What a performance depending on how yall feel about pff or how much help he got but still shaq B. Was on him all game wasnt he??? We all know Little has played at least better then any Lt since Gross...so did Hurney really knock the draft out of the park like this! Wow

Dennis Daley

For a sixth-round draft pick making just his second start, it doesn’t get much better than this. Daley was impressive in pass protection, allowing just one hit from 36 pass-rushing snaps, and he really impressed as a run blocker, producing an 86.0 PFF run-blocking grade in the game.

Think Daley ends up at LG.  

More power.  Also Little is essentially only capable of playing LT.

But those 2 together on the Left side apears like it is going to be something special.  Now if Paradis can live up to his Billing, this OL is going to be Legit

Our greatest weakness going into the draft was left tackle, and pash rush

Hurney manages to draft Brian Burns late in the 1st round, and Christian Miller (who has looked amazing when healthy) late in the draft.

Two stud left tackles in the 2nd and 6th rounds, a position that had been neglected since Jordan Gross retired (who Hurney also drafted).

Hurney picks up Kyle Allen as an undrafted guy.

The most insane thing I'v ever seen in sports fandom was how much people hated Marty Hurney, the guy who drafted 10 out of the 11 pro bowlers on our Super Bowl team.

He's a great general manager, just as he always was, and we should be giving him a massive extension.  People who complain about the occasional mid round bust must think Bill Belichick has never drafted anyone bad in the middle rounds (let alone the 1st round).

Definitely promising, but I’m also curious how he’d fare against more of a power/bull-rusher. So far, Barrett and Ngakoue are both very good pass rushers, but they’re the same kind of smaller speed/finesse rushers. Some tackles excel against one type and struggle against the other, so if we have the rare breed who can just stonewall whoever is across from him, then damn that would be amazing.

From my experience and i could be wrong, speed rushers are always harder to defend! Look at Remmers and about any other decent LT weve had.

You're only as good as your franchise quarterback, and the Panthers were never bad enough after Jake to draft one high in the draft until 2011.

Unfortunately for Hurney, when he got the opportunity to draft a franchise quarterback in the first round, he was fired, and Gettleman got the credit for the Cam Newton led team he had built.

And if you're going to say he did a poor job at evaluating quarterbacks

He drafted Cam Newton and signed Kyle Allen as an UDFA.

 

200+ games isn't exactly a small sample size. I like the moves he's making in his second go round, but I haven't forgotten him torpedoing us with awful contracts and hellacious cap issues that got him fired the first time. I'm going to be a little cautious.

I also truly think hurney sat back and learned during the Gettleman years and truly came back a better GM...if he can somehow move the cap around and keep this team in tact for the forseable future....man he will be one of the better GMs in the league.

      You see, this is why I'm more critical of Dave Canales

      Wow that’s actually really cool chatgpt can do that Although, as we know Arizona sat in soft zone the entire second half. So there was a lot of dinking and dunking, but that’s the right thing to do in that situation.  Week 1 pass chart doesn’t look bad. He pushes the ball downfield more than several other quarterbacks I’ve watched. For some reason the huddle thinks other quarterbacks are constantly throwing 60 yard bombs. That is absolutely not the case. Some quarterbacks aren’t taking any deep shots at all.

      We keep referring to it as Over drafting him like he was really a first round draft pick. We traded up at the end of the first to get him in a deal with Buffalo so that we could grab him and get an extra year on his contract if needed. At the time that sounded like "If he really soars, we can get that fifth year extension automatically". It really probably meant, "We might need five years to really get him up to starting WR speed."  He was basically a second rounder with a potentially meaningless pick as well to pay for those rights. Still, I think that with him we are on the Kelvin Benjamin bubble right now... will he ever be more than just an athlete? Can he really learn to fight and compete for that ball? Can he learn professional routes? Can he handle the fame and more money than he's ever seen in his life? Can he handle all of the pressure a fanbase puts on him? Tough shoes to fill. Not sure I'd want to be in them. I hope he gets it all together soon. A lot, most draftees, can't. Good luck and God bless to the young man. He's got a lot of work to do in a very unforgiving workplace.

      This is the #1 reason I defend Bryce. Everyone around him is learning on the job, including him. But hey in 3 years we could have a talented offense that grew up together.
