Quote:The fact of the matter is Gurley was severily out performed by his backup this year, a guy by the name of Benny Cunningham. It becomes pretty evident why he outperformed Gurley when you watch them play. Cunningham (while not as gifted athletically as Gurley) has the ability to make guys miss at the LOS, an attribute crucial to success at this level as giant running lanes are rare, this compensates for average line play and is what made Adrian Peterson so great. It's not just about having "speed and power", RB's have to be "creators" at this level, Gurley isn't a consistent creator. The advanced metrics also back up my argument as Gurley was one of the worst backs in the league at making guys miss.
 

Cunningham had one game with more than 3 carries this season. I'd hardly call his grand total of 21 carries throughout the entire season a large enough sample size to make any sort of judgement on Cunningham or indictment on Gurley using them.
