I’m a fan of the current coaching group, but this was a mistake. Gio is probably the most overrated player on this team.  I was hoping Taylor and company would see that.

You are just wrong.

I am not saying the Bengals did not over pay some to extend him, but Gio is a very talented.

There are only 23 active RBs with at least 1500 receiving yards and Gio ranks in the top ten among them in yards per reception and yards per target.  He is also 11th in receiving yards per game, 12th in catch percentage, and 14th in rushing yards.  

Bernard has the lowest fumble percentage (by far) among the 33 active RBs with more than 500 carries.  Including receptions he has over 1000 career touches with only 4 fumbles.  That is also the best in the league.
