[OldSchool]

Well what do you think of this group? We could have a great set of DL and OL as well IMO.

Solid.

 

[Giles]

Zero complaint. It's perfect imo.

I realize this may be viewed as Sacrilegious by some but I would swap-out Gurley for Lawrence McCutcheon.

A very valid idea you could also consider Dick Bass.

I’m old but not quite ancient just yet.

I briefly thought that as well but McCutcheon was never the best RB in the NFL like Gurley was for 3 years.

Jackson was a beast. can you imagine him on this team with McVay and co.?

 

[dieterbrock]

I'd swap out Jackson for Bettis

 

[Alaskan Ram]

Solid.

Has to be the greatest top 4 running back by franchise list in the league's history.

Or a functional OL.
Running behind consistent make shift and bad OLs really kept his production less that it should have been.....and it was still great.

The Rams and Rich Brooks, who is on the Mt Rushmore of idiots, traded Bettis way too early in his career....otherwise Id agree.

Even then, I'd leave Jackson and bump down Todd.

I'd take Gurley's prime over all of them, but he's not even really a HoF candidate because of his shortened career.

The dark dark days of the Black Widow. We did end up with Marshall, but, sending JB to the Steelers due to a shit O-line, just rip my heart out.

2 or 3?

Domer homer.

As an NFL Running Back ... Yes

But not as a Rams' Running Back ... in my opinion.

 

[Memento]

S-Jax!!!!! And Dickerson, Faulk, and Gurley!

Maybe if he stays with us long enough, K-Will could bump out Gurley.

 

[dang]

2 or 3?

I’m a Rams homer but I’m declaring him the BEST NFL RB from the AZ game his rookie year until he collapsed at the end of 2018.

Agreed, Bettis was a "Steeler". Sucks, but he is.
I concur with this top 4. I didn't know McCutcheon, but every time I saw Gurley touch the ball, I felt anticipation.
Top RB regrets --
1. Trading Bettis
2. Gurley's health
3. Jackson's wasted years
4. Giving up on Trung Candidate too soon!!
5. Tre Mason too!!!!
