Every RB out of Ohio St since Eddie George has been a bust. No thank you.
What does that have to do with the price of tea in China?

If DJ and Gurley go 1 and 2 I'm thinking about taking Zeke at 3 in a standard lg. People won't give him the benefit of the doubt, but will draft Lamar Miller's worthless a** quicklike in the first.

Dallas' OL is so ridiculously good and with that questionable defense, they are going to play some ball control offense.

I think Zeke does damn well for them this year.

That means the product that's came out of OSU hasn't been worth a damn so why get fooled over it again.

People are really forgetting Al Morrison this year who will play a role in the Cowboys offense on the field

What is the status of the abuse allegation and could there be a suspension?

You're talking about 3 players who were all literally recruited and coached by 3 different coaches. How fricking retarded are you?

Why? It's not like Elliot is some scrub. He tourched Saban's defense in the playoff. I am no fan of the Big 10 but Elliot is the best rb product over the last few years and he's running behind an elite line. They are smashing Seattle's starters.


I know I'm in the minority. I know Zeke is good. I just think that people are hyping Dallas' o line too high. They are good, but not Demarco Murray 2 years ago good. I mean Darren McFadden is very talented. He has good hands out the backfield. He's fast AF. McFadden only ran for barely 1k yards playing 16 games. Only 3 tds.

I think Zeke should equal DMAC's stats. Will score more than 3x's. But McFadden is still there and Morris WILL get goal line touches.

I'm not calling Zeke a bust ( even though Big Ten RBS usually do). I just don't see him worth of a 1st round pick. Just my opinion.

He is a slight dumb arse it would seem. Talent wise, he's great but yeah he seems to think he's invincible.

I don't like Zeke as a first round pick, his ceiling is built into that price tag and I like others better.

That said, DMAC ran for 3.3yc, 3.3ypc, 3.4ypc 2012-2014. A move to Dallas running behind that O-line had him running for 4.6ypc in 2015. DeMarco avg 4.9+ypc behind that oline in 2013-2014. A move to Philly (and overuse prior year) had him a 3.6ypc in 2015.

That o-line is good and Zeke is talented.

idk. I just have a bad feeling about Big 10 rbs. Melvin Gordon was all world too just a year ago.

Coming out of college, I thought DMAC was going to be great. We've seen his talent.

That said, his NFL career was in a freefall until last season.

DMAC turns 29 tomorrow. Zeke is 21. Yeah, I think Zeke is more talented than DMAC moving forward.

Data says McFadden left a good bit of yards on the table last season, too


The line graded out as the top run blocking and pass blocking unit, AND 4 guys on the line are younger than 25. They can get better.


I love the reasoning in this thread why he wont be good

"went to tOSU"
"big 10 RB"
"al morrison"

this is what it has come to

Melvin Gordon's OL was putrid last season, I still believe in him.

Zeke will finish top 5 among RBs if he stays healthy. Trust your eyes
