What are the realistic expectations for Zeke (question 6 of 20)

[CowboyRoy]

We all know you don't like Zeke. You're to Zeke what Pappy is to Dak.

Trying to help you understand how yards dont mean diddly if the ypc isnt up.

I will like Zeke if he is averaging 5 ypc. I will like him a lot.

 

[Ranching]

I will like Zeke if he is averaging 5 ypc. I will like him a lot.

What about 4.99

 

[CowboyRoy]

What about 4.99

That would be great.

Would you like Zeke at 1200 yards and 4.0 ypc on 300 carries?

Would you brag that he is 5th rushing yards this year.

 

[glimmerman]

What about 4.99

Nope. Lol. If healthy he will be fine. Let’s hope the O-Line can open holes.

 

[Ranching]

I've never bragged about him.....but, I do think he's better than what he showed last year.

And the year before?

 

[Havic]

1200 yards, 10+ rushing Td's

 

[G2]

For me, the RBs both have to be healthy. Because after that it comes down to how they're used. Last season was weird.

 

[Dre11]

Do you think Pollard sees him as a great teammate?

100% it's only fans that whine.

 

[Ranching]

And the year before?

What about it? Let it go. Let's see what he does this year....what good is it to cry about the past, will it change something?

 

[CowboyRoy]

Well I guess he puts up with it. Maybe that is his biggest problem. Doesnt have stones to take what he has earned.

Just pointing out that its two disappointing years, not one.

On the field it does nothing. On here, its all some of us have.

Hopefully this will be the year of big change, but I have a feeling that will have to wait until next year.

 

[JBond]

1400 and 12 TDs

= maybe a playoff win?

 

[quickccc]

Zeke likely to be Mark Ingram 2.0 .. instead of Adrian Peterson 2.0

 

[Dre11]

He hasn't earned Zeke's starting job, he may have earned some more touches that he gets now. But he also has to earn the trust of the organization as a protector and blitz pick up. Pollard hasn't been a lead back going all the way back to college.

He is the better, more effective back, better play maker. Zeke can block for Pollard and take whatever carries are left over that Pollard cant handle. Maybe Zeke can be the fullback this year until he gets punted.

The year you’re referring to is when Dalton was at QB. No one feared him. Lol

I was told by the Zeke apologists that the offense went through Zeke.

There was no offense once Dak went down. Like. At all. Lol

Yep.........Zeke is NOTHING without Dak or an Oline.
