Since I doubt very seriously ANYBODY on this forum knows Gerhart like I do from a fan standpoint, watching him since he was a sophomore in high school..............I will be as objective as possible. Yep..............something is definitely amiss with this guy. He is NOT the RB I knew he "could be" but hasn't for whatever reason. Personally, I think he's gotten fat and I think he's gotten rich and has lost all of his motivation that brought him the accolades "prior" to coming to the NFL. He's definitely bigger and bulkier than he should be. He clearl;y could lose at least 10-15 pounds which would make him faster and more elusive. But, frankly I think he has LOST his desire to be the beast we all hoped he would be. Maybe married life has gotten him complacent. Something's going on with him because the opportunity he clearly had to be "thee guy" here has been squandered. Some of that was beyond his control (injuries) but he can't use that as an excuse any longer. As his biggest fan who has followed him a long, long time it saddens me to see him like this. I think his main problem is between his ears as much as it is his overweight issues. He's slow to the hole, he doesn't even look for openings, he smashes into his own people allot and it's almost as if he has forgotten completely how to be an NFL running back. Unless he changes FAST.........he's gone at season's end.......as he should be. It really bothers me to see him like this.
