Is TG30 already the best?

[fearsomefour]

Best, I don't know.
But he is up there.
When he really gets his head around protections and the passing game ....look out.

And there is no one else in the conversation if we are factoring age in.

I hate to say the "I" word, but that is the only knock on him (Gurley)...He needs to prove durability.

He was the youngest player in the entire draft.

Leonard Fournette is a full year older than Gurley. Can you imagine Todd Gurley, one year from today, running against college defenses? LOL

Well so far so good cause he carried a grown man's load today.

[A55VA6]

Crazy to say, but yes. What he's dne the last 2 games is unreal.

 

[Yamahopper]

He will get much better over the next half dozen games. I don't think he's quite at full speed yet.

 

[…..]

............... But I have no problem saying he's been the best the past two weeks and it just so happens that these past 2 weeks are his only NFL starts.

Devonta Freeman would like to have a word with you

So far, the Rams crushed the 2015 draft.

3 quality starters in the first 2 days, one of them a superstar, depth at a position that needed depth badly on day 3, a 7th round LB that is already chipping in on STs and may be a future part of this D, and an UDFA that has turned into a special teams standout.

Yeah, it sucked losing the 6 to a medical condition that should have been scouted, and it was a mistake not to take a shot on La'el - but it's safe to go ahead and start celebrating this draft in my opinion.

 

[Elmgrovegnome]

I don't like running him for 30 plays a game. It seems a bit early to work him that hard...........plus how many years will be great running that many plays?

 

[Elmgrovegnome]

Devonta Freeman would like to have a word with you

Freemans totals rushing this season are 18, 25,141,68, 153

Gurleys totals rushing this season 9, 146, 159


Natedawg said Gurley is the best in the past two weeks...............so he is correctomundo!

Put Gurley in that offense and he'd get 250-300 yards a game. Obviously I'm slightly exaggerating but if Freeman had to play for the Rams the past two weeks I don't think he totals over 120 yards in either game. Freeman is good, but his offense makes him look better than he is.

 

[bluecoconuts]

Hard to say that, given it's such a small sample size, but he's been amazing the past two games.. He's top 10 in rush yards, with less carries, and higher average than everyone above him.. I could see him finishing top 5 easily.

 

[RamzFanz]

If the rams fix the o-line, this is going to be a blowout caliber offense with Gurley being the anchor.

 

[junkman]

Sometimes stats paint a pretty clear picture.

10th in the league in rushing yards despite only playing 2 games out of 5, both against very good defenses. Only 124 yd behind league leader Forte.

Top ypc in the league.

Most 40 yard runs and most 20 yard runs.

And thats with an inexperienced ol, poor passing and a knee brace protecting his recently healed acl. Wait until he gets his confidence. I wonder what he'll do against Cleveland and their 2nd worst rush d in two weeks, with the rams rested up and pissed.

Yes, this kid Gurley is unreal.

 

[GabesHorn]

No one has mentioned anything about what we can get throwing to GURLEY one day. We eventually found a way to get Tavon the ball in the open too. I know First things first. We need to run more plays from our Jet sweep packages . Like the Georgia Tech unique style of offense you have to really study to have a clue who and where the ball is going. Once I saw if we had faked it to Austin and gave it to Gurley he would have been free. Fake that Jet sweep once or twice. Cignetti will create a whole new playbook before this season is over. Get it to our weapons. Gurley,Austin,Bailey then what?

 

[Ram65]

He has the talent. He has got to show it over a longer period of time. How 'bout a TD!

 

[NateDawg122]

He has the talent. He has got to show it over a longer period of time. How 'bout a TD!

Obviously he could have had the one TD he pulled up on against Arizona. He could've had another on that 52 yard run if he didn't have the knee brace and I'd say the same thing goes for his 55 yarder today.

 

[DaveFan'51]

He's not even 100% yet

Very True! and yet, in the 3 games he's played in he's ranked , as foll0ws, to date:
* 12th in rushing yards, 314.
* 6th in attempts per game, 18.1
and
* he's Tied for 1st in yards per game at 104+, with Chris Ivory.
Not a bad start to a Career!!
