This was a great signing IMO. Some people just want to crap on anything and everything.

And this current TE group (even if we don't add to it), is certainly better than last years and better than a lot of the TE groups in franchise history.

People are acting like we've traditionally had good TE groups. We've literally only had 2 Pro Bowl caliber TEs in team history in Walls & Olsen.

Hurst could easily end up being the 3rd best. I'll take it 100%. Not sure why other fans wouldn't.

Yeah Thomas/Tremble/Ricci are on notice. They had it way too easy under Rhule. They gotta compete for their spots now because at least one of them is gone

I can see Tremble being used in a hybrid HB/TE role while Thomas and Hurst are used in 2TE sets. Ricci and Sullivan may be odd men out and fighting for a final spot.

I could also see Thomas getting moved out the building and Tremble being the #2 and Ricci being the backup/ST guy.

It’s certainly possible but unlikely due to the cap hit. He’s also our best blocking TE which isn’t saying much. If we were able to get a better blocking TE in the draft e.g. that monster TE out of GA, then I’d certainly be comfortable bidding farewell to Thomas.

Something people shouldn't look past: Hurst in the playoffs this year. 

It may seem like an average TE line season stat wise, but he made some huge 3rd down conversions and other big plays in the playoffs against Buffalo and KC.  

The more I stew on this signing, the more I'm a fan.  He's a great locker room guy on top of it, just overall mucho bueno addition.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
