I can think for myself just fine which is why I know what zeke is and you don’t. You have the herd mentality and with that I truly feel for you.
I never said zeke was bad and I have stated he was the best RB in 2016, top 5 in 17 and even top 10 last year. Again, almost every stat you brought up is a direct result of play calling and nothing specific to individual talents.
Most yards because he had the most carries because the coach called more running plays. That’s not rocket science. Almost every year for the past 20 years, the season rushing leader also had the most carries.
Rushing TD’s?! Lol, who cares? So because a coach gives him the ball on the 2 yard line instead of doing a QB sneak or passing I’m supposed to be impressed by TD’s? Again, those numbers are almost strictly a result of play calling, nothing special he’s done.
Instead of having to type everything out for you, how about you educate yourself. I have plenty more, let me know if these don’t help clarify things for you. Enjoy!

The colossal irony of a guy supporting his claim of thinking for himself by posting a bunch of links to other people's opinions surely is not lost on you. Well maybe it is.
As for your claim that "Almost every year for the past 20 years, the season rushing leader also had the most carries." let's [put that to the test shall we:
2019 Henry was also first in carries and yards.
2018 Zeke was the leader in carries and yards..
Hmmm so far so good.
2017 LeVeon was #1 in carries but 3rd in yards.. uh oh.
2016 Zeke was #1 in carries and yards. but he won the rushing title by over 300 yards.. he could have won it with 50 fewer carries!
2015 AP was #1 in carries and yards.
2014 Demarco was #1 in carries and HE won the rushing title by almost 500 yards. He could have won it with 100 fewer carries.
2013 McCoy #1 in carries and yards.. That's an upset.. I never knew he had that many carries in a season.
2012 Arian Foster was #1 in carries but only 6th in yards double uh oh
2011 MJD #1 in carries and yards.
2010 Michael Turner #1 in carries.. 2nd in yards. uh oh again..
So that's three times in the last 10 years that they leading rusher was NOT the guy with the most carries. I suppose in some circles something that happens 70% of the time is "almost always.." but I would not say it's true in this instance.
Just to finish out the exercise:
2009 CJ2K leads in both yards and carries
2008 Turner #1 in carries.. 2nd in yards
Now we're up to 8 of 12.
2007 Clinton Portis #1 in carries but 4th in yards.
8 of 13
2006 Larry Johnson #1 in carries (by over 60 carries) but .. 2nd in yards. behind LT
8 of 14
2005 Alexander #1 in carries and yards.
2004 Curtis Martin #1 in carries and yards.
10 of 16.
2003 Ricky Williams #1 in carries.. 9th in yards. Triple uh oh.
2002 Ricky Williams #1 in carries and yards.
12 of 18
2001 Stephen Davis #1 in carries.. 3rd in yards
2000 Eddie George #1 in carries 3rd in yards.
So that breaks out to the leading rusher NOT being the guy with the most carries 8 of the last 20 years. 40% of the time. But if you say that's "almost every time" then who am I to argue.
