they had three very poor performances in a row. they weren't able to pass the ball at all. they lost Brown in the Lions game and Gurley had been playing weeks on a bad knee and that came to a head against the Bears and Lions.

McVay literally changed his offensive approach once CJ joined the offense

My gut tells me that CJ doesn’t look the part and has been replaced by a younger less expensive RB. He is also super intelligent and has no filter... which can cause some issues in some locker rooms

I’m also wondering if his fresh legs helped him look so good last year
