31 teams every year will lose their last game of the season.

I understand your point, but its not true. Many non-playoff teams win their last game of the season.

Well.....you can argue that if your team is missing the playoffs and decides to win that last game.....it’s a loss in regards to draft position lol.

Appreciate the post. I wouldn't have seen this otherwise.

Zeke being left off that top 25 list was ridiculous, but he gets less respect from some members on this board. "Zeke is fat"..."Zeke is slow"...some of the stuff I read here is asinine.

But even Zeke gets more respect than Dak. Dak is Dak, he's not Brees and he's not Brady, but we have posters who talk about him like he's Tim Tebow or Quincy Carter. Again, asinine.

Agree 100%.

Always assumed the Zeke is fat stuff was just dudes ripping on him, you know breaking balls just to do so. Dude is a beast, no way half the board is seriously thinking he’s fat.

lol 2 things Will Cain cant help himself from allowing to sneak into his shows - his Cowboy fandom and his personal politics

Why is it either or?
Zeke was fat last year. That doesn't take away from what he did or him being a great player. He could have been even greater without the weight.
He took himself out the game almost after every long run, and some short ones.

Posters act like criticism means you're relegating a star player into an average one. Even stars have flaws.

So far from what I've seen this year, Zeke appears slimmer. I think this will serve him well and will make him an even better runner this year.

If Zeke was fat last season, I'm a serious lard ***. IMO he's just a tank. I don't see anything lacking with him so far. People on here point to the lack of long runs (not saying you) but those are usually the result of bad defense rather than the homerun speed of the back.

So a fat guy led the league in rushing while also leading the Cowboys in receptions. Okie dokie, tyke.

I know what you mean by this, but it actually isn’t correct. Many teams that fail to reach the playoffs win their last game.

After posting this, I see someone beat me to my meaningless point!

Yes. Does that sound strange?
How about 1,000 yard rushers Ironhead Hayward, Jerome Bettis, Jamal Lewis (2,000 yards). All big backs.
Just because Zeke was the leading rusher doesn't mean he didn't get fat. He did. He was heavier than he was the previous year. Everyone should have been able to see that.
It's not an either or. He was both good but he was fatter. He may be even better being slimmer.

When he had long runs, he often took himself out of games. Whether this means he gets tired carrying the weight, I don't know. But it seems like it.
Zeke is a great running back, no question. Could he be better with less weight? Maybe.
It appeared he was tired more often than previous years. But we shall see.

Fair enough I just think all backs have that issue. Running against an NFL defense has to be exhausting.

He is the reason we have winning seasons since he was drafted. Almost every win is an extension of his efforts.
