Virtually the same rushing yards despite Gibbs having 50 less carries. 5.6 yards per rush compared to Bijan's 4.8. Gibbs a better receiving back too.
Bijan has a far worse offensive line tho and has to deal with teams knowing Kirk bum ass couldn’t do anything most of the season

Fair enough. I think they're both elite, Bijan is #4 to me. I honestly think Gibbs would have put him Saquon-type numbers if he wasn't in a near 50/50 snap split. The Lions keep both guys fresh and healthy which is smart but that split should be more 60/40 next season.

I agree both are elite I personally just feel like if bijan had that oline and skill around him he would be challenging Barkley for the throne. Hes never gotten to actually play with elite talent in the nfl or college

My brother in Christ, Gibbs is at least RB3 in the league. Only behind Saquon and Henry.
:childplease:
Jacobs >>>

:camby:

Gibbs stats only look good because DET was pass first offense most the year which is why he only got 250 touches and it helped open the run game. Put Gibbs on a run first team and he wont last or be up there with Saquon, Henry and Jacobs. 100%

I will say I did not think James Cook was as good as he is until seeing his performance this year. I think I'd take Gibbs, but I can see people arguing for Cook.
