Are we really comparing Gio to a 4x Pro Bowler and 2x first team All-Pro?
Gio may have a slight edge as a receiver, but as a runner it's not close. Just since 2013, Charles has 579 more rush yards despite playing in 10 fewer games than Gio. He also has a sizable edge in YPC during that time (5.0 to 4.3). Honestly, we're comparing a (very good) role player to someone an offense was built around. Charles has essentially been KC's AJ Green. Gio is closer to Danny Woodhead than Jamaal Charles.

The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
