What to expect from Gurley

[Legatron4]

I think he's a faster Eddie Lacy

I expect Gurly will average over 5 yards a carry!

And, I expect Todd will quickly establish himself as an excellent receiver, out of the backfield.

2.500 yards on the ground...
But I'm a homer from LA....

So he's going to make Dickerson look average! ( this probably should have been Blue Font!!):shades:

realistically i see him getting somewhere around 800-900 rush yds and 6-8 tds. I think he plays maybe 10-12 games total.

From what i can tell he isn't much of a receiving back. He can take a screen to the hizzie just like AP, but i don't see him getting a ton of receiving yds. Mason excelled as a receiving back in college and will probably maintain that role here even when Gurley starts, for this season.

I believe we are going to see a RB that will break another Ram's Single Season Rushing Record (this year, or next).

He is the next great Rams RB, which will include Dickerson and Marshall Faulk...

FWIW here are Gurley vs. Mason College stats.
Gurley - 30 games - 65 Receptions - 615 yards - 6 Receiving TD'd
Mason - 38 games - 19 Receptions - 249 yards - 1 Receiving TD.

I don't think either were elite pass catchers in college. I do think Gurley will be the more elite pass catching back in the pros.

When he comes back 100%...

 

[Big Willie]

I expect him to become the next great Ram RB in the mold of Hirsch, Bettis, Dickerson, and Faulk.

This ^ would be amazing if it happens!!

To be honest, I hope Gurley becomes everything I wished SJ was. SJ never had great vision, his speed was good but not great and he had poor acceleration and body lean. If Gurley who already has SJ's strengths (size, strength, pass catching and blocking - though I know it took awhile for SJ to get blocking down) has any of those other things, we could see a stud. Oh, and I hope he stays healthy!
