I believe that, after the NFC Championship game, McVay believed that Goff had transitioned to being a QB that could carry the offense. And why not, right?

Quotezn QuoteramBRO And please spare me the "Gurley wasn't 100%" line. At that point in the season, I'm betting that several players were out there battling "irritation" in several areas of their respective bodies. Except if he still had issues with an arthritic knee, then, that's not the same as the other players with various physical issues. For a back, such issuesby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
Did Goff play poorly? Yes. Did the middle of the O-line get pushed around? Yep. But I suspect that these issues would've occurred in other games too had McVay decided not to ride the horse that brought him to the Super Bowl. McVay's inability to involve Todd Gurley into the game essentially left the Ram offense playing with one hand behind its back against a Bellichick defense. And pleasby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com

I'd really be interested in hearing Fisher's/Snead's thoughts about Woods heading into the 2013 NFL Draft. In reviewing the 2012 roster, it's clear that the team needed help in a lot of places. But they had a good defense; a decent O-line; a solid (though aging) RB in SJax; a solid LT (Saffold); and, a franchise QB in Sam Bradford. The only thing we didn't have was a legitimate WR (i.e. someoneby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com

OK, let's see if we can have a little fun, shall we? I got this idea yesterday morning after listening to the hosts on NFL Radio.

Although I believe that RB's can (and do) get "worn down and nicked up," I find it difficult to believe that it would occur to a RB of Gurley's age IN THE FRICKEN' SUPERBOWL. Both Gurley and McVay know better than anyone else that they're not guaranteed another opportunity to play/coach on this stage. As such, I just don't see knee irritation stopping the player or coach from playing neby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
We're two weeks removed from the Super Bowl and there's still no consensus as to what the situation is/was with Todd Gurley. I mean, if Gurley suited up at...say, 65% - then McVay essentially coached that game with one hand tied behind his back without his best offensive weapon. If that's the case, then I'll reserve judgement on him being outclassed as a coach. But if Gurley entered the game aby ramBRO - RamsFootballFans.com
Quoteoldschoolramfan Gurley has to be hurt. McVay watches all this game film? He watches #30 SHRED DEFENSES all season long. Then, tell me you are going to LIMIT his touches in the Super Bowl.

And I simply don't understand it. No, I don't believe that Gurley was 100% entering Sunday's game. But I DO believe that he was definitely well enough to play (and play well in the Super Bowl).
