Seems aside from one year he has been pretty damn good.
When a team overpays the most overrated position in football and that player fails miserably when it counts the most, it's really quite a convenient excuse.
No RB who is truly great would average 3.2 ypc at the age of 22. Literally one of the worst seasons ever for the type of volume he saw that year.

Again though.. you are picking the one and only season where this happened.

I took Bell in the first at 1.8 and Gurley in the second at 2.5That's a championship pick paired with a performing first rounder.
Tyreek then Gurley for me at 1.10 and 2.3. Last seasons stats don’t always repeat but on paper I feel good. Everything can change quickly in this game though as we all know.
That majority group think was by his stock fell. So it’s not so bad being in the minority if things pan out.
CJ Anderson was literally signed off the street and averaged 7ypc. Performing "well" in McVay's system means nothing at all.

Yeah I'm a Gurley owner, not really sure how I can convince myself to take this as a positive. He was basically trading drives with Malcolm Brown and ceding goaline work. Not ideal.
I’m going to guess that it will be frustrating week to week. If they get any sort of lead, which they will, he’s going to get pulled off the feild a lot.
His is where it helps to just see box score and of watch the full game and get pissed when he is on bench.
Not really doom and gloom but its not warm fuzzies either on my side I guess. Should be a good rb2 regardless.His is where it helps to just see box score and of watch the full game and get pissed when he is on bench.
I just see him with a burst, almost 100 and he got his TDs vultured. Seems far cry from soon and gloom.
Can’t find snap counts yet or drives total for each, but there were 13 total drives by the Rams. My guess watching it Gurley got 8 or 9 of those and 2/3 the total snaps. If these bear out to be true, after all the offseason hype I will take 2/3’s the workload very happily. He finishes as a top ten back with this work load.
Sure. Today was a fluke of the rotation and the getting gassed after 2 big runs. 46TDs in his first 50 games. He’s still the GL back, hell he even was last yr when he was hurt in the playoffs. Not worried at all.
This is perfectly reasonable. And I’m in no way saying his snap count won’t be reduced but it’s not a 50-50 split and he hasn’t lost the goal line is all I’m saying. If he still gets the majority of the work 60 to 70% and the expected goal line work he’ll still put up great fantasy numbers. Brown will no doubt get more then he has in past years, no question.
Agree. And given the quality of the offense he’ll have plenty of good weeks. He doesn’t have to be top of the food chain to be valuable.
This is the kind of insight I was looking for since I didn’t see the game.dkp993 said:
For a couple years now it’s been a 3 series for Gurley 1 series for Brown rotation for the most part (late game exceptions withstanding). The first Brown TD was a Brown series ( Gurley had the prior 3 iirc). The second was gassed, the second long runs was a hard run at that. They showed Gurley gulping water on the sidelines.
