Marty Hurney would have drafted Herbert

[Jeremy Igo]

Phil Snow said yesterday in his presser that they spent a lot of time scouting Herbert and that he was definitely in play if the picks fell a certain way.

 

Thoughts?

ask me sunday night

Would  have been a great pick. I didn’t want Herbert but after last Sunday, I think he is going to be legit

If nothing else, it provides further evidence that Hurney doesn’t make rogue decisions without heavy input from his coaching staff.

He should have. Herbert was the best QB in the draft. 
 

But there was also a better cheaper option...

i would caution to hold judgement on herbert after this sunday

i could put up 250 with a TD against this defense

At the time I thought we were going to take Herbert and I wanted Hurney to pull the trigger. I also had a feeling that our Panther luck would result in a run on QBs before we picked. When the QBs flew of the board I wanted to trade down, and I didn't want to draft Brown. If you dig up the draft thread you'll see me clamoring for Herbert to fall, and when I wasn't big on Brown it really pissed the other fans off.

Ultimately I just want a great QB, and it's damn near impossible to tell which QBs will achieve greatness, and which will flop. Still we need to shoot our shot and see what happens. We were robbed of that opportunity in the last draft because we won a few totally meaningless games that everyone has already forgotten about. We need to lose out this season, 0-16, and either draft Lawrence, or trade down for a kings ransom. Any win this season harms our future, and I could care about the feelings of what few fans remain and their wanting to win some games. No. I rooting for this team to loose from here on out.

no it doesn't.  herbert was gone when we picked.  it says nothing at all about that.  coach wanted to trade down.  hurney wanted brown. its the opposite of what you got out of it

I have been sort of checked out this offseason for various reasons. Was there an article or anything that stated Rhule wanted to trade down vs taking Brown?

i haven't been reading articles.  there are multiple informed posters who have been talking about it in a few threads over the last week or so - so i'm assuming its correct.

This just proves the obvious. They want a different QB long term. Teddy is only here for two years max.

Everything about the structure of Teddy's contract said stop gap, despite what some seem to believe. I'd call it a "calculated gamble."

At one point, Herbert was being looked at near the top of the 2nd round, would have been great spot
