Gurley: Ready by training camp

[Jeremy Igo]

#Georgia RB Todd Gurley (ACL), who had medical rechecks yesterday & today, checked out fine, source said. Viewed as good to go for the draft

Does this effect your opinion of the Panthers possibly selecting him?

( Yes yes, he may not be there for you morons that like to point that out in every topic. Him not bring there is a given, it may happen, we get it, now stfu)

[ncmonzta]

I'm down with it. A healthy J.Stew and this guy, gah damn!!!

[juliosantos]

thats good news, hope we draft him . i wouldn't mind trading up and jumping sandiego and arizona to get him because i feel they are our biggest threats in getting gurly.

[Ornias]

I would rather have a healthy Gurley than the 5th or 6th best receiver/OT.

[Cary Kollins]

With this news I wouldn't be mad if we moved up a little to get him.

 

 

Don't see that happening though.

Let's just say I'd be cautiously optimistic if we drafted him. I'd love the upside and the possibility of landing an elite workhorse back... but if can't stay healthy it's not worth it. His running style with NFL defenders banging him repeatedly is worrisome. I'm just not sure he could handle 20+ carries a game once Stew is no longer a Panther.

Ultimately I'd much rather take a healthy back with #1 potential in rounds 2-4.

id take gurly over anyone in this draft

Although it should be noted teams would absolutely have their hands full trying to slow down a tandem of Stew and Gurley. That combo would wear down any defense in the league in the second half of games. Especially the soft defenses in Atlanta and New Orleans.

I am fully on board the Gurley train. I might still wonder about the "what if" if Shaq Thompson isn't ours. But the first time Gurley scores some spectacular TD I will forget haha.

I saw a mock somewhere that had the Falcons taking him. I'm not sure we could really move up even past San Diego. Not without sacrificing picks that Gman could use to draft more gems. This draft is loaded with great talent in rounds 3-5.

I think the Cardinals are the real team we need worry about in the Gurley sweepstakes.

[TheRumGone]

i'll be fully behind the pick if he is selected by us.

 

right now i don't want him

i seen that too but idk if anyone will reach on gurly that early in the draft. im thinking he falls to the 15 - 17 range and i think we can get away with trading our first and maybe a  3rd rounder to trade up . all depends what players are falling.

Ditto. I still believe landing a 6'7, 316 pound human being in Peat @25 is better and certainly more difficult to find.

He tore it in mid-November and he's supposed to be good to go by July?

Hard to believe... but wow if so.
