I think it’s funny how for like, 4 years Gus has been a massively reliable angry runner who never fails to get a couple yards after contact. He runs like a grown ass man y’know? I feel like even though he’s been so good for so long he’s never talked about as a star. Where do you place him? Top 10?
Edit to add something: It’s just so strange that Gus obviously isn’t “elite” but he also never fails to deliver, right?

From this thread seems like he is the Dalton Line of running backs
He’s a good downhill runner but there’s a reason why this team was desperately trying to add Josh Jacobs at the trade deadline
Great starter
Gus is not close to an elite RB. He is consistent and dependable but hardly one of the best RBs in the league. Keaton Mitchell just had a better game than just about any Gus has had in his entire career in his first career start. I love the Gus Bus and his style of play but there are probably at least 20 RBs in the NFL I would rather have on the team than him who are more versatile players and more talented with the ball in their hands. This sub needs to watch other teams play lol.
Love him but he’s not a RB1
It’s hard to say. With the exception of the tail end of 2018, when he replaced Alex Collins as the main back as the Ravens changed to the Greg Roman offense, he’s never been the main back. They acquired Ingram the next year, and drafted Dobbins the year after that. The Ravens have also moved away from having a feature back, preferring a committee approach (as have many other teams).
The Ravens liked him enough to extend him, which says quite a bit in this era.
He’s not a Chubb or Barkley, but he’s a very capable RB who consistently provides positive yardage. I can’t think of a time he’s gone backward after contact: he falls forward. In some ways he reminds me of Eric Rhett, because, like Rhett, he extremely consistent at getting positive yards whenever he touches the ball.
Casual fans won’t know him outside of fantasy because of his missed time, and he’s not carrying our offense like some other star RBs. He is very solid when healthy and it’s been a tragedy everytime he has gone down.
