What did you expect from our GM?

First pick was a no brainer. Anything after that was going to be a head scratcher with Hurney. Jackson has speed.....said they wanted speed. The third pick is reminiscent of a guy with the initials of C.G that played safety once (and not very well). Who knows what Hurney will pull out his ass with the trade back. He needed to hit a homerun with this draft to feel secure with new ownership coming in.

So far one definite starter. D.J maybe a player or maybe not in the pros....third pick just a jag. Hoping for a smarter play by Hurney in this draft so far.  Haven't seen it.

Today was one of the more important days in the history of the draft for this team. We desperately needed to come away with a starter and then some.

It doesn't really look like we made any attempt at doing that. That 3rd round was vintage 2000 Panthers.

Hurney is trying to remake our entire secondary outside of Bradberry. 

Which is the right thing to do after last year. I don't know if this will work (and neither do you) but there was no reason not to blow it up and start over after last year. 

Arguing the nuances of guys who have never played a down in the NFL is fun but of no practical value.

These guys are all talented. I have faith in Rivera as a defensive coach. I think the reason he came out uncharacteristically against Worley was that Worley had some talent but refused coaching.

Norman humbled himself and worked his ass off to accept coaching and become a Pro bowler. 

Also, Gettleman drafted 3 CBs  a couple of years ago in moves that reeked of desperation after the ego-driven Norman fiasco, and now only 1 is on the team.

If that was Hurney, the Huddle would be losing their mind. 

Gettleman did a phenomenal job with the salary cap and FA from 2013- 2015, but it is indisputable that the core of the team came from Hurney drafted guys.

I'm going to be optimistic for now. Maybe we are no better, but we simply can't be worse in the secondary than we were last year

I actually really like the possibilities with Gaulden at S. I could honestly see us using him a lot like the Cards used Mathieu. He can cover the slot, and he can tackle and blitz. 

The most reason people are mad because they haven't heard the name.

    • Through 2 games cltfc has 12 shot attempts. Opponents 23 shots on target. Attack sucks, Defense definitely sucks. Kahlina is the only reason they haven't given up 14 goals in two games. 
    • I met a few times--never liked him. I figured he might have had a bad day--but then realized that he must have a lot of bad days. Once he raised his voice at my son because my son did not understand a question when SS was signing his jersey.  I wanted the jersey to represent his encounter with a Panther great, not some small man with a bad attitude.  I told me son, "Forget it.  He was asking you what your name is (My son was about 7 and told me that he thought Smitty was going to write (my son's) name on the jersey.  He said "Dad, I thought he was supposed to write HIS name on the jersey, not mine."  I said, "He was personalizing it, writing it to you--like a birthday card."  He is now grown, and he has a steve smith Jersey that is framed and matted.  He keeps it is his closet.  I asked him, "Why not have that out on your wall?"  He said, "All I remember is an A-hole scribbled on my shirt.  I don't remember a legend or hero.  But he had a Jake Delhomme Jersey on his wall.  "Jake was great.  I will always remember that."  (Jake stayed and talked to us for about 5 minutes or more--GREAT guy.)
    • Is it possible for someone to regress in maturity as they age or has Steve really just been a jerk his entire life?
