Why? Everything I've read has Gurley as the top guy.
Gordon is more explosive and has greater linear speed and did not tear his ACL. He still has elite vision as well. I dont see how Gurley is even being considered over Gordon when you factor in Gurley's injury.

Gurley is the superior player. I don't care about his ACLs. One ACLs rarely effect player careers anymore
And I love Gordon's game don't get me wrong, but Gurley is a man child out there

Well this isn't 20 years ago. An ACL tear isn't the kiss of death it used to be. Physicians and physical therapists are far more educated on what surgieries are optimal for each patient and how to rehab ACL injuries today.

I know I'm a homer but I just find this hard to believe.

Could have something to do with Wisconsin RBs padding stats in college and sucking in the NFL. Gordon was a very good college player, but he wasn't any better than Montee Ball, Anthony Davis and Ron Dayne. And he certainly wasn't better than Todd Gurley. Gurley has a size/speed/power combination that few human beings on this planet can match. Melvin Gordon is not one of them.
