I think the Rams are going to use Gurley juuuuust right. Thank you. This is kind of the idiotic logic that says Logging Companies are clear cutting the land, and creating deforestation! They have a vested interest in a healthy management of the trees, planting many more than they harvest, and keeping the land healthy. Trees are a renewable resource.
The Rams have a vested interest in Gurley remaining healthy and in peak condition. Thus "using him" just enough.
Do you think we would do Todd any favors if we rested him more? He is a beast. He wants us to "use" him. He wants that next contract. He be a'ight.
If they store him in bubble wrap on the sidelines, people begin to whisper what a bust he is, and maybe he gets traded to Indianapolis for a first round pick, or something crazy.
I think this talk is the work of the envy crowd. I forgot about this dynamic. Often seen here in Northern California, and other places. I remember when the Rams were in LA before it happened quite a bit. NorCal radio and beat reporters always talking down LA, saying how San Francisco is more effete, and classy. Elitist blowhards.
You see it in catty circles with teenage girls, too. (And beyond) Jealous people saying anything to drag the object of their envy down. ("Did you see her hair? Oh. My. Gosh." "Guys think she's so pretty, but she is
so not good at cheerleading"....and my favorite of late, "They are going nowhere with Case Keenum at quarterback. Enjoy 7-9 Los Angeles!"

Let's just all rest, and observe.
Patience, Augustus. :burp: Save some room for later. We'll be just fine.
