[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 457400"] I never got the Gurleymania. Last preseason the guy looked slow off the line and slow out of breaks for a WR. The way Flowers stepped in front of his break for the pick in the KC preseason game was telling. My best argument for Gurley last season was that he could work out to be an undersized pass-catching tight end, running Finley-type routes out of the slot. He might have agreed coming into camp at 235. The added weight may have come with a price, losing quickness he didn't have in spades to start with. I couldn't say for sure...I've not seen him this year. It's still early. The point of camp and preseason is to evaluate talent and get to the final roster and practice squad. Guys you see on the field may be there to make the case they should be worth keeping through the first cut. Even if Gurley makes the squad, he won't see the ball. There are 5 1/2 WRs in front of him...Finley gets the 1/2 since he plays slot or split wide on 50% of his snaps [/QUOTE]
