Yeah.
There was definitely something wrong with him.
He was sixty percent of the running back he used to be last year.
And believe me I was on TG's side because he's a Carolina boy like myself.
Plus he was a rare talent when he had his knees underneath him.
I want to, hat in hand, apologize to anybody who I was abrupt with who claimed Gurley was not 100%.
By the end of the season, I realized you guys were right.
Damn it!

lol it’s no explaining this. The players saw him get away from Gurley in crunch times the team saw him bench Gurley when he fumbled McVay is a pass first guy and he has a ego he try to come across as player friendly but he’s clearly trying to make his NAME to the detriment of the team. Now the pressure is all on him. No more Fisher stink no more Gurley knee no more Mad Bum not adjusting this is fully his team now and we will see how he handles real pressure
Because in that scenario the Rams would have a 1st round pick?
I’m gonna hate next year as we watch Gurley torch the league playing for someone else.
No because they couldn’t do a physical that’s the only reason why he wasn’t traded. But we will see which running back have a better year and career Gurley or whoever lol
I don't know that there's anything wrong with him. I think his reduction in production can be attributed to (in order of importance):
1) Our line not mauling or creating holes for him last year (which, honestly, looks like it'll continue this year)
2) Being underutilized by McVay, and when he was used, he was used in predictable fashions (plus, McVay stopped adjusting to game conditions last year. The whole coaching staff regressed, really)
3) Tying in with 2, not being used dynamically out of the backfield. Take a look at how many fewer passes Goff lobbed at him

Fuck me, so instead of a $8m cap hit to cut him next season it's $10m now without his services for this season.
.
After allowing my anger to subside, I think they made the right move. Looking at Gurley's contract, it would have been a pain to get out of it next year too.
I like Rams
Hall of Fame
Wouldn’t be surprised if Gurley and another team like the Bucs already have a deal in place
And look on the bright side, if they sign a UFA to replace him, they lose ground in the comp pick formula.
Oh wait a minute, that's not a good thing
