marshmellow on fire

2017 will decide whether the Rams pick up his 5th year option (est. $9.1M) for 2019. So a lot of incentive there. Personally I think 80% of his issue was bad run blocking which led to bad habits and impatience as the year progressed. But just my opinion.

I agree though i dunno what 'percentage' any of the issues were:

1) REALLY BAD run blocking
2) REALLY Bad Pass-game to take pressure off the run game
3) His running style -- he is not a tackle-breaker, or a bruiser.
4) No player on offense played very well which put pressure on 'each' player on offense.
5) Something went terribly wrong with the offensive-coaching. Whether it was the scheme or whatever. Maybe Fisher picked the wrong coaches, i dunno.

As bad as the offense was, this team managed to look like a scrappy, hard-nosed, try-hard, group of guys
half-way through the season. At some point after the half-way mark, the Rams just melted down like a marshmellow
in a bondfire.

I hope not to see anything like it again.

  What round pick could we get in return for him in a trade?

PaulButcher59593January 28, 2017 12:42PM

  Trent Richardson brought a late 1st

9er8er547January 29, 2017 07:31AM

  Much too premature.

RockRam409January 30, 2017 12:51PM

  Value may signifcantly decrease next year...

  The key on whether to dump Gurley is the medical knowledge
