Just stop......
It's one thing to have a personal agenda against a player as you've admitted, he's a punk, but to let that cloud general gamesmanship fact is delusional and misguided. If he leads the league in touches, it's not unusual at all to have the most fumbles. As it stands NOW, this offense starts and ends with Zeke's impact. In fact, pretty sure you ask 31 league defensive coordinators to name the one play they have to stop in this offense would be Zeke. Heard/read it to many times over the last three years. Of course, I'm not saying he's irreplaceable, any player is but not now, not this year...too late.
My disliking him as a person, which I have always openly admitted, has nothing to do with the fact I think RB’s are one of the most expendable positions. It’s not like I’m cheering against him on game day.
I’ve always said I think he is top 3, with Barkley being first, and I think the Giants are idiots for drafting him as well. It’s been shown time and time again that RB’s are replaceable, especially behind good O lines. Most recently, look what Pittsburgh did when everyone thought they would be screwed without Bell. Look what the Rams did without Gurley and a guy who was sitting on the couch when he got the call. Look what Philthy did with Ajayi.
It’s laughable that you think he led the league in fumbles due to having the most carries. Why don’t you look up carries vs fumbles of the top RB’s and see who leads by a wide margin. Off the top of my head, I think Barkley had ~45 less carries and ZERO fumbles! Gurley wasn’t far behind before his injury. It’s not even close, you should do a little research before spouting off about stats you clearly know nothing about.
Ever notice how one of our best offensive games last year was without Zeke and half our starters for most of the game? Why is that? Could it possibly be because we weren’t so reliant on Zeke? Could it be because we spread the ball around more and therefore kept defenses guessing more? Could it be because Zeke isn’t as critical to this offense as some make it seem?
I’m not saying he’s not our best option and he doesn’t make a difference nor have I ever said that. I have said I don’t think the world will come crashing down if he doesn’t play and I think his absence isn’t nearly as critical with a decent to good OC (and O line) which I hope Moore will be.
Why is it every other team has overcome not having the leagues leading rusher but we can’t?
