I know... I know...NOT ANOTHER GURLEY THREAD!Bear with me, though... there's a method to my madness.There have been countless posts by many people here about Todd Gurley's condition and prospects for this upcoming season. I think its fair to say its been talked to death. All I'm asking for here is a single post with your best prediction/guess/gut feeling (call it what you will) regarding how Gurley will fare this year. I'm not doing a poll, as I do not wish to limit people to a finite number of responses.I ask only one thing... don't be this guy: by AvengerRam 6 years 1 week ago Total posts: 8920 Joined: Oct 03 2017 Lake Mary, Florida Hall of Fame In one post, go on record as to how you think Gurley will do in 2019 POST #2 TOPIC AUTHOR Last edited by AvengerRam on Jun 27 2019, edited 1 time in total. MBRamFan liked this post Here is mine:I believe Todd Gurley, notwithstanding the fact that he undoubtedly has suffered (and could again suffer) symptoms related to his ACL repair (inflammation, arthritis, whatever word you want to use for it), is still "in his prime," as opposed to being "on the downside" of his career. Thus, while I do think the Rams will try to reduce his workload, I believe he'll be extremely productive. I'm expecting him to have 1,100+ yards rushing, 1,600+ yards from scrimmage, a ypc of 4.7 or better, and 16+ TDs. 1 by Elvis 6 years 1 week ago Total posts: 41516 Joined: Mar 28 2015 Los Angeles Administrator Re: In one post, go on record as to how you think Gurley will do in 2019 POST #3 The only sensible answer is "i don't know," but since that's not the point of this thread i'm gonna take the Rams at their word when they say they're going to manage his workload and we'll see Gurley get somewhere between 1/2 and 2/3 of his normal snaps in 2019...

The thing to avoid is the kind of pain/swelling flare-up he had in December, but even if that happens, you can come back from that after some rest. So that's my vote. Having an arthritic knee does NOT mean he's done. Conversely, the fact that he's not done (and will likely do well) does NOT mean he does not have an arthritic knee. by Rams1PlateSince1976 6 years 1 week ago Total posts: 2195 Joined: Oct 12 2016 LA Coliseum Pro Bowl In one post, go on record as to how you think Gurley will do in 2019 POST #8 aeneas1 liked this post Thread Winner Here: Super Bowl ring for Gurley in the 2019 campaign. 1 by aeneas1 6 years 1 week ago Total posts: 16894 Joined: Sep 13 2015 Norcal Hall of Fame In one post, go on record as to how you think Gurley will do in 2019 POST #9 interesting... despite the dire reports that have flooded in since january, despite the "arthritis" claims, and despite the claims that he was injured throughout the postseason and had so much pain/inflammation in his knee that he was forced to miss two games, no one in this thread (so far) is predicting that at some point in 2019 he'll be lost for the season, or any portion of the season?snackdaddy wrote:I think we will see a reduced overall workload but nothing drastic.

Some games he'll be used sparingly depending on what McVay sees. Others he'll be the work horse. The opponent that week will have a lot to do with how much they game plan with him. 220 carries1100 yards12 rushing TD's55 receptions500 yards5 receiving TD's. Gurley did mention that running routes and catching passes is easier on the body than running the ball. Its possible we won't see a much of a reduction in targets. by /zn/ 6 years 1 week ago Total posts: 6943 Joined: Jun 28 2015 Maine Hall of Fame In one post, go on record as to how you think Gurley will do in 2019 POST #7 I say he does well. You can run with an arthritic knee (at least for a few years). To repeat this again ad nauseum: we saw Faulk do it. The thing is managing it and taking account of it, and doing things like training to minimize it.
