Skip Bayless: "Ezekiel Elliott is better than Emmitt Smith."

[America's Cowboy]

I bet Skip will never say Romo is better than Troy.

 

[Jipper]

I loved emmit

I love zeke

I hope zeke ends up being better than emmitt but only time will tell....i don't see anything wrong with what skip is saying except he is not prefaceing his comments enough...

I will never understand why people get so defensive of comparisons for modern players being better than old players....different game, different training routines, different nutrtiton...you would expect players to keep getting better.

All that said....too early to call zeke the better player for their career but certainly fair to say bigger faster stronger and maybe more talented....emmitt was the hardest worker and had the biggest heart

 

[Tangle_Foot]

To let "The Talking Heads" tell it everybody was better than Emmitt.
But in this case there's not enough of the sample size to even start this conversation

 

[Cmac]

That's Skip being Skip......ratings, and taking the leap too early....way too early. What'd you expect from Skip. Needs to be locked in a room with Troy.

 

[Vinnie2u]

Next he gonna say Dez was better than Irvin

 

[DandyDon52]

Skip Bayless is a liar who has built a so called “career” on false statements or intentionally misleading headlines to get people to “buy” his shtick. He alleged Troy Aikman was gay and that Tom Landry was a hypocrite. I stopped believing a single word that comes out of that guy's mouth 25 years ago. He’s a media clown.

A lot of people on this site hate Stephen A Smith. But even though Stephen A has strong opinions I often disagree with, he doesn’t just flat out lie like Skip Worthless.

Maybe someday Zeke will be worthy to be compared to Emmitt. But to say Zeke is better at this point in his not quite 3 year career is silly. Yeah Zeke has more raw talent, but respect in this league is earned. Zeke is great. But he’s got a long way to go to even be considered in the same discussion as the great Emmitt Smith.

[Zekeats]

he will say anything for views....

Attention *****

 

[Silver N Blue]

Nope. Go back and look at early ES.

No Heart, No true leadership displayed, off field issues....yep nope sorry....Skip don't disrespect the best like that....geesh

 

[Silver N Blue]

Nope. Go back and look at early ES.

#22 broke the state of Florida HS rushing record, broke the Gators rushing record, and wrote on a piece of paper he would be the all time rushing champ...no chance....he was great before he landed in Dallas

 

[wrongway]

Visually stunning, crappy movie.

 

[erod]

Skip also said Troy Aikman was gay.

Ignore Skip.

 

[Hardline]

Because he wasn't doing stupid things.

Neither was Zeke.
He was a victim of a witch hunt.
If he did what he was accused of please give me a link to the conviction.

 

[atlantacowboy]

skippy is paid to say stupid things and stir the pot. This is just what he does.

 

[The Natural]

I don't remember Emmitt missing games because he was a dumb azz doing stupid things..

That doesnt have anything to do with talent.

 

[Ren]

3rd year Zeke vs 3rd year ES, Smith wins he was ridiculously good at the same point in his carer

Plus Emmitt did what he did for a long time. Zeke has big shoes to fill. Right now, maybe he's Hershel Walker. He's got a long way to go to be Emmitt or Dorsett.
