yards per carry is an important metric.
That will give a better prespective
but you need a large sample of carries to say its important....50 carries and a 6.5 YPC, is not going to translate to 200 carries at the same average.

Emmitt had like 340 carries every year Dallas won a Super Bowl. That's like 21 carries a game. Back then it was noted that Aikman wins almost 90% of the games that Emmitt had 20 carries. Now a days Dak needs 100 yards on the ground to win. So if McCarthy runs Zeke like Jimmy ran Emmitt our Super Bowl chances would increase.

Zeke hasn't necessarily lost a step, he's just not being relied upon like he was in 2016.

If Zeke got 115 yards in game one, everyone cheers. If he gets 50 yards in game 2, he’s done. Never mind if he had 27 carries in game one, while only 10 in the second…
