i'm sure someone here has 15 years to decide that

When it comes to drafting, to many fans have tunnel vision, looking only at the teams results, without comparing it to the rest of the league.  Truth is that more often than not, drafted players don't pan out. I did see some sites that compare our draft history over the last 5 years to other teams and fwiw, we usually come off fairly well.  Here is one comparison for a 5 year period (2012-2016).   We made the ten best.

That’s a mighty small sample size to try to draw any real conclusions.

But yeah, there’s a reason why Hurney got fired in the first place.

And it has nothing to do with his drafting players. Which is actually a pretty good track record.

His last three drafts were absolutely horrific and definitely contributed to the overall depleted roster and terrible cap situation that ultimately got him fired.

    • I guess i have to add I am curious as well as to what Tepper has done that shows he has backed off.  Thats not a hard ask.  I guess I am in a holding pattern of what to believe until the wheels come off again.  Not saying thats going to happen but there is more data out there to suggest it will vs a turn around.
    • Never a fan of him for us but this is compete BS. Teddy seems like a good dude. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45740176/teddy-bridgewater-suspended-miami-northwestern-coaching-job
    • Running or being able to run the ball allows you to control the game. You control the pace, score, and time of possession. It does also allow your defense to rest and when they do get on the field, go 100%. That in turn forces the opponents offense not have 3 and outs. That's huge pressure, if the other team is just running the ball while having 14 plays drives.  If you are able to get 3.5 yards a carry and mix in smoke routes that gain similar while allowing the clock to run......you control the game.  Deal is nearly all rules changes in the 25 years have helped the passing part. Young folks and gambling folk want to see 37-45 scores. Those 10-16 score teams are poison and toxic, I don't care personally just win. I can enjoy a 6-3 slug-out just the same as 50-42.  There just too many factors to go over. Running used to be important for playoff ball, cause it was before half the league got domes. Running the ball in snow, cold, wet conditions was the path. Like NE played in that awful division each for 20 years during the Dynasty run, they normally had the #1 seed and home field. Thats why bill always had a #1 defense and enough offense to win. It was a huge advantage.    I have thought you need to pass in order to score, THEN you must be able to run the ball with 7minutes remaining to keep the other teams offense off the field. But if you're setup to pass and get no experience during the game to try rushing plays, who knows what you can do. So I feel you truly need a balanced attack, that's the key and main goal. Run for first downs went you need too and pass for TDs when you need too.
