Location Determined now- Gurley v. Gordon- what say you? (1 Viewer)

[Tau837]

If we say Gurley is injury prone, can't we say Gordon is another Wisconsin system guy?

It's definitely one of the biggest concerns I have re: Gordon.

Don't be concerned about that at all. Just look at the numbers. Gordon's ypc blows guys like Dayne and Ball's out of the water. Gordon is way more talented than those guys.

Gordon led the NCAA in yards gained before contact last season. That suggests that his system and OL were superior. That isn't a knock on him but it does lend some credence to this concern.

At this time in the NFL, what back isn't part of a committee?

Maurice Jones-Drew.

Gotta be quicker on the draw MT!

I have the 1.01 and 1.02 in one league. I'm already chiseling Gurley's name in stone on the first pick. The bigger question, for me, is whether I'm taking Gordon or Cooper with the 1.02. (It's probably going to be Gordon because the league isn't PPR. Had it been, I might lean towards Cooper.)

 

[SayWhat?]

Rams have taken Gurley, Mannion, and three offensive lineman. With that D, there's no doubt what Fisher is about to do with Gurley. No brainer 1.01.

I am in the same boat in a league that is 0.5 PPR. Debating taking Gordon or Cooper (or maybe even White). Tough call RBs are scarce and I could use a couple. Think that will sway me to take Gordon. His landing spot is not terrible and arguably pretty good. He will be given every chance to succeed and San Diego invested a high pick in him. And hey if we are wrong, at least we also have Gurley!

I know but as someone who has watched every Badger football game over the past 20 plus years I can tell you that the Badgers offensive line wasn't as good as years past and with no passing game defenses really went all out to stop Gordon and other than Western Illinois (Can't figure out for the life of me how that happened) no one could. Gordon is easily the best Badgers RB ever...he's truly a special player...just wait. I'm not a Chargers fan nor am I an NFL scout so take my Gordon love with a grain of sand but he looks special to me.

I like Monte Ball and have met him in person...cool guy but I didn't feel this way about him. He ran behind an offensive line that had Peter Konz, Kevin Zeitler, Travis Frederick and Ricky Wagner...all NFL guys. Gordon's line had Havenstein and sophomore Center Dan Voltz (that may be a NFL player) that's it. The rest of that line while big didn't have the pedigree as Ball's line. The QB in Montee Ball's junior year was a guy named Russell Wilson and they also had a NFL WR in Jared Abbredaris. Last year's Badgers had no talent at QB and the WR position yet Gordon had the 2nd best season ever by a college RB. I'm excited to watch him light it up for the Chargers.

Is he way more talented or is was Wisconsin's line way more talented this year?

From watching him, I believe he is far and away the best Badger RB to come out.

Compare his YPC to his own teammate Corey Clement. That should answer your question.

 

[laurence of a flavia]

gordon will destroy the aptly named gurley

MARK IT DOWN !!!!!!!!!

are these the same guys who do this for a living who used a first round pick on richardson twice?

gordon will bury gurley, and when he does I want you to come back here, bump this, and tell me I know better than everybody who does this for a living.

so, did it get bumped or nah?

Larry has moved on. Probably working for an NFL front office now.
