both these backs on the field at the same time.
But if Mixon started to hesitate like he was at times before the Cleveland game Gio should be the feature back.
There's absolutely nothing to support the notion that Joe has more upside. Compare the two college careers and tell me who was the more talented in college. Every year Gio has been here, he's had to play second fiddle to the "more talented" RB, has done so without complaint, and more often than not has outperformed them. It seems many here have the same mentality as the front office they are always slighting.
