He earned a shot at a bigger role, but if you give Burkhead 200 carries, I'd be willing to bet that his YPC would come tumbling down. Just as everyone else's has over the last decade. You might see some small spurts of quality running/blocking (BJGE in '12, Hill in '14, Rex in '16), but they've all wound up being anomalies.
Does anyone here really believe Rex is better than Gio?
I get what you are saying but Hill averaged less than 3 yards a carry the first two games of the year. He should have been really fresh and motivated, especially after fumbling the playoff game away. He is an NFL caliber player, just not the one everyone thought he was.
