TN05

Incorrect. Let's look at the positions: 2002 - Julius Peppers (2nd overall) 2003 - Jordan Gross (8th overall) 2004 - Chris Gamble (28th overall) 2005 - Thomas Davis (14th overall) 2006 - DeAngelo Williams (27th overall) 2007 - Jon Beason (25th overall) 2008 - Jonathan Stewart (13th overall), Jeff Otah (19th overall) 2011 - Cam Newton (1st overall) 2012 - Luke Kuechly (9th overall) 2017 - DJ Moore (24th overall) 2018 - Brian Burns (16th overall) 2019 - Derrick Brown (7th overall) First, let's discount 2001 as his fault. Of these picks here, I can say 2 were positions that were entirely his fault (2011 and 2012). That being said, draft position doesn't matter as much as draft acumen. Hurney only had 5 picks in the top ten; he had as many in the bottom 10, and all of those (Gamble, Williams, Beason, and Moore) were slam-dunks. Like look, you can like or dislike Hurney. But there's probably no GM in NFL history who has ever, as consistently as he did, selected first-round picks that, at worst (with the exception of Otah), proved to be league leaders and franchise staples. When one of your weaker picks is Jon Beason - a guy who was undisputedly the best linebacker in the league for three seasons before a very unfortunate injury) - you know you did a good job. Over 12 picks he selected one bust (Otah), three Hall of Famers or borderline Hall of Famers (Peppers, Newton, Kuechly), six Pro Bowlers or All-Pros (Gross, Davis, Williams, Beason, Stewart, Burns), one who will be a Pro Bowler (Moore), and two others that should be/have been Pro Bowlers (Gamble and Brown). He was more likely to pick a Hall of Fame than a bust, and that one bust was entirely due to injury and was great when he played. That is absurdly good.

If you go by Pro Football Reference's AV metric, he had the top Panthers season for a defensive player. Their list: 1) Kevin Greene (1996) 2) Kris Jenkins (2002) 3) Luke Kuechly (2013) 4) Sam Mills (1996) 5) Julius Peppers (2006)

Hurney first-round picks: 2002 - Julius Peppers 2003 - Jordan Gross 2004 - Chris Gamble 2005 - Thomas Davis 2006 - DeAngelo Williams 2007 - Jon Beason 2008 - Jonathan Stewart, Jeff Otah 2011 - Cam Newton 2012 - Luke Kuechly 2017 - DJ Moore 2018 - Brian Burns 2019 - Derrick Brown If there's a hall of fame for first-round drafters, Marty Hurney would be a first-year selection lol.

Because people didn't listen to what Cam said.

The thing that really impresses me about Hubbard is ball security. He doesn't fumble.

We're realistically a middle-of-the-road to borderline top ten defense. The yards and points stats are likely both inflated in opposite directions. Our offense is bad. It turns the ball over, and frequently punts, giving defenses short fields. This means offenses don't need to move the ball much on us to score (hence the low yards), but the fact our defense is on the field so much is likely due to that bad offense. The Saints game a week ago was a good example of this - defense played great, but you can only defend against short fields for so long. However, it's also worth noting most of our truly bad defensive games were before the bye. We've only allowed more than 30 points once since the bye as compared to 3 times before it.

Chubba will likely get to 1,000 scrimmage yards next week. He's only 79 yards away, and is averaging almost 100 per week over the last four games. There's also a non-zero chance Chubba could hit 1,000 rushing yards; he'd need to average about 87 yards over the next three games, and he's ran for exactly that the last two games. Currently, Chubba has 739 rushing yards and 190 receiving yards on the season with 4 touchdowns and only one fumble. Chubba only had 637 scrimmage yards last year, so this is a big jump for him. Adam Thielen is also on pace to (barely) squeak over 1,000 receiving yards for the year, which would be his first 1,000 yard season since 2018.

We trailed in the fourth quarter and won a game for the second time this year Bryce Young actually has two game-winning drives so far this year?

thank god

I say go for the TD, honestly. Don’t risk a bad snap in the rain.

Hey look at that, no shotgun and it’s a first down

Bryce is cooking right now

What a throw and catch right there

Defense has forced 2 turnovers now, Bryce needs to finish the job and help our defense out.

Like the play call there

Big play!

What on earth was that throw

That’s one of the best fumble recoveries I’ve seen by a QB. That’s actual superprocessor stuff right there

Good drive so far

Great job designing a route short of the line to gain

The Jets have a top five defense

Falcons joining the Shotgun Run party

Great playcall there, gotta pad Bryce's completion numbers

Thomas Brown.

Two absolutely awful throws in a row
