Dak and Zeke are exceptional performers, but the quarterback position is the most impactful on the team. Dak is very durable as well but you have to give the nod to Zeke since his style of running is the most physical at his position.
I've been critical. He has definitely come into seasons out of shape. He looked like he had lost a step. But he is easily the best player on this team. He is a good to great runner, a pretty good pass catcher, a great blocker and helps to keep the team organized on the field. He is worth the money.
Zeke impacts the game more than any LB, Guard, DE, CB in the game.Maybe. But that just means a lot of guys have underperformed their deals for us so far. The replacement cost for a RB is still relatively cheap, and the position just doesn’t affect the outcomes of games very much.
Zeke is at 10.9m this year, Cooper is at 12m and Tyron Crawford is at 9.1mFor $15 million / year? Who else on the team is making $15 million / year on the team?
When he has an offensive line of 2016 then I will ask him for 2016 performance.Our fans overrate him and forced other people to bring clarity. As @PJTHEDOORS stated he has a 4.2 ypc average which isn’t good, especially when you consider he has only faced an 8 man front twice according to NFL Next Gen stats.
Additionally, according to Next Gen stats he has rushed for -7 yards over expected yards.
Zeke is running angrier this year and is punishing defenders as if he is on a mission. That is very clear but he is also inefficient as a runner and is gaining yards again on volume. He even told Collinsworth that he doesn’t look for the home run in the first half because he looks to punish the defense and wear them out. I guess some people interpret this as explosive.
I want to see Zeke in the open field earlier by defenders and turn it into a foot race to the end zone and making the top runner list again like he used to do in 2016. If he doesn’t do that then I won’t agree he is 2016 Zeke again. He is still 2017-2019 Zeke but playing more physical right now.
he is still a great back, but quit saying he is 2016 Zeke until he starts hitting home runs.
His 185 yards in the first 2 games is the best start of his career. He's also 3rd in the NFL in rushing right now.
His head is finally in the gameI've been critical. He has definitely come into seasons out of shape. He looked like he had lost a step. But he is easily the best player on this team. He is a good to great runner, a pretty good pass catcher, a great blocker and helps to keep the team organized on the field. He is worth the money.

Wrong - Elliott's rookie season he had 239 yards after the 1st 2 games.

The guy is taking shots at Jaylon and Tank.For $15 million / year? Who else on the team is making $15 million / year on the team?

God if this were true we would be a 2 win team.I've been critical. He has definitely come into seasons out of shape. He looked like he had lost a step. But he is easily the best player on this team.

Grow up.We all witnessed what happened when Zeke was out for games.
Our offense broke all records going 15 str Quarters offense without a single TD.
Zeke also contributes to our passing attack as without the PA I highly doubt Dak could go over 150 yards passing.
Zeke was and still is the foundation of our offense.
Best Pick we've had the last decade.
