Todd Gurley: If I scored 10 touchdowns or zero, it wasn't going to satisfy me

Gurley added that he had an opportunity to sign with the Ravens in 2021 but at that point, he felt at peace with his career.

“But I grew up a Ravens fan — die hard. Ed Reed, favorite player,” Gurley said. “When I had to think about it, I was like, ‘Oh yeah, it’s over.’ It really ain’t up for discussion. And I’m like, bro I’m in L.A. I’m not about to go to … Detroit, Baltimore — hell no. I’m chillin’. I’m vibin’. Just having a good perspective for real.”

I had forgotten he visited the Lions in 2021.

We didn’t need you anyways Todd

No reason to boo him. Lions didn’t need him and if they won another game or two, they probably don’t get Hutch.

Me too…. But thinking back on it I recall thinking WTF is Brad Holmes thinking? Spending money on Gurley with this group of WR’s?

Clearly they didn’t need him for the 2021 season:

30 Jamaal Williams 26 RB 13 11 153 601 3 42 54.2 20 3.9 46.2 11.8 28 26 157 6.0 0 6 60.7 15 2.0 12.1 92.9% 5.6 179 4.2 758 3 1
32 D’Andre Swift 22 RB 13 4 151 617 5 28 36.4 57 4.1 47.5 11.6 78 62 452 7.3 2 18 48.7 63 4.8 34.8 79.5% 5.8 213 5.0 1069 7 2
46 Craig Reynolds 25 RB 5 2 55 230 0 11 43.6 35 4.2 46.0 11.0 8 7 52 7.4 0 3 62.5 14 1.4 10.4 87.5% 6.5 62 4.5 282 0
35 Godwin Igwebuike 27 RB 17 1 18 118 1 7 61.1 42 6.6 6.9 1.1 10 7 60 8.6 0 4 40.0 18 0.4 3.5 70.0% 6.0 25 7.1 178 1

Meanwhile this is what our WR’s looked like. Yikes!

Pure genius to pull Reynolds, Sun God, Leaf out of that room.

Not satisfied with 0 touchdowns? Thanks for pointing that out,

I’m not sure I’m following you.

Remember Leaf started 14 games but played in 16. He was our primary target most of the season. When a guy starts 16 games and all he can produce is 500 yards he’s not a starter. This is why I’m unsure about Leaf at WR3. He’s more of a role player.

Reynolds we picked up with 5 games left in the season and he started just two.

ARSB played in every game but started in just 9 games. Even with him this was the worst ranked WR group that year.
