Bijan has 103 carries to Tyler's 116.

Bijan is 22nd in rushing attempts, and is 41st in redzone rushing attempts (seriously what the actual fuck).

It is absolutely criminal his usage. Even if he was a 7th round pick, with that production, I would expect him to be RB1, but the EIGHTH pick to be used like this is shocking.

I cannot comprehend what Arthur Smith thinks is best for the team, when our 3 best offensive skill positions are basically just used as decoys.

Any Falcons fan could tell you that Kyle Pitts would be 1st team all pro on most teams, the man catches literally anything and is always open, but nah, Jonnu Smith is our guy.

I mean, I disagree

you don't draft a player that high just to run them into the ground when you're QB options are Desmond Ridder or Taylor Heinecke. If Bijan truly is a "generational" RB, it makes sense to use him sparingly if you feel like you don't really have a great chance to make a run. You don't have to necessarily wait until his second contract...they could have a better QB option in years 3-4 of his rookie contract
