Chris Kroeger Named Hornets Play-by-Play Guy

It's Hornets news, but it's also the offseason and I know there was a pretty big kerfuffle awhile back about Kroeger being removed from WFNZ.  Well, looks like he landed on his feet!  I like it.  Seems like a guy who has been invested in the local sports teams for awhile.

They moved his show in mid-day in anticipation of the hiring. 

Yes. The op seemed to be suggesting he was fired or gone. Makes sense now. I had assumes it could have been a response to them just personally wanting a shakeup for the sake of change but this must have been it.

The move on WFNZ was in anticipation of this move; not the other way around. Congrats to Chris - he should do a good job over there. 

This isn't true. Not trying to be combative and love the work you guys do, but this is not true. They will spin it that way but it's not true.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
