Saquan Barkley is ranked ahead of him, which I think is a mini-travesty. Zeke had more rushing yardage than Barkley. He should have been ranked higher than SB. But maybe the Giants didn't have anyone ranked among the 100 best players and Dallas had eight (Zeke, Martin, Smith, DLaw, Jones, Jaylon, Cooper and LVE.) so the list gave SB the sympathy nod and ranked him ahead of Zeke.

I don't really care what order they're in on this useless ranking, but it's not so cut and dry.

Saquon averaged more yards per carry on a far worse team with a worse oline. He also scored 15 TD's to Zeke's 9.

So Barkley had more scores on fewer carries, higher YPC, more yards from scrimmage and his team was awful. He also didn't fumble a single time, to Zeke's 6.

He also gets bonus points for not having been accused of domestic violence just yet, I'm sure.

Also, AP introduced him on the episode as the greatest RB of his adult life.

How funny would it be for Jerry to pound the table RE the top 100 as his basis for Zeke to not get top money...

“Well, Zeke, as can clearly be seen, you’re not even the 3rd best RB. Then we factor in your off-field problems... we can give you 8 per year.”

Saquon had more total yards than Zeke last year. He had more TDs than Zeke last year. He averaged more per rush attempt and more per catch than Zeke last year. He had fewer fumbles than Zeke last year. He did all this while playing behind a worse offensive line.

Don’t do that man. You’ll put some fans in the laughable position of saying our o-line was actually worse than the Giants in an effort to try and discredit Barkley.

Funny thing is if you start a separate unrelated thread simply comparing offensive lines these same fans will claim it’s not even close...out o-line > the Giants o-line.

Yeah, but those are just empty stats...

Cuz, Zeke's...um ... he's the best at.. er.. .... well.... Saquon sure as hell can't push down 130 lb security guards like Zeke can; that's for damn sure...

SB is like Barry in that he'll have a day where he does basically nothing and then breaks one long run and people just look at his overall yardage and think he's great. They don't realize half his yards came on one play.

Zeke is like Emmitt. He won't consistently be breaking 60yd TDs, but he'll consistently get you 5-6 yards which I feel is more helpful overall.

Yep Barry never showed up in the playoffs but he's a better RB than Emmitt. :rolleyes:

Barry never got to the playoffs (except when they curb stomped Emmitt and the boys) because the guys he was looking at in the huddle looked nothing like Jimmy, Troy, Irvin, and the Great Wall... but let’s pretend it was because of the RB.:rolleyes:
Another high IQ gem from the PA Cowboy Troll.

They went to the play-offs 5 times during his career.

Barry may not have been surrounded by HOFers but it's a myth that the entire team was terrible besides him.

How you doing troll? Long time no see. I see you're just as miserable as ever. Back to the ignored area for you. Why anyone pays attention to you I don't know. Maybe they like the sport. Cheer up better days are coming. :laugh::lmao:

The entire team was what it was... a fringe playoff team at best.
Forget offense... starting in 1992, the Cowboys has a top 5 defense for five straight years. Would you care to look up the Lions rank during that period?
