As Nate mentioned, Gio is still top notch, when it comes to picking up pass rushers. Sure, he's lost a little explosion on his rushing between the Tackles, but he's still a hard piece to replace, for his experience and receiving ability.
Would I like to see Gio just dealt away, for moving up a spot or two? Not really. Would I love to see a back like Traveyon Williams step up and unseat Gio Bernard for his position? Hell yeah. There's a big difference between dealing a trusted player for little gain, and seeing him beaten out by a younger, stronger version.
Well said! I think Gio is overpaid and underutilized. I like both of the young backs drafted last season. That makes Gio the veteran backup, in case of a Mixon injury.
As Sunset said, I'm all for Williams or Rod unseating Gio, but right now they're not ready.
