We've seen him in college dominate.  I can understand the skepticism if he was only sub-par or played against lesser competition, but dude was pretty solid.

We've had our fair share of flops, but I think he's a pretty sure thing.

Gio more than likely will not be 100% in 2017, may not be ready to play by camp so releasing our current starting RB seems like a very bad idea. He is on last year of his contract, let's see how he does in 2017.

We've given him chances and he's only struggled more and more.  I say we give him a fair share of carries in the preseason but, unless he tears it up, I'd say we cut him before season.

Best-case scenario, IMCO, is that he does alright in preseason but not enough to solidify the starting job, and then, as someone else suggested, we trade him after week 6 for a back-needy team.

Or Hill and Mixon both tear it up and it drives up Hill's trade value.

I wonder if teams can get past that fumble and his overall fumbling problems, though.
