i know some people hate to exclude obvious outliers, but what has hill done this year outside of 9 runs against the league's second worst run defense? watch him run man, he can't create anything on his own.

it's undeniable that the amount of push the line gets is abysmal and it has effected gio and jeremy, but gio is the obvious better runner of the ball, and everything that makes a running back a running back.

the only thing hill does well is run through gaping holes with no second gear and look big.

I'm looking over this post and I don't see any explanation for why Gio is averaging 3.7 ypc (to Hill's 4.0) this year. Sure Gio is better at catching and blocking (although I think Hill is solid in these categories), but we're talking about toting the rock.

Hill ain't getting it done, but neither was Gio, who was stuffed on a regular all year. People keep talking like Gio somehow looked better but the production hasn't reflected that at all. I'm not hating on Gio so much as using him to make a point. I just think the problem is (and has been for years) the oline. 

4 OC's, 3 RB coaches, a mountain of RBs, and we get the same mediocre results year after year. To me it's like blaming players for stinking in the playoffs under Marvin Lewis.
