He’s declined gradually each year. It’s noticeable when you compare his rookie season to now....not even close to the same player now
I have said it a million times, but the rate of his decline is 100% related to his personal life choices off the field. You cannot be a world class athlete forever and party like he does.
It speeds up the inevitable, which is what? 7-8 seasons of prime production for HOF caliber RBs...that actually take care of their bodies. He’s in his 4th, and parties like he has substance abuse issues.
The decline is real, and it’s happening right now.
really come on get out of here with that...remember North Dallas 40? ever see college campus partys?, how about the White House and all the issues of the 90s players? Brett Farve played on pain killers and tons of them every game to make it through it(he played 19yers at pretty high level, pun intended), i heard stories of Lawrence Taylors coke issues, storys coming out daily like Megatron and Percy Harvin played HIGH every game...NBA 50% of the dudes smoke before game..theres way too many examples to list..
Point being is it depends on the individual but Zekes been world class since HS and he may not be 2016 Zeke but he hasn't fallen off as much as fans want to say he has..its overblown as he got paid and now hes under a microscope....I know zeke is not partying every night in season or even a ton during the season or we would have heard about this(TMZ is parked outside this dudes house for sure), guy went to some events and had too much fun in the offseason..
Lets get this straight the Oline has had issues run blocking and coaches scheming better run blocking and calling too many 1st down runs.. it doesnt help a RB when this happens.. sure he had poor showing but it has ZERO to do with his life style..get over yourself..substance abuse or hes young, rich and singe and has gone out and had some fun while media follows him around?
STOP THE BS people.. decline maybe from his rookie year but that happens you dont get younger , you get older but hes not in that kind of rapid decline..move on..there are many player on this team and others who are declining and they dont have reputations for being partiers.. lmao..***e
None played well last game maybe they all went out 3 months in row in NOLA and thats what happened..SMH..
