Everyone is down on Zeke but he’s been better than Murray. Zeke has had three 1300+ yard seasons. Murray only have one real big season. Murray had a 13 TD season while Zeke had a 15 TD season. Zeke has had 3 double digit TD seasons. He also had a franchise record for RBs with 72 receptions. Go compare his numbers with Murray and it’s clear he’s been the better back but most fans here live in the moment and Zeke is on the decline.
I agree. Murray was very, very good for a short period. Elliott set such a high standard his rookie season that he can never live up to the expectations he set, but his numbers stack up well against other top backs. If he had gotten injured, his numbers were on the way to being the best he's posted since probably that first season, so I don't know if he's on the decline. But we'll have to see how he bounces back from injury, or if he's reached that point in a typical RB's career where injury causes that decline to accelerate.
