Bell vs Zeke

[Irvin88_4life]

They certainly do their Center Pouncey when healthy is one of the top 5 in the league so you're right their Oline isn't chopped liver either.

Decastro and Gilbert are very good.

I think Bel is the better player and i'm not sure why you say Zeke is clearly the better pure runner.

Bell seems to maximize literally almost every run. It's incredible.

They are both great, hard to pick really. But I pick Zeke cause of the little things. Its a team sport, and its obvious that he picks up even Dak.

I don't know who wins MVP, don't really care, but Zeke deserves to be our MVP. You can look at Dak, he is all calm, Zeke is the one that gets them happy to play the game. His emotions lead this team, for better or worse.

I guess these Bell supporters just conveniently forgot he has about half the number of rushing TD's as Zeke.

But they'll also argue that's because he's been suspended or injured.

Thinking that being able to not worry about scoring a TD from the 1 yard line bothers me. We don't have to worry with Zeke, so thats not a luxury?? I hate people.

Bell was suspended, can't give credit to someone who couldn't even show up.

If this is a repeat thread just disregard it. I was on Facebook earlier in the day and a poster who is not a Cowboys fan by the way posed this question about whose the better RB between Zeke and Bell? Unanimously most picked Bell over Zeke citing that same tired line about Zeke having "the best Oline in football" nonsense and how Bell is the best overall RB and Zeke is not even close garbage. I was being very complimentary about both guys and this Steelers fan debated with me that Bell runs better pass routes and is a much patient RB than Zeke so I reminded this fan that Zeke outperformed his boy Bell in the regular season game. Not trying to beat a horse but who do you guys think is the better RB honestly?

David Johnson.

You might want to throw David Johnson into the mix while you're at it.

I'm happy with Zeke.

 

[9darter]

Sadly, I much prefer Bell's running style. Hate that he's a Steeler.

But they'll also argue that's because he's been suspended or injured.

His suspension was only 3 games not half the season.

 

[Section446]

Give me either one. Only reason I'd give Elliott the lead is that he's yet to be suspended, and he's a lot cheaper for the next few years.

 

[Scotman]

I've heard all this before.

None of the 92, 93 or 95 Cowboys were great players. They just benefited from the great players they played with.

I'd take Zeke his burst has defenses constantly concerned

Bell vs Zeke is the new Sanders vs Smith. Same argument today as it was then.

Exactly @viman96 me and this Steelers fan had this debate yesterday on Facebook about whose better and of course he was very biased with Bell saying that Zeke benefited from a great Cowboys Oline nonsense case in point the last time we played against his Steelers team Zeke outlasted Bell that day.

It's scary that Zeke looks like the better player right now just as a rookie. Zeke in his third year will probably break 2,000 yards. Zeke is better now and the upward trajectory is crazy to think about. Bell is patient and all that but it definitely ends up costing him sometimes. He had a game this year with 14 carries for 32 yards. That's gonna happen sometimes when those holes aren't there. I prefer Zeke's fall-forward, powerful running style better. But he also has the explosiveness once he gets in the open field. And the whole receiving argument in Bell's favor is kinda ridiculous. They just use him differently and more frequently in the pass game. Put Zeke in the same situations and he's getting more receiving yards than Bell. One of the few screen passes he's gotten this year, ironically against the Steelers, went for 80+ yards to the house. Bell is definitely the second best back in the league though, with David Johnson not too far behind.

 

[DogFace]

It's very close. I'll take Zeke. Although, Bell can drink and drive and smoke tons of weed and avoid long suspensions. So that's a plus.
