Marty Hurney Apparently Lied About Fletcher Cox

You're not very good at following conversation are you? The argument was being made that Cox would be the best bet to improve our pass rush and the counter argument was that, from a pure pass rush standpoint, this assumption would be false. I'm not saying that I agree, but that's what the discussion was about.

I love how you are trying to find ways to discredit everybody but Kuelchy..

Now the thing that Fletcher is giving credit for his pass rushing ability is false.

I already said I don't think we will pick him so move on, that doesn't mean that Cox is a better choice.

But what does that have to do with anything we're talking about a DT pass rushing ability compare to a DE rushing ability. 2 different position 2 different styles and expectation to get to the QB.

What we are talking about is an edge rusher who can get to the quarterback, Cox didn't do that. It doesn't matter what position he played, if he isn't a great pass rusher and by all accounts can't handle double teams and is suspect in the run game, then once again how does he upgrade what we have. We need an impact player who can rush the passer not someone who may be only marginally better than McClain.

I know what the f'n Conversation is about. Just because you and P55 are buddies doesn't mean you have to be ahole to me. P55 is comparing 2 different jobs and 2 different ways to improve pass rush. We can get Coples and add another outside pass rush which will be good but getting Cox at DT could help a pass rush up the middle. Both player could be good for our team.

But we are drafting him for his inside pass rush mostly the outside pass rush is a bonus.

No we aren't. You seem to think that is what we need or that we need that more than an edge rusher. Rivera said we need to rush the quarterback. He didn't say from where or how. I don't care either as long as we get to the quarterback. You have kept up the drone that he was such a great pass rusher and could do it from the 3 technique or 5 technique, etc. I just pointed out that he wasn't a great pass rusher based on the stats.

If we had great edge rushers then an inside push would be a bigger deal. If I had to count on Cox's 5 sacks or Ingram's 10 sacks, I know what I would prefer.What Rivera wants remains to be seen.

I was comparing 2 pass rushers that is all. Part of this conversation is about finding a versatile guy. Cox to me isn't versatile nor is a great pass rusher. Getting Ingram could help us with 2 problems since he can drop in zone and rush the passer. At a 4.79 40, he might be able to play some at linebacker and rush the edge.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Nope Still missing it. Let's try this a different way... You have two quarterbacks from schools that ran the same kind of offense - maybe even two from the same school - on a given team (not necessarily the Panthers). One is designated the starter while the other is named the backup. Why?

      yeah, pretty sure boss.....when things match and fit in the NFL.....the results then show it.  and when they don't, well, the results show that as well.  Bryce doesn't fit.   *but I get why late season and wants to argue with everyone Mr. Scot has also turned into a please don't talk to me about stats guy as well.  Given, the stats that reflect offensive productivity work against all your present arguments.

      Yeeeah...stats and rankings have zero to do with a discussion of scheme and skill set match. Maybe look up definitions of style vs ability and see if that helps. At this point, you've basically had three different people explain to you where you're wrong, but rather than addressing any of those statements, you're just resorting to straight deflection.  You don't get it. Either that or you're acting like you don't get it so that you can avoid the discussion because it's not going well for you. (that wouldn't surprise me either) 😄 Sme result either way, I suppose.
