Zeke in the top 100

[garyo1954]

Recently, Pro Football Talk released their top-100 players heading into the 2021 season, tabbing Elliott at No. 88 overall -- one spot behind Denver Broncos offensive tackle Garrett Bolles, and one spot ahead of Green Bay Packers defensive tackles, Kenny Clark.

Here is what Pro Football Network's Dalton Miller had to say about Elliott:

“Ezekiel Elliott is the definition of a bell-cow back. Outside of his suspension in 2017, he has missed just three regular-season games in his five-year career. In that time, he has touched the ball 1,654 times on offense.

“Elliott may not be the same home run hitter he was in 2016 coming out of Ohio State, but he’s one of the most reliable runners in the league at creating another yard or two when it’s simply not there. His vision as a runner is his strong suit, and as long as he has that, he’ll be productive.”

Should be in the top 10 I think 1 of those Zeros was a typo

I think he should be in the top 50. Top 10 only if you’re Choosing running backs alone

Is being ranked No. 88 overall a snub to Zeke? I bet most of you out there think he should be ranked higher.

Interesting because I think vision is one of his worst traits.

I think he is lucky to be in the top 100.

Has to be. They essentially parroted the Zeke haters criticism of him. Maybe they read this board.

Everything went south around him with the OL and QB getting injured. Also he struggled with fumbles. Better health around him and reducing fumbles alone will make a huge difference. I also think the work he's done this offseason to improve his foot quickness will make a difference.

umm better yet

hope the team has bounce back season...

i mean who played well last year i mean 97% of the team needs to bounce back..people need to stop signaling out zeke...ranking are fine as they are year to year and dont matter much about the season to come but fans sthu already..

fumbles huh? so 5 lost fumbles in 15 games bad, correct?

especially making 12.5 mil,

OK what do you call 7 TOS in 4.5 games making 32 mil and not making it to game 6??

id say whomever that might be needs to bounce back as well..

He only had 6 fumbles.

 

[blueblood70]

He only had 6 fumbles.

Dak had 7 Tos in 4.5 games zeke 5 in 15..id say the team needs to clean chit up. Bounce back..

Not a single poster has signaled Zeke out.

Maybe if you enlarge the fonts it will help make your point

Dak needs to get better as well but Dak touches ball every play and 2 of his picks were at the end of half or game. his pocket awareness concerns me more than the picks and they might have been able to squelch those if the coaching staff was smart enough to help the 3rd string tackle with all pro pass rushers

So are you saying the top RB 3 of the last 5 years....shouldn't be?

 

[acr731]

Zeke fits the definition of a 'bell cow' back? I think he better fits the description of a back who's productivity started to nose dive after he got over paid.

He'll have a great season in 2021, but only as long as the defense consists of trash cans and traffic cones.

I think he needs to show that that ranking is incorrect before any of us thinks it's incorrect.
