CJ is starting to look like more of a need than a luxury.I am not so much responding to your post as much as I am just diving into the topic using your post as a springboard. Mostly I agree but this gets into shadowy territory. I am not sure it is exactly right to say TG would have been slowed down by an injury. I would say that he had a persistent condition that kept him from being 100% himself. So with inflammation that goes in and out of being bad, he can sometimes get the nod to play, but still not be entirely himself. In fact he could start out fine and it could flare up. It could be that off-season rest helps him. It could be a scope (which is not the same as serious cur and repair full scale surgery). He could come back from it his old self, or maybe still be vulnerable to the same thing. by Elvis 5 years 2 months ago Total posts: 38452 Joined: Mar 28 2015 Los Angeles Administrator Vinny On Gurley POST #16 TOPIC AUTHOR moklerman, DirtyFacedKid liked this post When someone like Vinny writes something like "Rams need to solve the mystery of what's going on with Todd Gurley," i can't help but think, "you're a reporter, maybe you can find out what the deal is..."

So with inflammation that goes in and out of being bad, he can sometimes get the nod to play, but still not be entirely himself. In fact he could start out fine and it could flare up. It could be that off-season rest helps him. It could be a scope (which is not the same as serious cur and repair full scale surgery). He could come back from it his old self, or maybe still be vulnerable to the same thing. by Elvis 5 years 2 months ago Total posts: 38452 Joined: Mar 28 2015 Los Angeles Administrator Vinny On Gurley POST #16 TOPIC AUTHOR moklerman, DirtyFacedKid liked this post When someone like Vinny writes something like "Rams need to solve the mystery of what's going on with Todd Gurley," i can't help but think, "you're a reporter, maybe you can find out what the deal is..."

Yeah he had a ton of touches against Detroit and yeah that TD against Dallas couldn't have been more Gurley like but on the whole, just don't think he was the same player.I heard Isaac Bruce say pretty much the same thing on the radio the other day.Am i right?

Gurley had two errors early so McVay moved on. I've seen that talked about by the armchair brigade too.
