Now do receptions.

Or is that too big of a sample size?
Passing to the halfback is the least efficient pass play in football.

Having said that:

Zeke ranked 24th among tailbacks in yards per route run as a rookie, didn't qualify his 2nd year and ranked 18th last year. Zeke isn't exactly Marshall Faulk out the backfield.

How is Henry at blocking? Is he a threat in the passing game? Henry is great running with the ball, but there's more to look at when comparing the two.
Now is the time to remember Zeke made 25MM to Henry's 5MM on their rookie contracts and that's before we talk about the 90MM extension Zeke just signed.

Lmao. Exactly. Last 500 carries is cherry picking at its finest. There is more to a RB than just his carries. Zeke is better overall by far than Henry. And I am a fan of Henry. But he reminds me of Marion Barber. His style of running won't be long for this league.

Imagine being attacked as a partisan for providing facts. It's not my fault if they make you uncomfortable.

In any statistical study with the two subjects being so new you'd heavily weight their most recent performance right?

And imagine someone thinking someone's last 500 carries was cherry picking. Amazing.

In any statistical study you can manipulate the data to say anything you want. Stats are meaningless without context. Look at the whole picture.

But it's not Henry vs. Zeke. It's Zeke and Collins vs. another 1st rounder and Henry in the 3rd.

Considering what we've got from Collins and how much Zeke costs...

Henry went in the 2nd to the Titans & wouldn’t have dropped to us in the 3rd. We would have had to give up drafting Jaylon Smith to take Henry instead.


For what it’s worth, there was no player in that entire draft I wanted more than Derrick Henry and think he might have rushed for 2,000 yards in a season for us by now...
