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.

      Wild Card QB Performance Rankings

      Horn was open on the first play but Bryce was trying to get the ball to Coker. First play the Rams were in cover 1 with a robber that did a great job of taking Coker and TMac away. Pressure got to the QB late as Moton was pushed on top of Bryce and he ended up throwing it away. Horn was open early underneath. Exactly what you're looking for here and he should have thrown to Horn. Maybe could have had Coker or TMac run the dig there instead, because the robber played both their routes perfectly taking them out of the equation. Throw away.  Second play the Rams are in cover 3. Yosh gives up immediate pressure. Coker and TMac were open but Bryce was already escaping the pocket and immediately turned into a scramble drill. No WR got open after that. So had to throw the ball away. Third play the Rams were back into Cover 1 with the robber. Ball is thrown to Horn but he was held by his defender and couldn't get to the ball. Perfect pass. Perfect. DPI or defensive holding should have been called.  Fourth play the Rams are back in Cover 1 no robber this time. TMac and Coker are running deep routes again. Jimmy pops open on the dig again with his man trailing. It's the right read. Good pass. Not perfect, but plenty good enough. Horn  loses focus and drops it.  No one was really schemed open in any of those plays. The second play was the only one that TMac and Coker were open, but the immediate pressure took the QB off his spot where he had to escape the pocket. I really don't know when he could have forced it to Coker or TMac. Maybe the last play. Deep safety was shading TMac. Coker had 1 on 1 running a fly, but the CB stayed on top the entire time. Maybe a deep back shoulder attempt. But Jimmy was open for the first.

      I generally start w/ his sub par offensive production, inability to threaten the entire field like you would hope a franchise QB has the ability of in his backpocket.....and then get into his unicorn size.  how consistently below average and weak our offense has been under his direction (every season) IS the starting point of the Bryce "haters" convo.  I mean, take a Caleb Williams and a Bryce Young.  Forget draft status (despite it being identical)......they are world's apart if you just look at them as NFL only prospects.   They are basically Arnold and Danny from the movie twins.   Bryce basically is a likeable human and Caleb has all the other traits.
