I’m with you.
Same reason it always is in situations like this. They are much smarter then all of us and aren’t sheep like us rubes are.
His name is spelled Belichick.
You theory here is that spilling the beans on their secret makes him MORE likely to keep his job? Interesting.
Rams should be fine on this if what the NFL is basing this information request on is CJ's interview because CJ was answering a question phrased to him as "when you got there". Rams can simply say of course Gurley was hurt when CJ got here, was listed on the injury report and deactivated weeks 16 and 17. We hid nothing.
Be way cooler. You're consistently reported as being a tool. Be way cooler. If you don't think you're being uncool, please find a new board.
Sure, no problem. Can you let me know how comments like "Yawn" and "Bye Felicia" are considered constructive posts in the Shark Pool though? I am genuinely asking why that type of content is acceptable here.FBG Moderator said:

It's clear the team is covering their butts so they don't get punished for lying on the injury report.
Not sure how much more clear I need to be. No need to quote me on this anymore. I’m done with you on this topic. We just need to agree to disagree and move on.
If the Rams get fined, Gurley was injured.
I think what the article really meant was they were going to treat McVey's brain with stem cells.
agree if they lied....fine em
I have to say the latest news regarding the need for stem cell treatment gives me reservations about taking Gurley at the top of the draft. I'm not sure he drops out of my top 12, but as an owner that disdains risk (even at the expense of upside) early in drafts/auctions, I'm more pessimistic now than at any point since the last Jeff Fisher year. Thankfully, I have no start ups on the horizon and we have several more months to cull through the information.
in the WSLs in the mock drafts forum here at FBG, he went at 1.4 and 1.5 respectively.....before the stem cell news....Come August if he is on the field, people will still take him top 5....
PPR I’m taking CMC and Kamara too over him. RB is risky enough. No way I spend a top 4 pick on him. If I get pick 5 or 6 and he’s there, then I’ll really have a decision to make. I’d consider Nuke over him too at that point and maybe even Gordon. Maybe training camp will clear some of this up.
Yeah, I think the gamesmanship with which they treated his injury for the Super Bowl leaves a lot of questions lingering about that five or six pick.
Oh, Dear Lord. The article specifically addresses what we've all been saying, too. The article is not final authority. But it's another piece of evidence that seems to be mounting in the direction of Gurley suffering an injury that hurt his ability to participate in the Super Bowl.
No, it does not. The question had nothing to do with his health during the SB. A reporter simply asked if they would consider stem cell treatment if Gurley's knee regressed in the offseason.
Not really. What it means is Gurley has articular surface cartilage damage in his knee and they're hoping that rest helps the inflammation and pain that its causing. Not a good situation anyway you cut it.
According to Sean McVay, Gurley is feeling good from both a physical and mental standpoint and nothing about the stem cell treatment had been communicated to him. The organization's concern over this seems extremely low at this point. Gurley owners/drafters should be more concerned about his reduced workload because of a RBBC than his health.
Say what? Gurley at 100% has absolutely no concern about being part of a RBBC. You're telling us an old, overweight, RB off the street is some kind of threat? Or anyone else for that matter? Gurley's knee is the part to be concerned with, and your big concern isn't that, but a reduced workload? Hello, the reduced workload was because of health.
CJ Anderson averaged nearly 5.5ypc with the Rams. "Old, overweight, RB off the street" is not an accurate description for that type of performance. He obviously impressed McVay enough to earn a RBBC in the NFFC and SB.
At this point there’s no reason to even respond to him. His “proof” will always be better and he’ll perform mental gymnastics to discredit anything that counters it. This recent example shows the ridiculous lengths he’ll go to be right.
It's really just so that people reading this can hear both sides of the argument and determine for themselves. If I was getting really upset about it or on the verge of suspension, I'd stop. But I'm simply pointing out that the overwhelming amount of evidentiary pieces point to injury rather than there being a sudden RBBC between Gurley/C.J. because of effectiveness concerns.
I’m just saying he’s so convinced that he’s smarter than everyone else that if Gurley’s leg fell off tomorrow he’d claim it was not proof that he was hurt during the Super Bowl and that McVey made a conscious decision to not use a guy that carried his team all season - and not use him as the weapon he was in the passing game - because Gurley just isn’t any good.
I like tjnc09. He reached out to me once when I was in a baseball argument with someone on the board.
This is really where the thread should be going. I'd have a hard time taking him with anything higher than a seven, really, especially in PPR, as somebody upthread pointed out.
I have nothing against him personally. I see he’s very argumentative in most topics (specifically here and the NBA thread and throws around that laughing emoji very often at other people’s opinions - which to me says he’s trying to show he’s so much smarter than the person he’s engaging with.
