The best ability is availability... If that weren't true, then Bell would top everyone's list without question. Wouldn't be debatable.

Available is thee #1 most important thing, so Bell gets dinged for that. Need to see a bigger sample size from Zeke and Johnson though, hate to draw conclusions from one full season of starting. I will say this, we've heard folks give the Cowboys OL the credit for Zeke success, following that line of logic then I'd have to say Bell played behind a much better OL then Johnson did, so perhaps Johnson season was actually more impressive? He and Fitz were pretty much the entire offense on a team struggling offensively.
Looking forward to seeing on these RBs do this year. I'd be very happy with any of them on the Seahawks.

Bell is good, but he would need to change his approach on a lot of other teams that don't have such a good line. For example, in Seattle he wouldn't be able to get the handoff and then stand around to wait for a hole to open up. He would avg -2 ypc if he tried that with a bad OL like what Seattle has fielded the last couple years.

I would take DJ or Zeke over Bell based on reliability alone. If we are talking total package, i.e. running, receiving, reliability, locker room, off the field, DJ stands atop that list.

Talent wise, any of the 3 in any order. Bell with the suspension and some injuries makes his reliability suspect. Zeke is a douchy kid at this point, but he hasn't been suspended. DJ is a saint off the field and a beast on the field. That has to give him some points. Not to mention, he had the worst oline out of any of the three.

that's more insulting to the Dallas players than the top 25 clutch QB thread.

O lotta haters and cowboy fans wear it as a badge of honor

You didn't.
I agree with your position. AT THIS TIME....DJ deserves the top spot followed Bell at 2 then Elliott.
I'd take any of the three over any other RB in the game
