Gurley........279 / 1,305 yds..........4.7..............64 / 788............12.3................19
Gurley got more yds with less touches in rushing and receiving and 8 more TD's last season.
Gurley is also is 2 years younger at 24 with less mileage on his legs. Plus comes with much less baggage.
I'd say that Bell's overall body of work is more impressive. Look at Gurley's 2016 season:
206 carries - 885 yards - 3.2 YPC - 6 TD's / 327 receiving yards - 7.7 per catch - 0 TD's
Of course, I drafted Gurley in fantasy that year, and I may or may not still be a little miffed about that.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
