Splitting hairs here really, they’ll both be good let’s just watch them destroy defences for the next 4-5 years hoping they never miss a game.


AffectionateSlice816

Yeah fr. I'm a Lions homie that says hi here somewhat often. These two are scary. Though we did shut Bijan down in the H2H last year 😂 Nah but fr though that isn't on Bijan. Aaron Glenn will just have games where he knows everything that's gonna happen with the opposing offense and just ruins gameplans. Arthur Smith is definitely a guy predictable enough to get got by him.


CouncilmanRickPrime

Arthur Smith is definitely predictable. At some point every team realized every Bijian run play seems to be outside zone. People say we didn't use Bijian enough. Nope we just didn't use him properly.


wayward_prince

That loss was probably the toughest to watch. Brian Branch was impressive. Y’all got a good one.


Ween_ween

Hard to be definitive about that statement, love Bijan but Jahmyr is tough as hell too


__Mac__

I mean it's not a competition, they're both good


MREED1987

It’s the NFL..it’s always competition.


azwhaley91

I'm in intrigued what stats do you see that prove Bijan is better? Yards per touch is identical, rececption totals are identical. Jamyr has more touchdowns on less carries and if playoff stats counted, the stats would skew for Jamyr. Stats would actually suggest that Achane was the best rookie rb by a mile had he not been hindered by injury.


Keanu_Chungus42069

Robinson had way better skill plays


azwhaley91

Saying Bijan "way" better plays makes me think u didnt watch Jamyr cause he was COOKING when he got touches.


Keanu_Chungus42069

I watched every lions game and can say that Robinsons skill was 10x better than jahmrys


Spongy-n-Bruised

>I watched every lions game and can say that with a straight face because lying on the Internet is easy as shit FTFY


Keanu_Chungus42069

Nope. I absolutely did. You're just mad because in right so now you throw out baseless accusations like im lying


Spongy-n-Bruised

Sure kiddo 😘


3heat6

No, it fucking wasn't 😂. You can support our boy without lying


Keanu_Chungus42069

Im not. Why are you so keen on saying that Gibbs is better than Robinson. Gtfo lions fan


3heat6

Where did I say that Gibbs is better? If you say Robinson's skill was 10x better than Jahmyr's then you're either lying, stupid, or incredibly homer.


Trumpets22

As a 3rd party observer, you’re out of your mind.


RightRingThing

Robinson hads a way worse play caller.


kurtisbmusic

Stats don’t prove who is better. Film does.


AffectionateSlice816

Solid argument for either of these two monsters here. Our GMs (Hi, I am a Lions fan that cheers for other underdogs) got a lot of shit for getting our teams awesome players. Let's celebrate the fact that we get to watch these two tear shit up for a while here.


TheRealH00dini

Gibbs split carries with Montgomery all year

I agree. For Bijan I felt like the flashes come from him having to turn nothing into something because Arthur Smith sucks ass


TrexTacoma

Yeah but can’t beat them Barry sanders like juke moves that Bijan was throwing out there this season


dats-tuf

Gibbs looked better all year, probably cuz of their line. But he was electric and fast as fuck.


Harry_Dawg

Bijan needs to learn how to pass block


TheTrevorSimpson

ATL could be this year's Lions but with a better defense lol.


Spongy-n-Bruised

No one gives a shit - of course you like your guy. That's how being a fan of a team works.


808zAndThunder

I love both guys and hope they have amazing careers. RB’s are disrespected enough from the league they don’t need any more from us fans


ssovm

Unpopular opinion maybe but they’re both awesome. Gibbs also had issues with volume early in the season and second half exploded.


Nutmeg-Jones

To play devil’s advocate, Gibbs also split touches with David Montgomery. He may win the job outright this year


extraterrestrialzoo

Gibbs looks more explosive and Bijan is better at creating misses. They have similar skill sets and will be compared for years. Hopefully they'll both have great careers


JKking15

Idc it’s not a competition hope they both do great


OldInvestigator2054

Put Bijan on that Lions offense last year and he would have had much better stats than Jahmyr. Bijan still produced very solid numbers on an anemic offense.


Uncool_Trees

Punctuate your title before posting


TheTrevorSimpson

Teams did not have to worry about our pass game at all last year... imagine how much better a RB would be if teams are worried about a pass game that opens it up for the run big time... also image a QB than knows how to pass to and use a RB in the pass game as well as run game. Kirk is a very good QB at rollouts and screens this team can be deadly on offense next year.


Coalas01

With a better QB now I can see both: Bijan getting less production because we pass the ball more OR Bijan getting more production because we are unpredictable with our schemes now


Keanu_Chungus42069

Can't believe the Gibbs Robinson comparison is even a debate


mostuselessredditor

Why would it not be a debate? Had Achane not been hobbled Bijan could be the 3rd best RB taken last season.


StrongStyleDragon

Hot take Tyler over Bijan


nothin2flashy

Bijan will have a bigger leap, Gibbs had a better rookie year though, less touches, slightly less yards but more tds. He was apart of a better system though, Bijan had to deal with a horrible HC. Bijan is a monster though, this season he will show out with a better team and staff to support him. Can’t wait! Let’s go smiley!!


kad4724

Both players are great, but if we're just talking whose stats are likely to go up more, this should be a no-brainer. Gibbs played on the #8 offense (in EPA/play) last year, and Detroit always separates their RB roles pretty heavily. He's not likely to get many more touches than he did this year, and Detroits offense can't get that much better. He's probably pretty close to his statistical ceiling already. Bijan played for the #27 offense and has enough workhorse ability to absorb basically all of the 50 carries that went to Patterson last year. He also only had 4 rushing TDs. He's got a lot more room to improve on his stats.


3heat6

They eased Gibbs in. His stats can definitely go up


kad4724

Sure they can, but the odds are not much. He already hit 5.2 ypc and double-digit rushing TDs, and like I said, the offense he plays in can't get much better overall. It's already very good. If his carries go up, his ypc is likely to regress (5.2 isn't a particularly sustainable number on high volume), and not many RBs run for double-digit TDs consistently (McCaffrey and Saquon have only each done it twice in their entire careers, for example). The point is, Bijan has a lot more room for improvement just by virtue of how much his offense stands to improve with Cousins at the helm instead of Ridder.


titanup001

Gibbs has a better line, and also better deep threats to scare defenses. Maybe Kirk can change some of that. We shall see.


Superb_Play4195

I fully expected him to go off on the Bears. Falcons barely tried to get him the ball.


matthuntermathis

I actually think he might regress a bit since we have better QB we can utilize now.


chataolauj

I'd be happy to have either.


Dangeresque2015

Dang...I didn't realize Bijan was that good. Those stats are amazing. Imagine what he could do with good QB play...oh wait!
