It can no longer be denied Zeke seems slow and not focused

I think him getting Covid is affecting his endurance.

Could be. I've seen lots of reports of Covid causing extensive *long term* lung and cardiovascular damage.

If even a little of that happens to a professional athlete, that's a huge knock to guys fighting at the edge of human performance.

Guy I work with had Covid. He's fit and an avid runner (multiple marathons) in his early 40s. He still has issues after 4 months. He says he runs out of breath walking up 2 flights of stairs.

Obviously this guy isn't on Zeke's level when it comes to fitness. Zeke is much younger and is an elite athlete but it's possible and somewhat likely Covid has affected him physically.

I think NFL was new and exciting as a rookie but he’s been coasting and on a gradual decline ever since. No surprise that the decline has accelerated since getting paid.

If only someone on this forum had been pounding the table and telling folks what to expect.... RB is a function of the offensive line.

Always has been. Always will be.

Except for the rarest of breeds. Think All Day. Zeke he is not.

New contract hasn't even kicked in yet...

Jerry will rue the day he caved on this bum.

I remember watching Zeke in 2016 and thinking he was going to flame out in 3-4 years. He flamed out even faster than Marian Barber. I still can't believe Jerry gave him that contract. Worst decision ever.

Maybe that's why he held out when he did. he KNEW how fast he was fading and didn't think he could wait to try to get paid

Elliott still is generally good at finding creases and squeezes out dirty yards but he also doesn’t look anything like the rookie with burst who ran with zip and passion.

Eh.... he was missing holes all night. I think he sees holes his body can no longer get through..

Not sure if it’s just too many touches and carries in a short career, or if he’s gained weight, or if he just does not have the same heart but it’s undeniable he’s a shadow of what he use to be .
There were plays tonight where he did not even hit the right hole . He’s Becoming a 90 million dead weight,

There was a couple of runs he almost broke..but it's always "almost" with him in the last year. He's got two years left in him, we can get out of that contract

I once argued on here about 'you dont draft a RB in the 1st round. He was right I was wrong.

I’m a big Zeke fan and I’ll admit, even his blocking has been below par. Major bummer. Breaks no tackles
