Yes, That has been mentioned about 1000 times on Detroit Sports Radio. Or Jordon Davis instead of Williams last year.
Would really have help Hutch stay away from all the double teams he is getting now.

Of course. I'm talking about fans that claim they somehow are able to see what others can't because we're not biased. Sometimes people just have a different opinion. Doesn't necessarily mean they're biased.
I bet.
This is a fascinating situation with as good as Detroit is, they have room to have been a good bit better.

He’s not going to play much until “the lightbulb comes on” according to Dan Campbell. If he’s not getting explosive plays, he is a jag and no better than Montgomery

Well if anyone would know I guess it would be you.
I think it should be pointed out that it's not really Gibbs vs Carter as their options during the draft. Had they stayed in their slot and took Carter they would not have acquired the pick used on LaPorta. So really it's LaPorta and Gibbs vs Carter. They did good IMO.
But without a doubt it was considered an odd draft after round two last year as most felt they reached in round one and crushed round 2. That opinion has only gotten stronger to the point I would imagine if you polled most NFL execs they'd straight up take their two second round picks over their two first round picks.
Leroy Hoard
Footballguy
This is why I prefer to judge draft classes over specific picks. Otherwise people just cherry pick the picks they like or don't like and ignore the big picture.

That makes sense if the point is to evaluate how the teams GM scouting staff and coaches did drafting players for their football team.
The 1st round picks get a lot more attention of course and are much higher value picks. That is where a lot of super star players come from. Reasonable for people to have higher expectations of players drafted in the first round. Especially RBs when players from that position are not drafted in the first round every year. So that puts more of a spotlight on the few who do.
That said I am still not sure if we should consider Gibbs as just a RB. As has been stated many times and again from Fausts post above recently the Lions consider Gibbs a positionless player. Which means he will play in multiple roles and positions for them. They seem to be still trying to figure out how that fits in with the rest of the offense right now. I think what they mean by that also is the positions are filled by other players with more clearly defined roles right now. They dont need Gibbs to fill those roles, but they will work him in to several of those positions at times as they figure out how to best use him.
The bust rate for picks is still high. In the first and all rounds. Half or more of the players drafted in the first round do not live up to those expectations. You see fewer impact players coming from the later rounds despite the inaccuracy of the 1st round. So yeah to what Leroy Hoard is saying the Lions still may have had a good draft even if their 1st round picks dont work out, and you have to judge the GM scouting staff and coaches by how they have built the team overall, not just by their 1st round picks when saying if they did a good job or not.
Quickest example that pops into my mind as a Vikings fan is when they needed quality linebackers in the worst way. They selected Anthony Barr is the first round that draft and Eric Kendricks in the 2nd round. Both players filled their needs at the position but Kendricks was the better of the two players even though he was drafted in the 2nd round and Barr was a very high 1st round pick who was over drafted. It still worked out, just so happens the 2nd round pick was better than the 1st round pick was.

Really hard to see Montgomery holding up for 17 games with this workload. Dude has already missed 1 game.

Dynasty or redraft?

My problem isn't Gibbs. Dude is electric. My problem is that guys had to draft him in the 3rd round to roster him.
correct.
it wasnt clear which was going to be more valuable.
but when I saw the Lions lining up Gibbs in various ways around the offense I got to thinking they want to use him to create mismatches in the passing game. Not as much to run the football. I didnt think that would be the top priority with him. At least not this year.
at that point I figured Montgomery was likely a decent pick. and the fact hes a reasonably decent blocker as well will likely keep him on the field a little longer.
I do think Gibbs still has a very bright future but he may take a little longer before your draft pick in dynasty pays off.
that may mean later this season or it may mean sometime next year. hard to say for sure. I do believe at some point he will get the keys to the offense. Its just a matter of time but if you own Gibbs, you will need to be patient.

+ pass protection
My guess is Goff doesn't trust him yet in the passing game. When he does Gibbs will be more involved in the passing game and will get more snaps

NFL playbooks are so hard. Sometimes I think we just assume everyone pick up the 500 plays and the 20 specific variations of those 500 plays. Sounds like maybe he is struggling a bit. I'm guessing of course. Hard to reach full potential when your over thinking what your supposed to actually do on each play. Once again I'm guessing here

The Lions offense has been pretty efficient without much help from Gibbs. Williams is coming back has to be worked into the offense now as well.
With a healthy Monty being the bell cow and goal line RB it looks like Gibby will be lucky to get 8-10 carries a game. I want to see them get him more involved in the passing game. Some screens in space, bubble screens, just let him do his thing. But Goff now is looking St. Brown and LaPorta first.
Right now I am thinking Gibby is the type of player that will help the Lions win some football games this season with some big plays, but not help the FF teams as much.

He’s looked great to me when he’s been on the field(save for the continuous slipping when he runs routes.)
It’s the usage and utilization that’s most concerning to me. I just expected more than 8 carries and a handful of targets a game.

His receiving production is where he is falling short, I imagine for the Lions. It's a more difficult aspect of the game than just taking the ball and going. Considering how well he is running I imagine this is fixable.
He's disappointing to fantasy managers that's for sure, but the gap between magic football and the 3-1 Lions is huge.
He may only see 14 opportunities per game RoS. And he may only finish with 1,058 yards on the season with 60 receptions. So long as the Lions keep winning I think they'll be thrilled with that outcome. We're the only ones who will be upset.

It's not that he's playing badly as much as it hasn't "clicked" for him just yet. It'll happen soon enough....it's just a matter of staying patient. I'm willing to wait, even if that means benching him for a bit until that light bulb comes on.
