all that "Todd was much more injured than anyone realized" talk no doubt burned a bridge with Todd as well as with the Rams FO that was trying hard to keep a lid on the situation. Though CJ did come help us out of a jam, he came off a little smug in interviews, and gave an air of, " I can take Todd's spot/do as well as him", whereas I never got that impression from Brown. He may feel the same way in his heart of hearts but he had the good sense to never say it aloud. Which is why all things being equal the Rams with the Malcolm route, hell at these prices they could have kept them both but never seemed to even try to make that effort. That speaks volumes.
I disagree with all of that. CJ presented himself as well aware of Todd's place and never presented himself as being in TG's class.
Here's just one example of that:

Interesting: 105 of CJ Anderson’s 167 rushing yards came after contact, more than Todd Gurley has ever gained in a game and the most by a Rams rusher in the last 10 seasons, per per @ESPNStatsInfo.
Cj Anderson@cjandersonb22
My boy TG the goat that happens cuz I’m slow
Anderson was always very humble in discussing his role and TG. He never crossed a line with that stuff.
