Better be soon or it'll be too late, , , if it isnt already.

I'm beginning to think Gurley is only here because of the size and terms of his contract.
Looks like hes done despite a few flashes of his former self.

Hags, Niners and even the RedBirdz have improved. Rams declined with the loss off Saffold and Gurley. Amongst others.....
That's how you go from top to bottom :(

i just don't get the gurley usage / lack of usage thing, nor does gurley it seems based on some of his "i don't call the plays" comments...

Perhaps Gurley tapped Veronika and coach is PO'd.


Nah.

5-3 isn't exactly the bottom and if this has indeed been a plan, they have put themselves in striking distance of the playoffs. Owners of Gurley in FFL(like myself) aren't too pleased but the plan has been good enough to be within a FG of being 6-2 right now and could easily been justified as preserving Gurley for the stretch run.

It's hard to imagine that this has been exactly what they intended but if they're basically holding Gurley back until the home stretch and it pays off, it will be a real feather in McVay's cap.

As frustrating as it's been, I'd much rather see a pedestrian first half of the season by Gurley and a strong finish than the fast start and then disappearing the 2nd half like last year. The possibility of the former is still on the table at this point so I guess I'm choosing to give McVay and his plan the benefit of doubt just a little bit longer.

It's definitely weird, though his snap count is still pretty high isn't it?

Veronika? Reminds me of a story Goff told (on Barstool i think):

He said he and some other players were in an elevator with her and one of the players was hitting her up and they were trying to give him the cool it signal.

The interviewer asked, "is that player still with the team?"

"No."
