i think that's probably part of it. the length of an NFL season bites a lot of rookie RBs historically. And Gibbs is not a big man. Saving him for the playoffs is probably a pretty good idea.
And it allows him to learn how to pass-pro at the NFL level at a slower pace, and anything else they want to ease him into over the next 10 weeks or whatever.
