My Running Back take

By: Milling Galloway

Many people are not going to agree with my take, but it’s time I let the sports world hear it. When I first told a couple of my friends about it, I received a bunch of hate. As you can tell the man at the top of the screen is Jahmir Gibbs. He in my opinion is the best running back in the National Football League. Many may jump to conclusions. A lot of people think Saquon and Henry clearly are better. Although some stats show that, Gibbs is in a two back system and splits carries and still puts up stats that most single back fields could only dream for. This falls into my next part of my argument, David Montgomery is not an elite running back. He gets put in on goal line situations where of course he is going to score. You can clearly see that when he gets runs he just doesn’t have the touch. It could just be that he has gotten older. When Gibbs gets the carries he explodes for massive amounts of yards and touchdowns every game. His first quick steps and explosiveness gives him a clear edge on all running backs. His top end speed is also very exciting to watch, its mind blowing. He has the most touchdowns in the league and that is why. If he had the back field all to himself, I could easily see him rushing for the most yards and scoring the most. The Lions organization should really look into selling David and getting more horsepower for that Offensive line. I don’t really understand why this take gets so much hate. Henry has the best quarterback and offensive scheme. Barkley has the best Offensive line and great receivers. Gibbs only has a pretty good Offensive line. Every team keys in on him and still he puts up crazy numbers and crazy plays. I truly do think Gibbs is and will be the best in the League, just give him a couple of years he is only 22.The ceiling is so high for this young man and I am so excited to see what he will do in the future.
