Hurst Impressing


MedellinHeel

Recommended Posts

Two questions.  Since no one drafted Hurst, why is it DG's fault he did the same.  I wonder what they all knew which made him drop?

 

Second, who said we didn't try and sign him to a UDFA contract after the draft.  We have our eyes on a bunch of guys and try to sign a bunch of them.  But they can go wherever they want to go.  So obviously Chicago got him but it is far from unclear if the Panthers or any other teams may have made him an offer as well.  The only thing that is clear is that 32 teams had at least 7 chances to draft him and passed.

 

He went to Baltimore....just sayin'  ;)

On another note ECU has had more than just late rounders and UDFAs in the past 5 or 6 years.  Besides Chris Johnson going in the first round in 2008, Linval Joseph went in the second round in 2009.  They don't get the press that UNC and other ACC schools get but they produce some NFL quality players.

 

With so many talented players at UNC who get drafted high, riddle me why they seem to suck every year.  You would think they would win the ACC at least once or twice in the last 30 years.

Thanks, I just saw that.  This article said he got 17 offers and I suspect one was from us as well.  Apparently teams passed on him because he broke his leg and it was still not 100% on his pro day. You could argue we should have used a 6th or 7th rounder on him but apparently Baltimore didn't draft a left tackle either but got lucky landing him.  Read elsewhere he wanted to play for the Indianapolis Colts but must have not gotten an offer.

Yeah, when Butch was there he had a insane knack for finding talent and recruiting.  Sadly though, he never was a good coach.  Plus, the players were in trouble quite a bit.  If only that 2010 year the defense would've had all their players and been as good as the offense.  That could've been a special team.

When you put that many people who are barely literate together it's hard to be successful?

It's not because of your views. It's because of how you've expressed your views over and over and over again.

 

And I will continue to express my views both positive and negative as I deem fit / when relevant to the discussion. 

 

My next issue is gonna be Shula come reg season so you might better put me on ignore if you don't want to hear them.

You are just so full of deep and original critique.

So...The Spartans go 13-1, humiliate Stanford in the Rose Bowl, and Gman only sees fit to draft Denico Allen? Man, I have concerns that he really does not want Cam to last very long. Cuz otherwise he would have drafted, or brought in, a bunch of Spartans to make this team better.

I be tellin' ya'll this. IF we don't win the SB soon. Gman needs to go.

Oh, and melvinheel. Do/did you go to UNC, live near there, or just pick them? Cuz homerz have way to much invested to be partial. There really is no reason to start a new thread every fugging day to profess your concerns. Most folks find it satisfactory to just, you know, post them in any appropriate thread.

I dont think anyone is pointing to just Hurst. I think many ppl are just simply concerned with the lack of attention / upgrade to our OT group this offseason. Hurst just happens to be a intriguing prospect in our back yard. 

 

DG could come out of all this looking like a genius. Time will tell.

Um...YOU keep bringing up Hurst. If, you know, YOU, would let him go...

 

 

 

Wow, who knew a player that isn't even a panther could have fans on here as bad as ae's?

For UNC homerz, it is important. For the rest of us...not so much.

This is the only time I have ever even brought up Hurst. I never mentioned him prior because I figured we would be drafting an OT early thus I was not concerned with late round OT's. 

 

Please feel free to link me all the times I brought up Hurst prior to this thread, which was more about DG's ignoring the OT position more so than Hurst. 

 

Although, I do think Hurst will have a nice career in the NFL and it was a mistake to pass on him late.

OK, so Mr.heel does not start a new thread every day. Just thought I needed to put that out there.

 

So you are changing it to threads and not bringing up Hurst? Ok lol

 

Btw pretty sure I have only started two threads other than mock drafts. 

 

This one and the Bell thread. 

 

Feel free to link me all these threads I start everyday.

    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ    
    • I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
