You mention AP like he isn't 30 years old and just had a 1 year ban from the NFL.

Plus you can look at what E Lacy and J Starks did to negate that comment in the playoffs. Or you could us A Blue who got almost 100 yards too.

Plus you are the genius who said no superbowl winning teams draft a rb in the top 10. When was the last time NE got a top 10 draft pick? When was the last time GB, or Seattle got a top 10 draft pick?

Either way, point is Gurley has done way more at the 10th pick in this draft, than Vic B has done this season. Plus Gurley missed a few games and wasn't even a year removed from an ACL injury.

Again, Gurley > Beasley. I would of been happy with Gurley instead of VB, but I would of just rather of wanted someone else than VB at number 8. Honestly if we could of traded back that would of been ideal instead of taken VB.

Also Gurley gets a knock of being injury prone, but I think it is very unjustified. Spraining your ankle like he did vs LSU does not make him injury prone. One ACL injury does not make him injury prone. THe ACL is his first real injury, so being injured 1 time does not make someone injury prone. Sprain ankles shouldn't count for someone being injury prone, especially considering that was the only sprain ankle injury he has ever had.

While true, you have to admit that two injuries in two years makes him suspect. I mean, if it were your money would you give a regular RB millions of dollars after having two injuries in two years with one of those injuries an injury that is very difficult to come back from? I think his suspension also gave an impression that he was a bit unreliable. I mean, we were all frustrated with it, weren't we?

Again...it is always easy to say what should have been done in a draft one or two years after the draft.

Notice how I said they don't draft running backs even anywhere in the first round.

A whopping 63 yards from Lacy, really killing it. Also he was a late second round pick and alfed blue was like a 5th round pick. There's great value in running backs later in the draft.

You're biased because Gurley played for your favorite college team and you wanted to see him in a falcons uniform. You claim that if somebody gave you millions like the GMs get payed you'd be able to do better even though you have no experience and no idea what you're talking about.
