When asked which Pokemon he evolved into, Kamara pauses.

"Motherfucking, what's that big dragon shit? That orange motherfucker. Charizard."

Gurley had fewer carries in college than Zeke, or Lev Bell, or Dalvin Cook, or Mark Ingram, or Derrick Henry or a bunch of other guys. He's not breaking down because he ran too much at Georgia, it's because he's just got lovely knees.

Now I do not know whether I was then a head coach dreaming I was a Saints fan, or whether I am now a Saints fan, dreaming I am a head coach.

Seriously he basically wasn't supposed to have a career after what UGA did to him.

It's amazing he's been anything, let alone great.

From the NFL.com draft profile of Gurley:

"He played less than 40 percent of his team's offensive snaps over the last three years, so there is plenty of tread still on the tires."

The biggest knocks on Gurley were that he was injured often which just a thing that happens to running backs. And he still went 10th in the draft.

I dunno where this idea that Georgia ruined him came from.

Keen on the hygiene and on the mission like a super technician.
Regardless of whether or not UGA ruined Gurley, having arthritis in the knees certainly did, and I hate that for him. He was so fun to watch in his prime, and it sucks that he has to deal with that.

Gurley was clearly good enough to be drafted tenth, but he clearly he underlying knee injuries.

I kinda wonder what would have happened if Jeff fisher had never got his claws into him.

The reason for that is he was gruesomely injured in 2 of those seasons.

And lost draft stock and returned to UGA under a consistent public narrative coming out of UGA that he was betraying his teammates if he left for the Draft and that obviously means he wouldn't be a team player and teams shouldn't trust him.

Or maybe I remember all that wrong, but there's limits to my willingness to go reconstruct history from old espn articles.

No, that was what was said. That's always what is said about star players who should go get paid their junior year.

Do y'all also remember Kazam, the genie movie starring Sinbad?

Gurley did not redshirt and left after his junior year, as soon as he was eligible. He lost significant time for two injuries: an ankle sprain that cost him 3 games his sophomore year and an ACL tear that ended his junior season.

But he was going to sit out the rest his Junior year, especially after his suspension. They literally took an insurance policy out on him to get him to keep playing.

I don't think there's anything to suggest that be planned to sit out. He was a heisman frontrunner before the suspension, he appealed to get it reduced so he could play, he hired a personal attorney to handle the appeal, and when Fournette sat out years later Gurley commented that he should play.

Even if it was true, saying that Georgia hosed him because they wanted him to play football when he was perfectly healthy doesn't really track.
