I have to say Hunt didn't impress me today; Zeke is a lot tougher

Hunt is a great all around back who does everything pretty well.

He just doesn't have that special athleticism that Zeke does.

Bright future for Hunt. I wish him well. Seems like a great dude.

Fair post. My point is that Zeke is super natural tough and Hunt isn't. He was a non factor after Hitchens and Lee did the Malachi crunch on him at the end of the 3rd qtr.

I also right after that said Zeke is a better back. Him and Hunt this season are of the same caliber. If you remember Zeke struggled out the gate. Hunt came out the gate swinging. Hunt didn't just luck into leading the league in rushing.
So Zeke is better. We agree. Zeke is far better; on that we probably disagree.

Hunt had more yards per carry than Zeke and only had 9 carries lol. Andy Reid got incredibly out coached today. No one will say that because everyone hates Garrett but he let Garrett outcoach him today and it wasn't close.

That’s a useless and disingenuous stat. When you have 6 carries for 8 yards at the half and receive only three in the 2nd half as a result a decent carry can inflate things quickly. Zeke ran with purpose, consistently made something out of nothing. Converted short yardage can situations and scores. Along with everything else I mentioned.

Lol, “Zeke is super tough...”

What will your next insights bring? “Zeke can beat up Superman!”

That must be your dad in the photo because you post like a 9-year old.

Not even lol. I think Zeke is far better too. I just don't want to slight what Hunt has done but at the same time I realize Zeke is a exceptional back and at times gets taken for granted for.

I don’t think anyone is slighting Hunt. Just championing zeke after hunt was anointed and zeke was roundly criticized early. It’s a knee jerk league

Never slighted Hunt but I agree some have.

and it was very obvious in the game today. Hunt got sandwiched by Lee and Hitchens with 2 min. to go in the 2nd qtr. and he disappeared the rest of the game. Zeke was in full beast mode. Just unreal.

If it’s 3rd and 1 and you need that tough hard, Zeke is the guy you want. It’s hard not to be impressed. He reminds me of his rottweiler- he’s all muscle, powerful legs, athletic.

He’s the perfect running back for this offense.

Zeke averaged 3.7 yards per carry running behind the best offensive line in football.

Hunt averaged 4.1 yards per carry.

I thought Zeke played just fine -- nothing special.

With that said, I'd take Zeke 10 times out of 10 over Hunt.

Yeah that’s true. I tend to block out moronic statements and not apply them to the overall discussion. If you think it warrants reply though, have a ball

Again. Ypc is not relevant. Randle dwarfed Murray’s ypc in his mvp year. Zeke had a number of very impressive short yardage carries. Stop it

More like your midsection.

But yes we get it; Cowboys rule and all other players suck.

Now go jump-in your Cowboy underoos and go to bed.

Its almost like hes on a Cowboys board, celebrating a victory and pointing out our players are better than thiers. Smh, what a loser.

I really love this post. Enough that my wife got annoyed with me.

“Who are you talking to? What’s so funny?”

He should change his name to Mike...

I'm surprised that as great as Zeke is he doesn't have more break away runs that go for huge chunks of yardage.

And a single game isn't indicative of how Hunt has played all year, yet we have a thread started with someone saying he didn't impress today...

Hunt is considered by many to have taken the Chiefs offense to the next level. Both Smith and Hunt have been brought up in MVP talks.

Both Hunt and Zeke are good backs and Hunt has been on a tear whether it's on the ground or through the air.
