This signing allows us to go after a top tier OL in the second, a Kinlaw/Cushenberry 1-2 would be amazing! Also possible to trade up for Derrick Brown...ohh the possibilities! 

[Snafu 5,575]

Yall can keep banging on his knee if you want, but he still produced 1000 AP yards, 14 TD's and nearly 60 1st down conversions. 

 

Even with the arthritis he's a better back than anyone we've had since Mike Turner.

And this is why my draft board hasn't with these two big signings. We STILL need another pass rusher and we STILL need a RB to carry the load.

Gurley is more of a closer coming until proven otherwise.

[Jay Z 59]

I'm good with this move! Can't be for much $$$... Had a down year, but was better than Freeman. Don't have to invest a early RD pick on RB. Sounds like a win to me!

[Dirtier Bird 100]

Not a fan unless he can he play offensive guard or tackle. Have you seen our O Line get knocked back a yard on running plays? He will need three yards after contact to gain one yard.

[ThemDarnFalconsBoy! 208]

Deja vu. 

[atljbo 20,149]

We received signed Neasman.... Yessssssss

Seems like a Ray Edwards 2.0 & Steven Jackson 2.0 type of year, all in one. I’m guessing it is due to the year. So far, 2020 is shaping up to be a disappointing season.

Sounds like what he dealt with last season lol

[runshoot 1,108]

steven jackson.

Same broken RB same broken run game offense.

Why would anyone be excited?

[Snafu 5,575]

On a 1 year deal, all risk is mitigated. Worth the gamble for a player of his potential.

One year deal is smart, if he blows up.resign him if not then let.him go. But something tells me that he will be proving a lot of people wrong. This sounds exciting, Gurley with Julio, Ridley, and Hurst ?? Who can all stretch the field. Dmn 

A 1 year deal doesnt fix his knee and a 1 year deal doesnt fix Koetters offense.

I remember the last time we signed a RB from Rams into a Dirk offense.....

I've never been hungry for Gurley as I wanted pass rush in 2015.   I can say I'm neither here nor there emotionally.  I hope we get the best version of him as he is a beast when healthy.  One year deal makes sense but I am more concerned with how this changes plans.   Clearly all the moves up to this point seemed planned and thought out but this one seems like a departure from that.

Great signing. Not sure how anyone can rip on this. It is one year deal for one of the most talented backs in the NFL who is still young. These are the types of moves that the top teams make. If he doesn't do well, he is gone after this year. If he has a great year, you try to resign him or take the comp pick.

[SkerFalcon8710 18,444]

Whiniest board on earth. Sounds like yalls cycles sync’d up

[atljbo 20,149]

Let me say this about Gurly.... I would not have did it... Just get a young cheap option in the draft... I get it tho... it will put butts in the seat

 

Now do I think he can have a 1200 yard 10 TD season.... I do...  What scares me is I don't want that to trick this team into thinking he can consistently be that guy then resign him to a big deal with them knees.

[youngbloodz 14,212]

It’s actually a smart business move because UGA fans love Gurley. He won’t be the focal point of this offense so it has zero downside 

[Rings 4,330]

Very happy it’s a one year deal and not a long term investment.  Depending on price this could be a good signing, and since the Rams are paying him a ton to not be on the team, it should be very low.

That's my guy.. praying he makes it to the 4th because I can't see us taking a RB with our top 3 picks.

Agreed.  We all know he has a bum knee but I bet he gives all he has to stay healthy and helps us win some games.
