I have a friend of mine who played against Zeke in college and he said the same thing Collins said. He claimed he would hit Zeke as hard as he could and he said Zeke was so solid his hits were punishing and Zeke would jump up like it was no big deal. I like Barkley but he dances around too much looking for the home run. He has a lot of negative to no yard carries but he will break a big run a couple times a game. Zeke has gained weight but I think Zeke was at his best his first year in Dallas.

Barkley is a better player. But Elliott is awesome, too, and a fully believe other players would rather tackle Barkley than Zeke.
The thing about Zeke is ... he still runs behind his pads. He will thump you and when you try to brace for that thump, he will hurdle you and make you look like a chump. There just is no winning with Zeke. I wish he wasn't so expensive but there is no denying he is still top 1-2 running backs in the league and to be honest I can't tell you who I would take over him.

With Collins is this sour grapes about the Giants or the truth? Or both?
Either way, IDC, but he seems to still be salty about Gettleman letting him walk

Zeke never gets hurt, Barkley does. Zeke is the better overall RB but the media likes to hype up Barkley as the next big thing yet he has no rushing titles & zeke would’ve easily had 3 if he wasn’t “Goodelled” his sophomore season.
Very well said, you nailed it. Also Zeke is the best blitz pick-up back in the league.

So the 8-8 is Zeke's fault? I've read many times on this forum that it was all Dak's fault.

For many, it is unforgivable, having Zeke and Dak on the team. No matter their success or failures, as a team. There will always be a Zeke and Dak issue. Switch them out with Woodhead and Rivers, you would hear nary a peep, from most of the forum.

Barkley is a more dynamic runner. Receiving wise, they're about equal. Blocking is Zeke hands down. Picking up a tough yard, Zeke is better. Kinda reminds me of the Smith/Sanders debate. The other guys pasture always looks greener.
