You also roped in Sim's 2014 numbers to dilute his 2015 ones... while ignoring the fact that Martin on his own rushed for only 122 yards less than Hill and Gio *combined*.

Bengals Duo 2015: 377 carries/1,524 yards/4.04 YPC/13 TD  ...  64 catches/551 yards/8.61 AVG/1 TD  ...  5 Fumbles
Bucs Duo 2015: 395 carries/1,931 yards/4.89 YPC/6 TD  ...  84 catches/832 yards/9.90 AVG/5 TD  ... 7 fumbles

You call Gio the most explosive RB in the NFL, but what is that based on? I really really like Gio, don't get me wrong, but the guy only had 2 carries of 20+ yards last year. That's tied for 43rd among RB in 2015... with 13 other RB. Not to mention the 5 QB and 1 WR who had more rushes of 20+ yards than Gio.

Meanwhile Doug Martin had 14 rushes of 20+, Peterson had 10, and Todd Gurley had 11. Heck, Bell had 8 in 113 carries. I love Gio, but he's not the most explosive RB in the NFL.. by a long shot.

That is based on imo in the open field one on one everyone is hitting air bc he is already past them the fact that when he gets the ball out of the backfield he is the most explosive running back so let me take a step back I should have said he's the most explosive pass catching running back in the nfl but if hill gets back to his 2014 form can you argue the point?
