Melvin Gordon's arrival is not bad news for Phillip Lindsay

Since the Denver Broncos signed free agent running back Melvin Gordon, it feels like the overwhelming reaction from the fan base has been negative, and for a variety of reasons.

Some fans just don't like the idea of signing a free agent running back on principle.

Others simply don't like the fact that the Broncos paid Gordon $16 million over two seasons when he has one season of 1,000 yards rushing to his name.

Many fans feel like Gordon signing was a sign of disrespect to incumbent RB1 Phillip Lindsay, the 2018 undrafted free agent star who has run for over 1,000 yards in his first two seasons with the Broncos and became the first undrafted rookie running back to make the Pro Bowl in NFL history.
