Zeke v. Gurley v. Barkley: full picture breakdown

[Cowboy Brian]

Gurley ended today with 1,175 yards. Zeke is at 1,150 yards.

Let's add the second dynamic -
Gurley is at 46 recs for 474 yards
Zeke is at 53 recs for 423 yards

Gurley is slightly outproducing Zeke, but when you look at YAC stats, or broken tackles, Zeke is in the lead.

Going to be interesting how the season wraps up between the two premier RBs in the league.

Barkley on a total yard basis is also crushing it -
954 yards rushing, 602 receiving yards.

Total yards -
Gurley 1,649
Zeke 1,573
Barkley 1,556

Good topic. Everyone compares these three so it's good to have the data posted. But for me it's hard to think about these 3 without considering Leonard Fournette. He was supposed to be this good too. The fact that he isn't even in this comparison says it all. What a let down he has been.

But I think it's safe to say we have on of the 3 best best running backs in the NFL and one of the 3 best in Cowboys history.

Gurley is destroying them both with like 20 TD's.

Barkley, Gurley, Zeke in that order. Stats or no stats.

Zeke ain't called to run in the 10's. It's pass til a FG with our main man Linehan.

Bad boys! All of them are difference makers in this League.

Doesn't change who I'd want on my roster if building a team today.

 

[lwehlers]

wonder how many yards bell would have this year with steelers if he had played this year.

 

[Corso]

Right on! Not arguing that.

 

[Jinxx13x]

Honestly you cannot go wrong with either of these three but i think Zeke fits us well so its all a matter of perception !

I Love Zeke and how he always falls forward

I have not really noticed that zeke has that many catches. what is the cowboys record for receptions from a running back.

Gurley has the advantage of superior coaching. But I'll take zeke. Love his attitude.

Aint? Do you mean isn't?

I typed colloquial slang. I would think that's allowed, when not trying to be professional.
Which this site doesn't cultivate.

does Fournette even want to play football?

 

[tyke1doe]

Does Gurley always take himself out of games when he gets tired? Asking for a friend.

Lol... sure buddy. Now go back to your regularly scheduled program.

Murray had 57 in 14 iirc

 

[ultron]

This would be another LANDSLIDE rushing title win for Zeke if all-pro center FredBeard was able to play this year. I would take Zeke over any other RB in this league.

 

[Clove]

People also wanted Barry Sanders over Emmitt, but Emmitt has jewelry, Barry doesn't.
