McClay: Zeke is still a premier back

[SteveTheCowboy]

Because Dalvin Cook is better and nobody want him either. Because every other team has 3 young guys that aren’t 5 years past their prime, and don’t care about brand over winning

So you don;t really know if what you said is true "literally".

 

[SteveTheCowboy]

A great RB elevates any team.

LOL....hilarious.

Who is saying zeke is "great"? he probably isn't. That doesn;t mean he can;t help this team.

Good morning buddy, hope all your zeke dreams come true today!!

Morning!

I'm rooting for the team...not against zeke.

Zeke got a raw deal? High pick, well paid, extended 2 years early and they immediately regretted it. The only issue was the 6 game suspension but in the grand scheme of things was no big deal.

He was never the same after the bs suspension.
Shouldn't have happened. Meanwhile, a team like the Chiefs has a player who left the scene of a crime.
That kid will play the entire season.

I'm rooting for a team effort, not the win!!

 

[shabazz]

I think every player, including Zeke, needs to be signed for all time money at their positions. I mean, those are veteran players out there!

Yes....."Give the man he money"!

I'm rooting for the win, without the team effort!!

Zeke was the worst short yardage back in the NFL in NE last year. That is why nobody other than the "we like our guys" JonesBoys was willing to sign Zeke at all in 2024. Zeke should be out of the NFL right now.

I suspect Zeke will be better running behind our line instead of New England's. How much better? IDK.

FEELS SO GOOD

i'm not ready to give us that much credit yet

Both!

That's the spirit!

 

[exciter]

Both contracts count against the cap this year for a RB nobody else wanted even for depth or as a mythical "short yardage back" (much like the mythical "cold weather kicker"). Brilliant General Manager we got here!!!

Lol,
Just because someone hadn’t already signed him doesn’t mean someone wouldn’t have once contract expectations fluctuated!

We could at least wait and see right?

Not sure why people are having so much fun hating on zeke before one snap. As you say...we really don;t know just yet let's try out best to cheer him on.

Not looking for 150 yards and 3 20+ runs. Just help us win...that;s it!

Exactly...thank you for being a rare voice of reason in this!

Not suggesting it didn't suck but saying he got a raw deal is just whiny IMHO. Sitting 6 games didn't ruin him, he simply got older on well used tires and it caught up to him.

 

[Stash]

“Premier backs” aren’t limited to “When you talk about short-yardage running, goal-line running, some of the things where we had problems, he gives you some of those answers.”

 

[ChronicCowboy]

Premier players at 28 years old usually sign one year minimum salary deals.

The stupidity is rubbing off to McClay now, we're done!!

How'd that comedian's one liner go...
"There's your sign!"
LOL
