A conversation between the BIG CAT and Hurney


MHS831

Recommended Posts

JR: Marty, here are the qualities I am looking for in our next coach.

Marty: Wow. I dunno, Mr. Richardson. Coaches like these don't grow on trees.

JR: I know. They grow in the NFC South. Find him.

Marty: Got it, boss!

JR: It is looking more and more like we could wind up with the first overall pick. You remember, the pick you nearly traded to climb up into the draft last year to take Clausen. Fortunately, nobody returned your calls.

Marty: No problem, Big Cat, I changed my cell phone carrier.

JR: I think you missed my point. Anyway, who at the top of the draft fills our needs?

Marty: I was watching the College Football Championship Series, you know, formerly NCAA I-AA, and there is this kid from Villanova...

JR: I was referring to the first rounder--possibly the first pick in the entire 2011 NFL draft.

Marty: I know! I feel pretty sure he will be there when we pick. No need to trade up when you pick first, that is what I always say.

JR: Have you researched Andrew Luck?

Hurney: Another QB? Well, I have heard of him, but he plays on the West Coast and their games are on late. Besides, we have 2 QBs from last year's draft. This kid from Villanova, on the other hand...

JR: Forget Villanova! I didn't even know they played football until 15 minutes ago. Forget the first pick. Who are you lining up for me to interview as our next coach?

Hurney: Considering my new contract is set for a cost of living increase, I am looking to save the Big Cat some coin in this department. Hear me out. Tom Knotts. There was a time when his salary might have been too high, but we can get the winningest coach in NC history for about $50K per year.

JR: That is high school! We need a pro coach!!

Hurney: I did some research, and most of our players actually played in high school. I figured...

JR: Forget what you figured! There is no way a glorified 16-year old baby sitter/probation office with a whistle is going to run this team! What about Schottenheimer, Cowher, Harbaugh, Fisher?

Hurney: I don't think any of them has high school experience, but I will check.

JR: I tell you what: Forget the research on QBs, coaches, and cheerleaders. Get me some names of potential GMs!!

Hurney: Seriously, JR? My job? Well, I...I...hear Matt Millen is available.

JR: That would be an upgrade.

THIS CONVERSATION ACTUALLY HAPPENED, I THINK PROBABLY. :eek:

Reminding everyone to have a great Holiday and not step back and laugh at your problems from time to time.

    • https://nfltraderumors.co/2026-nfl-draft-grades-for-all-32-teams/      Grade: B+ Best Pick: Sam Hecht Biggest Reach (consensus rank): Jackson Kuwatch (NR) It's easy to love what Carolina did. The Panthers traded four times but ended the draft with the same number of selections that they started with and in approximately the same ranges. They did not take a player ahead of the consensus until Kuwatch at No. 227, and it's easy to see how he fell through the cracks playing at Miami of Ohio. He's a high-end athlete, though, and has a chance to develop, which is a fine profile for a seventh-rounder. Freeling and Brazzell also checked the high-end athleticism upside boxes for the Panthers. Carolina let the board come to them in the first round and could have a long-term solution at left tackle, which is a hard position to fill. Brazzell slid because of some maturity concerns as well as the difficulty in projecting receivers from Tennessee's Mickey Mouse offense. At 6-4, 200 pounds and 4.37 in the 40, though, the upside is undeniable. On top of that, the landed three starters on Day 3. Normally that's a high and unrealistic bar, but Hecht and Wheatley were both firmly inside the top 100 on the consensus board and have paths to win starting competitions. Lee fits the scheme well and has some interesting traits as an outside corner. What stopped me from a full-out A grade is not loving the Hunter pick, though he does fill a need to replace DT A'Shawn Robinson. There were prospects at other needs positions I would have been more jazzed about. The Brazzell pick is also an interesting risk for a team that's still in building mode, even coming off an NFC South title. Still, I'm nitpicking
    • I was just a teenager when I joined in 2013. I've loved the many opinions on this forum, even though several are infuriating. I've had several bad takes, myself,  that I've hopefully grown out of over the years.
