Hurst is one of those former 1st round busts who has all the measurables and ends up making a lot of money in the NFL despite producing very little based on seemingly nothing more than having the athletic makeup of a guy who should be a lot better than he actually is. I said this when we signed him. We didn't sign him for who he was. We signed him for who we thought he should be. Big mistake.

Hurst evidently said there was no point in returning last season because of the front office after he was cleared to return.

There's a bit of talk about how a team can tank through roster makeup and off-season decisions but this is mostly about Hurst.

Is it possible the organization didn’t want to risk further head trauma for the player ?

I mean, it’s not unheard of to do that in a lost season, meaning no playoff possibility 

that was a very gnarly looking head shot Hayden took…one day his Dad is asking for prayers and he is suddenly OK…I wouldn’t have put him back in there either

Big nothing burger in my opinion.  Tons of reasons to sit on that team last year.  Why risk injury again when we can evaluate someone else with our dismal record? 

Plenty of reasons to complain, but I don't think this is a big deal.

Why continue to play the rookie QB if your big FA TE acquisition is a healthy scratch?!

And good riddance to everyone we lost.

I bet Dan Morgan was pissed at the culture we had become which is why he stayed and is why he chose Canales. We needed someone who can change the culture and identity. We didn't need the best stats guy. We needed the best guy to affect the culture. Canales was the best choice.

You seem like you’re trying to sell yourself on Canales. It was a bad hire. He’ll be gone in two years

To get your #1 overall snaps for practice and to analyze. Hurst had no future here.

Was that a serious question?

i was already sold on him. great hire. 

Well...we certainly know where you both stand. 

Canales is saying the right things, I'll give him that. I'm not prepared to say he's a great hire yet, but I certainly can't fathom why anyone would say he was a bad hire without really having ANY type of evidence to support that assertion (and I'd ask for enlightenment, but I don't feel that it would be well-supported).

He was the man that took the job, so I think we gotta kinda let things play out before we crown him or decapitate him by the guillotine. 

I think that he's kinda tied to Morgan, and today that's a good thing from where I'm sitting. I hope that it continues to be.

Canales was the best guy that would come here**

      Not sure how much he was a long term piece of this team.   Sucks to not have him as part of the rotation.   Looks like it's Lee Hunter time.

      I am not sure he will put the over the games but we’ll probably have them.   Two things I am thinking.  We have 4 preseason games.  All the coaches have enough service time to know the standards that are in place for decades. If I recall it was play your starters just a series to start woth and build it up until week theee where play a lot and you have week four to set hour roster. Evaluate before cuts.   Bevell will certainly have the whole thing down pat.   I’d they don’t do the fries and frie air will worry too. Because it is set up to do that.     I have said since they went t three preseason people have to figure a new way are still feeling it out and trying things.  We don’t have to this year.
