Lets keep this focused.. the OL had problems, that goes without saying, and it had an effect on the running game, goes without saying. But focusing on Gurley...
Gurley had opportunities last year that he did not exploit.. opportunities that most other great RB's would have taken advantage of and Gurley, (for whatever reason), did not.
Individual ability *can* be discerned and analyzed even within a framework of failure elsewhere. - JamesJM
Yeah we agree on all that. (This btw is not a "who's right" death match, as I know you know, but genuinely 2 guys comparing ideas to maybe figure something out.)
So AT LEAST 2 sets of problems (OL, Gurley) and they compounded one another. (Also probably more problems but 2 things at a time.)
Gurley though, being part of it....presumably, or hopefully, in a way that can be amended this year. IE whatever his part of it was, can (presumably) made better this year.
I just wonder what exactly was wrong with him last year. I am assuming that it;'s not at the talent level (vision, instincts) cause if it IS, then, he won't be that useful this year.
