Todd Gurley

I know this is waaaaay to early because he's not going to come out till 2015 but I want this kid Bad.

Home grown kid with Peterson like Size power speed combo.

 

Just as an armchair gm i'd try to get cam and the D tied up, then try to fill as much spots with the Draft

I'd be Very tempted to pull an Atlanta Julio situation if he ends up going top 10.  Getting rid of the old smash and dash with a Gurley Barner combo in the Shula offense=Cams best friend.  Even if we traded up for him.  We could get guys with the cap space post Williams/Stewart to fill in those other gaps such as WRs OL etc.

I'd say Gurley is a little more athletic than lynch.  Lynch is about 215 and runs around a 4.48-4.5

 

Peterson- 6'1 225 4.4

Gurley- 6'1 235 4.4

 

Gurley can run through or around people like Peterson.

i doubt bother comparing any rb to peterson because he's just on another level.

 

he sort of reminds me of marshawn lynch tho

i can tell you without looking it up that those numbers aren't accurate

Which ones.  Gurley played at about 230-240 last year.  He was a AA trackster in high school in Tarboro (ran a 4.36 Laser time in a combine his senior year).  He is a Freak size speed combo.

Looking toward 2015, I wouldnt mind trading up for Gurley if he is the real deal. Im not even sure if Dwill will be on this team next year. With all the injuries throughout Stew's career and a lot of money tied up to him, he may not even be on this team in 2015. I'm not placing the crown on Barner bc I dont believe that he can be full time cow bell for any team. He's a good 3rd back that comes in and change the pace of the game. With that, RB could be a possibility going into 2015. But, first we have to fill a lot of needs before we can talk about another RB. We have too much needs with too much guys on their last year of contract now.

 

But, I'm not sure if I would rather have Todd Gurley or "Amari Cooper" in 2015.

I'd take Gurley over Cooper.  Gurley has that it all; the power 230-240 bruiser, and the speed 4.36-4.4 40 track star speed.  He has been the best back in the SEC even as a Freshman (bama kid was good but would love to see what would happen were they to swap OL).  Gurley would be more important to Shula's O than cooper as well.

We do have many needs we need to address such as WR, OL, and DB.  Remember how much we have invested into Stew and Dwill (thank you Hurney)?  We pick up Gurley and put him with Barner which could end up being just as good as the other 2 with Cam.  Stew and Dwill will be gone, freeing up a Nice chunk of change to get solid OL, DB, WR.  May not get a superstar (can't have them at every position) at those position but can definitely get Solid starters at all those spots with that money.  Especially after we get done with this draft which I think Gettleman can knock 1-2 of those in the first 2 rounds of this years draft.  
 

 

Wrap up a top front 7 for the next couple years, grab 1-2 top calibre DB's in the first round or 2 this year.  Solidifies potentially the best D in the league.

 

Wrap up Cam, have our franchise QB for the next several years.  Draft Gurley even if we have to trade a 3rd or even more that season (doubt it'll take more unless projected top 5).  Even if he does continue to improve, pull a Falcons Julio situation.   Have a Stud young RB duo one being potential superstar.  If still have 2nd still continue to strengthen that secondary or grab a OL.  Bye Bye stewie/dwill.  Hello Solid WR or 2 and or solid OL.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
