Again, this conjecture is supported by a fact (the Rams are continuing to pay Gurley) and certainly is logical.None of this means that Bob is necessarily right, but in the absence of access to all facts, I'd say his conjecture is very reasonable. 1 by Elvis 4 years 10 months ago Total posts: 38436 Joined: Mar 28 2015 Los Angeles Administrator Wherefore art thou, Gurley?

The known fact that seems to support this conclusion is that you have frequently (perhaps more than anyone else here) posted cautionary and somewhat pessimistic comments regarding Gurley's knee. The conjecture that this indicates worry on your part is entirely logical.Bob also opined that the Rams willingness to pay Gurley his full compensation, rather than attempting to renegotiate, suggests confidence in his health. Again, this conjecture is supported by a fact (the Rams are continuing to pay Gurley) and certainly is logical.None of this means that Bob is necessarily right, but in the absence of access to all facts, I'd say his conjecture is very reasonable. 1 by Elvis 4 years 10 months ago Total posts: 38436 Joined: Mar 28 2015 Los Angeles Administrator Wherefore art thou, Gurley? POST #37 Gurley has what, $50 million in guarantees at signing, according to Sportrac, has a dead cap number of $35 million this year? Cutting him would seem like a non starter financially regardless of anything else.The situation is certainly curious. The Rams have a very specific plan for Gurley but apparently that plan isn't for public consumption. Why not just say, here's when we plan to have Gurley practicing with the team, here's when we plan to have him at full participation?There's no mystery about the Cooper Kupp plan.I don't know what the advantage or implications are of the way the Rams are handling the Gurley situation but it's no wonder fans and reporters alike are taking notice...
