As everyone can see I never post on here, but read over the threads several times a day. I just don't understand how Hurney says he wants to build through the draft when all he does is trade/waste draft picks. Good teams who build through the draft stack up draft picks. Hurney has now wasted this years 5th & 6th on Tyler & Leonard. Gave up next years 2nd for Edwards who doesn't even get a uniform. Not to mention the first he gave up for E. Brown. I don't get his plan at all. He says one thing and does another and it looks like he will be here for as long as he wishes.

The problem with building through the draft is that you can't be positive your late round picks will work out. As it stands right now, David Gettis, Brandon LaFell and Armanti Edwards are our future at WR. I only trust one of those guys. Brown and Johnson are our bookend DEs unless they get the balls to use Hardy. Of those three, I trust only Hardy.

Hurney has made some great picks here, and some horrible picks. Trying to build through the draft is too much of a gamble in the NFL. You need to have a team that can compete from day one, and then sprinkle in your draft picks and watch them grow and learn from the vets. This isn't college basketball. You can't watch kids grow up to be beasts in a four year span. Right now, we have a small core of great players and a bunch of unproven youngsters. And according to Hurney, that's our plan. Unproven youngsters from here on out. I guess they just expect us all to sit around and be patient. I have season tickets so I will do just that, but other fans may not.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
