I would not be surprised to see him have a clean out procedure after the season ends. Secondly, Gio stunk in his second season, yet no one threw in the towel on him, so why would we do that with Hill?
Gio didn't suck in his 2nd year, He was just injured. He still averaged 4.0 yards per carry, Hill is averaging 3.4 yards per carry. Not to mention, Many of us have higher expectations for Hill from what we saw in his rookie season. Having a strong running game is vital to playoff success or success in this league. Look at Seattle, Green Bay, Arizona, Denver and even New England has a somewhat running game.
We absolutely NEED to be able to run the ball, whether it's the O-line's fault or the RB's... We NEED to fix it.
