In all fairness to Gus Edwards, how do we KNOW what he is at this point? He was an average back his true freshman year. He improved his sophomore year. He missed all last year, and this is his first year with a real coaching staff. I'm excited for all of our players finally getting a real chance to shine. I'm not holding anything they did under Golden, Coley, and D'Onofrio against them. It's clean slate time.
It's laughable at people trying to sh*t on Gus when even the head coach(richt) who has coached knowshon moreno, gurley, Chubb and Sony Michel has said that Edwards has some ability. Let it play out he's coming off a bad foot injury and was probably running with the 1s. It will take some more practices for him to get into form
Don't be so sensitive. Guy has been labeled all kinds of things and hasn't lived up to a lot of the hype some have given him. He isn't a bad player, he is what he is to this point, and why people don't accept that Ill never understand.
My post was a jab at all those making outlandish predictions. Why would he be running with the 1's when he's never been option one? You compound that silly assumption saying he needs more time to get back to form. News flash, his from has been where he was....the third option at best.
Guy has been misused from day one. We will see what the new staff has in store for him and I hope it works out for him.
Gus has been nothing more than average at best his entire career here. As I said, that's nothing against him, he's just been misused.
When you saw Duke, Portis, McGahee, Edge, etc for the first time, you knew they were special. Gus has never shown that and while his coaching has failed him, when he gets the ball in his hands he still doesn't show well.
The rest I covered previously.
