Why not Todd Gurley?

[Dj Shoj]

This guy was a monster pro bowl running back. Still at 27 years of age there's gotta be a lot of value left in Gurley. So the question is why no one in the league is giving this guy a chance?

There’s a reason why he ain’t playing at all. Now what I’m interested is what happened to Dexter Williams. Why he never get a show at RB

 

[Dj Shoj]

What is the reason tho? Is it money, character, injury? It just doesn't make sense to me .

 

[circumstances]

Can't play anymore.

 

[Dj Shoj]

Why?

 

[circumstances]

Why?

Injuries have robbed him of his ability to play.

 

[Dj Shoj]

Injuries have robbed him of his ability to play.

Hard to believe he is done. Crazy that the lifespan of a running back is no more than 5 years. He would have been a great fit.

He's toast. He was never been the same player once he had that knee injury with the Rams.

So there you have it, given those reasons, Miami will be looking at signing him as a $10m bench warmer, if he makes it that far

 

[Goonies]

gurley is done due to injuries

 

[Gsmack_42]

It’s called bone on bone, once that happens running back becomes walking back or better yet limping back.

 

[John813]

His knee is shot. It acted up on their sb run a few years ago. Never was the same since

 

[EasyRider]

Why?

Because RBs have a short shelf life. He already has nothing left

 

[royalshank]

He barely played in the SB due to injury. Different game had he been healthy. He hasn’t been able to play since then - not effectively anyway. Sad cause he was terrific.

The age of a running back is deceiving my friend. Many fall off a cliff well before 30. He’d probably give a short yardage boost but overall we already have backs that can get three yards a carry.
