[QUOTE="jojatk, post: 746346, member: 2627"] Your initial review of a 219 all purpose yards including 2 TDs performance (one rushing and one receiving) in his first game boiled down to “He’s not bad.” (Here’s the actual quote from you: “Gibbs- I’m really not understanding the over the top hype. He was used well out of backfield for some good passing gains, he’s got above average speed in open field but running between the tackles is not there yet. He may develop but he’s not Dwyer and it’s hard to see him getting there in my opinion. A memorable back he’ll likely be if he can remain injury free.”). To some people that IS complaining. Having read your posts for a while now I wouldn’t call it complaining about Gibbs but i would say you underplayed what the young man actually did to complain about folks who might sound like they want to hand him the Heisman right now. So; not complaining about Gibbs but yes complaining about those who you feel went over the top in their praise. And I don’t mean that as an insult to you. Just an observation of why people feel you were complaining. On the specific comparison you made; Gibbs doesn’t remind me of Jonathan Dwyer when I see him run. And i should say you won’t find bigger fans of Jonathan’s than me and my family. Well maybe his own family. We became fans of his in HS because he went to where both my kids were going to go.
