Ok, one more nugget that I'd forgotten about.

Zeke closed out his college career w/ back to back to back 200 yard rushing games against Wisconsin, Alabama, and Oregon. 3 juggernauts. And OH ST had no passing game to speak of. The opposing D was focused on stopping him.

Only reason Barkley is considered great is because of his home run TDs. Take those away and he's below average at every other run.

Give Zeke Barkley’s O line last year and Zeke wouldn’t have even had those home run TD’s. He would have been gassed on the sidelines from having to work so hard just to avoid getting hit.

We got one..

Go to YouTube and type in Ezekiel Elliot.
Again, so Zeke has the best line in the league his rookie year and Barkley had one of the worst, especially for the first half of the season and that’s not a factor when talking about who’s better but you bring up ONE hole that the Giants O line created?

Zeke was dealing with a few injuries last year to his lower body, he’s still as explosive as his rookie year. Difference is in the o-line. Night and day difference the last couple years compared to Zeke’s rookie year. He’s not getting into the defense without being hit around the line. Good holes have been hard to find the last year or so

Almost 3 rushing titles, (Led the league in rushing in games played during 2017), and fickle fans would rather give Dak more credit. Lmao you people are sickening.
