The only argument I can see is Rex and Peerman would be cold coming off the bench, but still better than a guy that's prone to fumbling the ball, especially when you're carrying the hopes of an entire city and entire fanbase after 25 years of heartbreak.
Dude Hill only had like 2 or 3 fumbles this year. He is not "prone to fumble" like everyone says he is. Nobody thought he was going to fumble.. He was most certainly who you want in the backfield in a situation like that. A strong, power back that is reliable. Gio ? No you do not want a scat-back back there. You want someone who can run hard thru the middle. Burkhead, peerman? Just no.... You dont want those guys back there in a game braking situation. It was actually a good run by him, if his knee would of hit, it would of been a 7 yarder or so. That means hill would of had two tries to get 3 more yards, and the game would of been over (most likely). Hill just fumbled.... Its a part of the game, unfortunate timing.
If Marvin really said he would of put Gio back there, he is not an idiot. Hill was the correct choice, imo.
