Video: LeVeon Bell vs Zeke. Who's better?

[Cowboy89]

Zeke is the answer on a Cowboys forum. Bell is the answer on a Steelers forum.

I'll say Zeke. Bell is great but has off field issues and is injury prone.

If somebody just watched that video and didn't know anything else about them, I think that person would pick Zeke.

They have a lot of similarities, but one huge difference is their long speed. You can see that Zeke is way faster just by watching the game footage. He also tested way faster in the forty; although, Bell actually had a better 10-yard time but only by 0.01 seconds.

Bell is used way more as a receiver than Zeke was used as a receiver in 2016; however, Zeke will likely get more opportunities as a receiver in the future.

You can't just say Bell used more as a receiver but next year Zeke will be on that level.

Bell is one of the best recievers in the league regardless of position.

He was one reception off of our leading receiver even with the suspension and the leading receiver in the NFL on his team lol

 

[Hoofbite]

I'll take Zeke even if he was slightly "worse" just because he's not moments away from a suspension at any given time.

 

[Thomas82]

Just give me Zeke and I'll be satisfied.

Bell is a beast. So is Zeke.
Bell's style is real different, as we all know. Only thing with him is, his patience is almost too much sometimes. In some of those runs, there's a hole already there and he still waits. But he's so big, strong, and fast that it doesn't even matter. I have to go Bell right now. He's basically a top-notch WR, too. He's a top 3 player in the league.

But I do think Zeke will get there. And we should be throwing him the ball more. He's a great receiver. Something I feel we didn't utilize enough.

Bell has better taste in friends.

 

[Longboysfan]

Each fits their teams offense perfectly.

I will say Zeke can get more hard inside yards after contact.

 

[Yakuza Rich]

It's very close right now, but I think EE will learn how to be a great pass receiver as he has already shown the skills. If I had a 'grind it out' type of game where the defense was greatly protecting against the run, I would take EE. Bell's pass receiving skills are the only real advantage I see at this point.

One jumps in a Salvation Army Kettle........one does not.

No brainer.

Bell for sure currently, and I'm not sure how it's arguable. Only thing standing in Zekes way though is track record and usage. He's at worst third in the league, and should be number one with a bullet if leaned on like bell and DJ

I also don't get this talk. Zeke led the league in carries. But apparently he's not leaned on

Cowboys forum = you have your answer

Incorporating passing. he had 30 more carries than DJ but 80 less targets.

60 more carries than leveon but 50 less targets with bell missing 4 games.

Those two guys are outright focal points of the offense, and with that type of usage for zeke this isn't even a conversation.

 

[Nova]

Bell should be considered better, but I really don't like his running style.

I would take Zeke over Bell at the moment, but not going to argue that Zeke is better.

We ran fewer overall plays than both of those offenses. Not only is it unclear if Zeke is the type of receiver that DJ and Bell are....but there were fewer total passes to go around to incorporate him even if we wanted to.

If you want to runa methodical pace, slow the game down and ride your running game....you can't then turn around and be made that the counting stats aren't as high in other offenses.

He led the league in rushing and didn't really take over the position until week 3 and then missed 1.5 games at the back half ot he season for rest.

He wasn't underutilized. He was a workhorse. And to say that he wasn't the focal point of our offense is an absolute joke.

No ones mad. I didn't say whether or not zeke could be that type of receiver just that he's currently not given the same opportunities. Actually I did say that if he had the same amount of targets we wouldn't be having this conversation. Explaining to me the differences in the offense is really irrelevant when the point is that they received those additional touches no matter how they were manufactured. zeke led the league in rushing, DJ led the league in yards from scrimmage and with a full slate leveon would have destroyed both. They're all three pretty damn close, but two have a bigger workload.

 

[BlueNSilver88]

Zeke; he is younger and is not a suspension away from missing significant playing time like Bell is.

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

I take Zeke because he hasn't had multiple suspensions and is currently more of a sure thing to line up for a full season.
