When it comes to Gurley vs. Gordon you guys use Gurley's potential to make the case that he's the better back.
No, not really potential, just better. Gurley, when healthy, was widely and almost unanimously considered the best back in football. He was considered the best rb to enter the draft since McFadden or Adrian Peterson. That's not based on potential, that's based on 3 seasons of tape.

I agree that he was the most talented back, by a slight margin. However, that wasn't based on production because Gordon outstripped him by a wide margin. So what would you say it was based on?

There are other factors NFL teams have to consider when drafting RBs also. Ability to pass protect is a must for most NFL teams. Depending on the offense, route running and catching is also a priority.
