LoOnAtIk 75 Posted September 4, 2020 I’ve been tellin you guys about Gibson, I’m very high on him. This is definitely good news for him, but still no guarantee on who will gets the bulk of the work. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beer22 2 Posted September 4, 2020 Probably a rotating backfield until someone gets hot... especially with no preseason to judge from. I'm pulling for Bryce Love. He was awesome at Stanford before getting hurt. Would be a great comeback story. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

polecatt 402 Posted September 4, 2020 Oh, I've known about Gibson since he was in college, I don't much think he will fit into an every down RB sort of role though, he'll line up all over and make plays. I thought AP was going to be their guy once again, going into the season the starter. I can't really say I'm too shocked though, he's a 35 year old RB. You have to wonder if this is it for him in the NFL? Can he/ will he sign with another team? We'll see... When people talk about the best RB of all time, this guy should be in the discussion. All the greats I have seen play RB, Dickerson, Payton, Emmitt Smith, Barry Sanders, Ladanian Tomlinson, Marshall Faulk, and plenty of others, and I must say, Adrian Peterson was as good as any of them. He was the perfect combination of speed and power. He was fun to watch play Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They don’t need 4 and all the buzz is Barber and Mckissic have looked well in camp. I’m rooting for Love too but I think he’s last in the pecking order currently. Peyton Barber has to be the name to keep an eye on. Not sexy at all but he has the most experience of all of them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,459 Posted September 4, 2020 Barber as been my pick. Plus he’s still on the team, he’s the one to own, he’ll get the short yardage goal line work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vikings4ever 496 Posted September 4, 2020 It's possible Washington is trying to play the system and is hoping to re-sign him after week 1 so his contract isn't guaranteed, but AD has shown he still has enough in the tank that other teams have to have some interest.

In terms of fantasy production this season, I think this news catapults him up the rankings with the other rookie RBs this year not named Edwards-Helaire. And you and I got him for much cheaper.

justforbeer 39 Posted September 4, 2020 We are talking about Washington, I wouldn’t have high expectations of any player right now on that team except for maybe Terry M. Peterson was on my roster bubble and I just cut him and put barber in his place. Really just a bye filler in an emergency.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not over his career when he was the best RB of his generation in Minny. Conflating Barber to that is just silly. Then again, so is talking yourself into believing that your 11th round pick is going to be a fantasy star.

LoOnAtIk 75 Posted September 4, 2020 You still have yet to tell me what has Peyton Barber ever done? Why do I have to ask 3 times? Is your skull that thick? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LoOnAtIk 75 Posted September 4, 2020 You heard it from the horse’s mouth. Gibson is the RB that Washington is hype about. Peyton Barber AT BEST, is a bad RB on a bad team who might sniff some goal line work. Tell me where the upside is there. Bryce Love is equally unproven to Gibson yet you said this move is more “about Barber and Love” The evidence is laid out in front of you, yet you’re the one that’s dreaming lol That Peyton Barber Will somehow become fantasy relevant in Washington LMFAO!!

He beat out ADP to be the between the tackles runner for the 2020 Snyders, unless Bryce Love is that guy, or they resign ADP for at a minimum salary. Regardless, what does it matter what Barber has done? What has Gibson done? One thing Barber has done, is he played RB in both College and the pros. Man, I like Gibson, He is one of my later round RB targets, but arguing with Fantasy owners with delusions of grandeur is an exercise in futility....Hope that penetrated, but I doubt it...

Love was a star in College, injuries are what has kept him back. We have no idea what he can do as he has yet to play. Regardless, Gibson is the only one I’m interested in for Fantasy...

You really keep downplaying this angle. Yes, I trust AD’s opinion of a RB over yours and even mine. If he says it’s the Gibson show, why would you not take it for what it really is? A HOF RB who still thinks he has something left to offer got let go of by a team that wants to use Gibson. He didn’t mention anyone else. A few days ago I had it as a RBBC but news is constantly flowing. Gotta roll with the punches. This news is great for all the Washington RBs but the fact he mentioned Gibson has to make you think he’s the top dawg. At least for now. No reason to think it’s Barber, he’s proven exactly what he is, a plodder. No reason to think it’s Love because he’s equally unproven as a professional and was not mentioned by coaches or AD, specifically. theres no need to be cryptic here, AD isn’t a coach. That’s the way I view it, at least. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
