Gurley gave us 3 great years and 1 so so year before we resigned him. I don't think I would have resigned him since running backs especially ones with past knee issues don't usually last over 5 years. But with looking back at his performance, I have no problems with Fisher drafting him number 10.
So maybe after this first year with Lewis where he has minor issues here and there, maybe we can get 2 or 3 very good years out of Lewis with offseason training and conditioning in the pros. I hope to hell the COVID vaccine makes it so we can go about business as normal so our rookies and second year players can go back to training at the Rams facility.
Note - please don't derail this thread into a COVID discussion lol.
I hope Lewis can stay healthy but if they lose Floyd then banking on Lewis as the main man is risky.
I’m never a fan of taking Runningbacks top ten or even top 20. Especially with a torn ACL in his history. They get injured too easily and often have a lot of college wear on them. I was totally against giving Gurley the huge contract.
But yeah he gave the Rams a few great years.
