re: Looks like the Falcons coulda had Gurley and a better DE than Beasley

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.

Again I do not believe Gurley is injury prone. Also when we speak of sprained ankles, it is hard to take that seriously as a real sports injury, like an ACL. If we call someone injury prone for ankle sprains, then who in the sports world hasn't sprained their ankle before? Now when you throw in the suspension that could cause doubts just b/c of them not getting more game film. However, T Gurley was the best RB in college, his freshman season. It is very easy to see Gurley's skill set on the field and I don't see how it couldn't translate to the NFL.

Plus look on any STL Rams message boards and see how their fans love the Gurley pick. WIth how he played this year, none of them guys are disappointed with him at that pick. Most of them credit a few wins just b/c of Gurley, since they have no qb.
