Will this be a bounce back year for Zeke Elliott?

I think we he'll get bunch yardage if instead of running it up the gut every first down we employ draws on second down. With our passing offense we should be able to get the Dline to rush in wrecklessly trying to get to Dak and let Zeke blow right by them and get a head start against DBs

he hasn't had a bad year. but he also hasn't had a marquee year since 2016 imo. so there are degrees of eliteness here. he should be the premiere back in the league, and he is not, currently. so a bounce back would be reclaiming that position with authority. here's hoping.

Has he been trying to bounce back ever since his rookie season?

Its like having the best punter or kicker in the league, the Raiders did it.
Yes the RB position is more important than any kicker, but marginally.
Zeke is a luxury pick, he makes this running game less of a headache, that is all.
Can be replaced easily, with proper drafting, but Zeke takes away a headache, rather than trying to replace one player with 3.
So just enjoy the luxury ride,, Jerry learned yet another lesson in his advanced age.
Never pay a 2nd contract to any running back, ever.

even though I devalue the rb position, and am not in favor of Zeke's big contract, this is a horrible take. Extremely bad.

Exactly. We need our superstars to actually be superstars. We don’t need them to be not bad, pretty good, not the problem, etc. We need them to maximize their potential and, IMO, Zeke has not done that.

Your take, but I respect it.
RB wear down, they rarely ever "bounce" back.

He will grind it out and gets his yardage.
I want to see some runs for huge gains.
