Not my point. He's not a HOF back and never will be was all I was saying.

HOF backs get schemed against and still produce against quality competition. If we've learning anything from this year he didn't do that.

Certainly better coaching will help next year, but he's not going to put up the numbers for Canton IMO. I don't think he has the drive for it, and the way he runs now is going to limit his longevity too. That's all I was pointing out.
He didn't do that? Name a game when he had significant carries and opportunities and failed?

Name all the times we schemed him open and he missed the hole completely?

Seriously.. I just can't even

How could you or I possibly know this unless we were aware of what the actual schemes were and where he was supposed to go vs. where he did?

My only point is that in several notable games he really wasn't a factor until the game had gotten away from the team. And in the most important game of the season against a MASH unit PHI defense he managed 3.6 yards per carry.

Again, my point here isn't "Zeke sucks!!!!" and I'm not even going to get into whether should he have been drafted or signed to a huge extension. But if you think what you have been watching out there the past couple of seasons is HOF worthy I think you are severely underestimating what it takes to get into the HOF.
