Zeke Overrated and Over Paid?

Great question. I've been asking it since last year.

We paid top dollar for a guy that's durable and a good pass-protector, but most importantly he's not a dynamic ball carrier that brings a unique play-making ability to the field anymore.

I just posted this on another thread but it's pretty telling evidence...

Compare Zeke with the top peers at his position and look at their long runs and "big" plays (i.e. runs for more than 20+ yards).

And let's be clear. This is with the best offensive run blocking unit in football a top 5 WR and a qb playing top 5 football.

What is the excuse?

Funny per stats, Dalvin Cook broke at least 5x as many tackles as Zeke, so I guess he must be 5x the back.

Please document a) the comparison of Cook's broken tackles to Zeke's. Plus, please document how the NFL charts such tackles in determining the leading rusher.

I'll wait.
