32 TDs for a RB is just not happening in today's league. Gurley is 15 TDs behind that with 5 games to go, he'll probably only get like 20-22 TDs.

Hmm, I had to double check. It seems he was on pace to tie the TD record after he scored 14 TDs in 7 games a few weeks ago. He's slowed down since then.
Still justifiable MVP hype at the time.
