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.

I was comparing after three overall seasons.... and lets give Gio credit also.. if he would average the 1,147 he has averaged for the past three years in overall yards for 8 seasons he would have 9,176 which would be double what Woodhead has averaged in 8 seasons so far.

I don;t think it is out of the realm that in 8 years Gio is just below the level of Charles.. I feel that is what he is after 3 years when you compare the two... also injuries are part of a reflection and evaluation of a career... Charles has been hurt by that so if Gio stays healthy and continues to put up 1,200 seasons he will have a very good career.
