"Everyone is entitled to their opinion but it’s clear to see that Elliott is still one of the league’s top running backs and certainly a lot higher than the 11th best."

I find this statement to be quite humorous. No, it isn't "...clear to see that Elliott is a lot higher than the 11th best." That is your opinion. The eyeball test indicates that Zeke was "clearly" better as a rookie than he was last year. Will he return to earlier form? For the answer to that question, we will just have to look back from some point in the future. In my opinion, which is absolutely fact, the anonymous coach may be right.
