Marty Hurney Surely Didn't Leak Claiborne's Wonderlic Did He?


Sam Mills Fan

Recommended Posts

People have speculated that the leaker has to be from a team that's hoping Claiborne falls to them. And now, miraculously, there is lots of speculation today that Claiborne will fall to the Panthers at #9.

Surely Marty Hurney isn't a terrible enough human being to leak the score of someone with a learning disability just in hopes of drafting him, right?

i dont care if he dumb as long as he can play ball and stay out of trouble . Really do hope that score will make him fall to us

I agree with everything in this post AS LONG AS nobody from the Panthers organization leaked it. If he falls to us, it would be a positive out of a terrible thing someone else did.

It's a big story for fans but for people like Hurney who know football, they do not care at all. He isn't a QB that needs to process complex systems. He is a CB that on each play pretty much has one job. Whether he can read or take tests will not affect his ability to play CB. If he was a LB or QB, then maybe someone would actually care.

How has no one realized the logical fallacy of this? It's not like Hurney is the only one with access to his scores. All the GM's can see his scores. The only people that this was "leaked" for is the general public. The people who make the drafting decisions for their teams would have already had this information.

Logic I've read is that it would pressure on GMs to not draft him because of possible fan backlash. Could work on the timid or those without job security.

    • That was always the fear, expectation, concern, etc, I had.  Someone showed a still shot from his pick last game and said it showed that the defender closed 3 yards on that ball in the last portion of its flight. I forget the number. 10 yards I think it said but that sounds extreme.  When guys are open by a step, any slowing down to wait for the ball lets the defender back into the play. That sort of stuff makes the margins so small… these NFL CBs are not slow.   It is a league that highly values foot speed; the 40 times and drill times are scrutinized down to the hundredth of a second when evaluating these players on both sides of the passing game. Receivers and defenders both.   My thing with his arm strength (or anyone’s) was always “why do you want to do that? Plus pay extra picks to put yourself in that situation?”. Asking for trouble.     I wish there was a way to measure velocity on the back half of a throw compared to when it left the hand. Or really get accurate reading of the flight time of a ball from the near hash to the sideline, 10 yards down the field. Because teams could use that info. I have always seen this as being a disadvantage with Bryce but it is beyond my ability to quantify it.   I think it would show what that arm strength is really about, a lot more than just measuring how much air can you put under it so it will fly as far as possible.

    • Its a detriment if he can't play...as we are seeing.
