Gibson hasn't even reached his full potential yet. Payne is a stud. What about next season? We might be able to make a run next season but we won't if we keep tossing away our stars before we have enough player development, draft classes and FA additions to fill all of the holes. We need to go for it sometime. So, I'm on the other side of the fence from you on this particular issue. I think Gibson needs to stay here and continue to be a touchdown machine and, if necessary, Payne needs to be tagged - but only once. We'll have more cap room next season because Wentz will be gone.

I said I'd keep Gibson but Turner isn't using him. I'd prefer if we kept him and used him but lets be honest if we continue not using him he will leave. With Payne if we already have Allen I don't necessarily view Payne as redundant but I think with the drafting of Mathis they are looking for variety of technique on the line. If we can get draft capital for him and them use that money to improve LB position I'd be okay with it.

I think I understand your position but I think we need them for at least one more season.

- Jonathan Allen: 90.1
- Terry McLaurin: 82.9
- Antonio Gibson: 82.2

The thing w/ Gibson is strange. It's like this staff was obsessed w/ getting BR in there and flipped out over a pre season fumble by Gibson.

Imo Gibson should be the MAIN back. He is a BETTER player than BR. It's not a slight against BR but it is what it is.

Plenty of snaps to be shared btw Gibson and Robinson. McKissic is the guy that seems to be under used, his role has been diminished greatly. Should have stayed w Buffalo and experienced what it feels to be on a winning team.

Del Rio and staff get a lot of credit. Our D is middle of the league in pts, yds, pass yds, run yds. Last night wasnt a dominate performance but they got the 3 and out stop after our FG to give the ball back to the offense and that was the ball game right there.

To me, this is the only thing the coaching staff has got right.
Gibson was careless with the football. He fumbled and got benched.
Let them earn their playing time the rest of the way.

Also, Robinson is only a couple of games into his career. He still should get some carries.

I agree he should get carries but he should not be the lead back. AG is simply more productive at this point in his career. He is a better all around back and tougher to defend. Not saying BR doesn't have a role, he w/out question does but he should not touch the ball more than AG.

The way they were used yesterday was fine. I think w/ TH in there we have more of an identity on offense. We have to run the ball when he is under center. This is not a type of team to throw the ball 45 times.

Exactly. AG is not a workhorse back. Less work and he’s been more effective. I like him more as a pass catcher

That's what he primarily did at Memphis. He did it very well also with a super high yards per reception and td percentage. Playmaker.

This is where I'm at as well.

BRob had more touches than AG against the Bears and Packers (almost double), but against the Colts, Gibson had 14 touches compared to Robinson's 8 (not including KO returns). Credit - whoever, for making that adjustment.

Perhaps BRob will supplant AG eventually as the lead back - and maybe not, but how they were used against the Colts is probably the correct recipe for now.

I would NOT trade AG.

Idk shit about fuck, but I do know this - they showed a shot of AG sitting on the bench and I legit thought he looked like a double for the limo driver from Die Hard.
