's and his running efficiency especially on short yardage and GL was way down. What did he have 30 yards in the playoff loss to the rams?

Rushing yards is about 10 years old when judging a RB. There are only about 4 or 5 RB's these days that get the majority of the carries for an NFL team. Not a big deal to win the rushing title in a league where most team are by committee. Its also a passing league now so many of these RB's catch a lot of passes. Total yards from scrimmage and TD's are the big ones for a RB. Are they picking up the 3rd and 4th downs and getting in at the GL.
