For all those "We suck at drafting" people


Recommended Posts

Drafting is more about just All Pros. The issue with our drafting is that it has largely been boom or bust. We’ve had numerous entire draft classes that were entire busts or where we got one great player and the rest was utter trash. Those types of drafts really show up on your overall depth chart. It’s how you end up with our secondary last year and fielding a WR corps of practice squad players in a playoff game.

So you're saying that Hurney was almost always able to nail his 1st rounders?

Isn't that what everybody has been saying all along?

No I'm saying out of the entire league we have done very well drafting first team All Pros. Which is pretty cool. I also find it interesting GB only has 2 which really shows how much Rodgers has done for that team.

You can look at it with a 'but we haven't won a SB with 'em' attitude, but I'd rather just enjoy it as cool too.

About 50% of drafted players actually make it in the league.  Hurney is damn near 100% in the first round, which means that his picks which are potentially great hit with regularity.  His other picks drag his performance down to normal levels, but since his hits are consistent in round one, he actually ends up drafting better than most.  Everyone just thinks he sucks because half his day two picks fail, and he doesn't manage to find all-pros in day three.

Most of those who say our drafts suck are also the ones who always proclaim we suck. They were particularly loud, wrong and stupid last year as they decried an 11-5 season.

Welcome to "Who's Huddle Is It Anyway" where the points are made up and the score doesn't matter!

    • I truly do not understand why we rushed him back last season, we were a bad team with an already productive back in Chuba. Brooks looked like he was 60% back and clearly hadn’t regained full movement in his knee and confidence, no surprise he got reinjured. Shame on this training staff, look no further then Chuba returning too soon this season, I don’t care how bad a player wants to come back a training staff is there to protect them. Brooks is a great person and was an amazing player prior to both injuries, I hope he’s recovering well.
    • Brother thanks for sharing and all. Just for a 21 year army guy you sure over used your brain power on this interaction little too much...  Not that's Im taking a side or nothing, Ive never been a bully fan * in extreme deals bullying in needed..... I've heard from smart people in and around Panthers, Smitty needed Angie for guidance BADLY.  I've honestly thought if Smitty was born 20 years later, he should have taken a MMA path and not only would he have been a champion but a humbled good man with or without Angie helping him. He has never took off the enmoureous chip on his shoulder and it has branched off as a stick in arse over time too. Still everyone can not be or act the same with emotions, we are chemical sacks of water and bones. He reminds me of brain-washed individuals that can not turn off the switch. Plus he is high on thinking he's smarting than he is.......its a dangerous combo, but that's mainly what gave him the edge in life to live out the American dream......soooo I dare say change, but its sad at the same time. All those poor women that get involved with narcissistic disloyal men, one of the few times I agree to take what ever form them in court...
    • Completely agreed.  TBH, we have had so many great players that are in my favorite list, and I hate to narrow it down to one, but Cam is it.  Which is crazy, because you would think it would be more of the guys I grew up watching, but no.  Cam was the single most impactful player to ever out on a football uniform imo.  And like I said in an earlier post, I always felt a kinship with him in a lot of ways…  the way he was treated and judged for the off the field stuff in Florida and having to overcome all of that and fight show at back.  And although I am not a black man, I have always been welcomed by and accepted more by minorities, and thus, I know what it’s like to be judged by appearances rather than the content of your character and who you actually are.  I know what it’s like to be stereotyped and written off or mistreated for your mistakes.  I know what it’s like to be held to a different standard while your peers don’t have to meet that same standard.  So I always related to that.  And the way he came in and just electrified the whole franchise, man…  I still think about it often how much it sucks that because of how talented he was, our staff out so much on him and that ultimately cut his career short.  You’re right, there will never be another Cam…  I think Josh Allen is the closest thing we will see for a long time, but Allen is not the running threat Cam was.  Cam could run you over or around you.  That was THE absolute funnest time to watch our team ever.
