But this is a perfect example of a stat that is not as impressive as it sounds.  Although Gio deserves all the credit for doing something only 4 other players have done he really isn't in the same class as the other 4.

Here are the yards per game for Gio and the others

Le'Veon Bell.........119.0
Matt Forte............112.6
Jamaal Charles.....109.9
DeMarco Murray....105.7
Gio Bernard........... 76.4

Here is another example of fredtoast telling half the story and undercutting the talent of bernard

TD 12 - Bell has more toachdowns, but how many times has Hill stepped in to drop in a 1 yard TD after Gio carries it down the field?

Bernard is statistically the same back as Bell without half the praise.  Hill is garbage. good day
