Zeke watch - The rushing title is in the bag

[Hardline]

Zeke would have had the rushing title in his rookie season, but Garrett made the decision to rest him. He might do so again this year.

I believe you meant the rookie rushing record.

he was leading before that and most likely after that..zeke being suspended without true cause gave RBs last year a free pass..Zeke still was tops in YPG last season..realistically Zeke could have had the crown 3 straight years , when the last times that happened? Emmitt had 4 total in very long career, zeke gets it 2 out of 3 years and could have likely had 3..thats pretty good considering ES played with 11 HOF players and many better coaches..think about that guys,

hes in the ES, Jim brown, Dickerson, and other HOF back territory..he got robbed by RG..

Zeke is a great back. I wont ruin your fun.

Well let me today that just for you.

@Aviano90 is overrated

 

[mattjames2010]

How about his determination for every yard? That doesn't wow you? It reminds me of Walter Payton & how he fought for every inch. Unless you are kidding I am scratching my head as to what you are watching.

Maybe a little too much determination since he is putting the ball on the ground more than anyone in the league outside of Cohen...

And Zeke is nowhere near Payton, there is nothing “reminding” you of him.

One is a legend. The other is an RB in a league with bad rules that handicap defenses

No problem with that whatsoever. Now you have a whole new set of issues to speak to your therapist about. Someone on the internet doesn't love Zeke like you do and you're going to have to learn some new coping skills.

We would be a bottom 5 team in the league without Zeke

But...but....what about all the people that say the RB position can be filled with a 3rd or 4th rounder every year?

Zeke is a force of nature, man.

You’re missing the point of my post.

Your post actually reinforces what I said.

I’m saying it’s a shame the MVP is slanted towards QB’s. It’s a shame it’s just about who has the best stats. The award doesn’t go to the most valuable player.

I don’t care if Zeke doesn’t have 2k yards rushing. He is the most valuable player to the cowboys team and maybe in the whole league. The cowboys would be 4-12 without him.

Dak is the actual most valuable player of the team. If he plays just good we typically win. If he doesn't we typically lose. The media down play it down due to Dak not being elite at his position but the truth is as Dak goes typically that is how the Cowboys go.... great defense or not... running game or not... Great OL or not....bad play calling or not

How many first round running backs have put teams on their backs and won a super bowl in this era?

Well yeah, we play in a QB driven league. But no, he is not “MVP”. If it wasn’t for our defense keeping most teams to low scoring, we would have lost at least 3 other games this year.

You really are simple

Your stance on not taking Zeke was one of the most idiotic things ive read on here

A day will come when you think yourself safe and happy, and suddenly your joy will turn to ashes in your mouth, and only then will you know Toruk Makto was right.

 

[Captain-Crash]

good job zeke, you're the whole offense, I hope your back holds up.

Check this out. Zeke made Todd Gurley quit. He got tired of chasing him so he no showed the game today.

I'm not surprised. He never had the cranium to get this done.

All hail Ezekiel Elijah Elliott. The Rushing King.

Zeke 1,434
(I'm a wittle) Gurley 1,251
Barkley 1,198

Understand this, if the NFL Commissioner was a man, Zeke would have started his career with three rushing titles his first three years in the league. His numbers with those games missed and the removal of the distraction of the suspension last year would put him at or near the most productive RB in the history of the NFL 3 years into his career.

Sure, he's had a good to great line those three years but he's also played with a God awful QB and no passing game. You play Dallas, you sell out to stop Zeke. He carries the load every week starting week 1 of his rookie year. There is no burden lifted off of him ever.

Special player. He's easily one of the greatest players to ever wear that uniform.

Hold On !!!!! WAIT A MINUTE ----- Risen threw me a curveball Where is the Sarcasm I love Your up to something !

LOL

Awesome post Risen

Hopefully sometime in the next couple of years he can break Eric Dickerson's other record to make up for it.
