Youth? Size? Physicality?
Love Gio and when he is the best back i give him the praise he deserves.
But you are clearly playing favorites as i said before and are just hating on Mixon now.
So you've got: He's younger.
Size is moot; as it has been shown that half of the current top 10 runner in the NFL are 215 lbs or less
"Physically" is ridiculous: why didn't Joe play last week?
I suppose you and others would have a point if I had just started suggesting this after Gio went off 2 weeks in a roll, but it's something I've said all season. Joe should prove he deserves to be the starter instead of just handing him the role. We have given Joe the most carries of any RB in every game that he has finished and he's really not proved anything.
If Joe gets over his "physically" and is healthy enough to go this week and tears it up against the Vikes, while Gio struggles, then you and others can say "see I told ya"; outside of that you may just want to look and the facts and ensure you are calling the right side "just playing favorites".
