I guess I will go through every single post on the front page and let them know how stupid they are..Mines a fantasy, call it stupidity if you want, but I'm not the guy who didn't run the ball. Thats the only person I will call stupid that represents Atl in anyway Naah, this is a particularly stupid thread. The caps hits for moving Gurley mean it won't happen even if they wanted it to. Even if they wanted to, Falcons aren't taking that much cap on for another RB. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There’s literally no way in h@ll that the Rams trade Gurley, let alone the Falcons being the one to make an offer for Gurley. On a side note, Gurley wasn’t injured. Both he and McVay said he was fine. TAFT Logic: McVay: Gurley is fine. TAFT: No, Gurley is hurt! Gurley: I’m fine. TAFT: No, you’re hurt! F@cking crazy lol Still believe he was hurt. Something wasn't right. Even when he did get snaps, Gurley didn't play that well and didn't look like he did during the season. It was reported that Gurley was injured going into the playoffs. Also, I find it hard to believe McVay would take his best offensive player off the field for most of the postseason and SB unless he wasn't healthy. I think it was similar to how Julio is used as a decoy when he is injured. It forces opposing defenses to still have to heavily gameplan for him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I like McVay but his handling of Gurley was like watching a child (McVay) try to emulate an adult (Bill B.) Gurley looking like me out there running the ball and McVay just put his fingers in his ears and was like "he's not hurt, he's not hurt, he's not hurt, la la la la la" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

His mannerisms, as well as McVay’s, didn’t lead me to that conclusion. There was a report I read on the Rams’ message board that said he refused to answer reporters’ questions. Now this is just speculation, but I personally believe it could be a few different things. 1: Mental Issues 2: Personal Issues 3: McVay may have lost confidence in him. (Least likely) Either way he didn’t perform. There’s been an ongoing narrative on this board that we would have won the Super Bowl if we had Gurley. I think this is the ultimate “nail in the coffin” for that stance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I remember it being reported that Gurley was injured going into the playoffs. I sure as **** don't believe that "we just wanted to split carries" statement from McVay.

Falcons_Frenzy 3,708 Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 I'm down for trading for Gurley. After the Super Bowl performance I'd give a 7th rounder for him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I remember it being reported that Gurley was injured going into the playoffs. I sure as **** don't believe that "we just wanted to split carries" statement from McVay. Yeah I doubt it’s a lack of confidence. Perusing the Rams message boards a bit, there seems to be a contingent of fans that believe he got lazy after he got his payday. As well as some that believe there’s some character underlying character issues surfacing. That’s just speculation though. Gurley played 66% of the snaps in the Super Bowl. He only ran 10 times but he still had to block or go out on routes. Rams had a total of 18 rushing attempts, so he still had more touches than Anderson. That’s pretty active, all things being considered. I can’t speculate on what information pundits/analysts were giving out. By Gurley’s own words he’s not injured. He even went on to mention that he’s been on a “2 month break”. I can only go off by what the man says. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Build the OLine, and the rushing game will be revitalized with Free, Ito and company. We don't need Gurley. We need linemen. True Quote Link to post Share on other sites
