That's just dumb. If you can't see that DG has an eye for talent in later rounds that Hurney never had you are either not paying attention or are just retarded.

If you knew how to read you'd see I was responding to topdawg talking about finding 1st round gems NOTHING ELSE, would you not agree Marty was good at that as well?

But since you want to bring up DG's "eye for talent" in the later rounds ill play...

2013

4- Kugz (garbage)

5- Klein (serviceable, however Glanton did a better job once he came in due to AJ's injury)

6- Barner (garbage)

2014

4- Boston (going to tred lightly here since he's from UNC but I thought DG reached, Boston played well before getting abused in Seattle. Way too early to judge this pick though)

5- Bene (very solid)

6- Gaffney (injured, waived, lost)

So leaving Boston out of this, he's gone 1/5 - 1.5/5 with Klein being serviceable.

You would've been better off saying Gettleman has done a better job finding UDFA's or players off the streets/waivers. (Brown, Norwell, Glanton, Remmers, Fozzy) I know I'm missing a few others too

Bringing in solid UDFAs = having an "eye for talent"

Duh.

He said later rounds, because he thought I compared Marty's drafting ability to DG's when I was really only talking about the 1st round

any RB taken high in the draft has to be durable. there are definitely durability issues but before he got hurt, there was talk of him going #1 overall.

he's big and physical but so are DLs and LBs. Marshawn Lynch is one of the few rbs in the past 10 years that has made it mostly unscathed...it's just a question of how much stock you feel like investing...I want my 1st rounders to be core players that stick as sure-fire starters without durability questions.

So you aren't counting Boston for whatever reason, and serviceable doesn't count on late round picks but injuries DO count against Gettleman. Mmmkay. Got it.

But yeah, I agree with your sentiment about Hurney, he could hit those first round slow pitches out of the park.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By CRA · Posted

      why rig the scenario with the "as a passer" tag.   I mean, I assume you do that because Bryce needs help in the argument.  If we are just talking players and no contacts?   I mean, give me Young over Russell Wilson.   That's it.   I'd put him on par w/ Penix, Fields, and Rattler,  so that's a wash.  Give me everyone else over Bryce.  And I'm not handicapping the other players as passing only because when you start doing that it's really meaningless.

      McCarthy to date, for sure. That's a very early sample size, however. Russell Wilson is a backup. Not sure Wilson wouldn't be better suited to our offense specifically, but at the bare minimum it's basically a wash. Hurts I would generally disagree with. I do think Hurts is likely to be less than stellar in our offense. Justin Fields - Agree. Fields is a significant threat on the ground but he sees the field as badly or worse than Bryce. And that's with significantly more reps. Spencer Rattler - I honestly thought this would be an easier call that it is. TBH, right now Rattler looks a lot better. Really almost across the board. Kyler - Murray is better. Basically across the board. Not significantly better, mind you. Trevor Lawrence is more debatable than it seems. Low completion percentages, tons of TO's.....he really has been quite bad this year in Jax. He is considerably more talented than Bryce but the results have been marginally better. Tua - Tua is a little more dynamic of a player but he is a TO machine. Tend to agree. Caleb Williams. Not sure on this. Williams is still struggling to be consistent but his upper end is WAY higher than Bryce. He shows it fairlu frequently, as well. Probably would rather be working through Caleb's issues than Bryce. Penix - 100%. This guy stinks. Cam Ward. This is a little tough. Again, far higher ceiling on Ward and he shows flashes but it's been a mess there in Tenn. Probably lean towards Bryce here.

      he doesn't have the arm to make all the throws, the premier QBs make.  That's a fact.   So there are plays that won't exist for him that will for others.    To act like every QB in the NFL can make all the same throws isn't a stance anyone actually takes.....yet folks are doing it for Bryce.
