- You just can't cut exceptional young talents like Love and Gibson.
- If AP is injured and unable to play, who handles the short yardage inside running duties? It has to be Peyton Barber. He is a very tough and effective inside runner.
- If somebody else needs to be cut in order to keep all 5 RB's, why keep a mediocre backup WR instead of either McKissic or Gibson when both of these RB's have experience as WR's ( McKissic in the NFL) and can be used at WR as needed? Also, both of these players are explosive and not ho-hum.
- McKissic needs to play ahead of Gibson for now as the 3rd down back, as Gibson learns and develops.
- If I ruled the roster, I would want to move Gibson to WR anyway. The idea of our future starting WR's being Terry McLaurin, Steven Sims, Jr. (slot), and Antonio Gibson is as explosive as it gets. Add to that Bryce Love and J.D. McKissic in the backfield with a top-notch TE (high draftee or FA) and we would be unstoppable.

Agree. Gibson is a WR that can lineup in the backfield in sub packages.
I think we're satisfactory there this year.
Gandy-Golden is a small school rookie and Harmon is hurt, but I like both of them.
2021 season, WR will be a plus position imo:
McLaurin (will be a bonified superstar), Sims Jr., Gibson, Harmon, Gandy-Golden, will be a legit top 5.
