Zeke has more yards and more touchdowns in fewer games.

Zeke by 85 yards.

They laid out their arguments and backed it up with numbers.
Why don't you lay out your own? It's not outrageous to pick either, but you're acting like it's unequivocally Henry. Sounds like you're being a slave of the moment

Sorry, I meant this season and moving forward. Zeke is done, it's over.

I hope Dallas fans enjoyed all of the success he brought over the last 3 seasons.

Imagine paying a RB lol

The key to winning in the NFL is a quality OL. Get that, get lucky in avoiding injuries, and the rest of your offense will fall into place. You can stick any jabroni FA RB behind a good OL and they’ll do fine

Zeke is great, but he's never rushed for more than 160 yards in a game during his career. It's not really close.

see that's the thing with henry though, he has these MONSTER games yet he has abysmal ones like the ones vs the bills that makes him look absolutely underwhelming.

It truly depends on what team you're trying to build. Do i need a RB to be the focal point of everything (receiving, rushing, and blocking)? Than gimme Zeke.

Do I need a RB who can just straight pound the run game and wear defenses down? Gimme Henry easily.

Henry is a freak...and while Zeke is just as or more effective...it feels like NFL defenses crowd the box on Henry and worry about him more and that opens everything else up.

I think most coaches would take Henry...regardless of stats, even if its just a mind game.

If running behind a good oline, there might not be another runner in NFL history I would choose over Henry. He dominates on the 2nd level. Gets max value on those situations. Issue is, Henry needs a line. He isn't on the level of someone like Chubb who can create positive situations when nothing is there.

He's definitely not Barry Sanders who could create his own yards.

He's more Herschel Walker...straight line power runner.

Zeke is definitely more elusive. More Emmitt Smith to use another Cowboy. Henry is exactly what he had at Alabama, a big freak that shines when he has a great O-line...otherwise we see a lot of falling into the line for 3-yards.

Not really. One plays for a winning team and one plays for the cowboys. And his contract is part of why the cowboys aren't winning.
