zeeshan2 said:Anyone else worried he could just be a change of pace back? Gruden said he will be competing for 3rd down work and that doesn't sound so optimistic for Gio

I never once said they where similar, just the fact that the Vikings BS everybody saying they where going to bring him along slowly. Long story short they are easing the rookie into the system without all the added pressure. It makes it easier for everybody. Plus if he hits a road block it doesn't look like he regressed. I think Gio has top 5 overall upside(please don't name names, a lot can happen in a year ask MJD).

zeeshan2 said:Rex Burkhead, another guy the Bengals drafted is no slouch either; he was highly productive in college and did better in almost every category in the combine than Gio. Reports were pre draft that Gio is constantly overmatched because of lack of size and strength. What if Burkhead does beat out Gio for 3rd down duties?
