2002: DeShaun Foster, Mediocre

2003: Bruce Nelson, Bust

2004: Keary Colbert, Bust

2005: Eric Shelton, Bust

2006: Richard Marshall, Mediocre

2007: Dwayne Jarrett, Bust

Ryan Kalil, Pro Bowler

2008: None

2009: Everette Brown, Bust

2010: Jimmy Clausen, Bust

2011: None

Question for those that assume Kuechly will be great because of Hurney's perfect 1st round track record: Do you also assume that Silatolu will be mediocre at best because of Hurney's 8/9 track record there with getting mediocre-to-bust players in the 2nd round?

The problem is, both of these players aren't considered good or bad because of Hurney's draft record. But because some of you (who are entitled to your opinion) don't agree with who we selected, we should disregard those around the league who have said that both are really good players.

Not to mention that both guys should contribute right away. Its not about being a homer, I don't give two shits about that. If the guys are good players, they are good players...and until I see otherwise, I'm sticking with them.

My only point is to point out the hypocrisy of those that are excited about Kuechly solely because "omg guys hurney never misses in the first round!!!!!!!" and are also excited for Amini for no real reason other than that they get excited for everything. If you use Hurney's track record in the first round to prop up Kuechly, you also have to use his terrible record in the second to be very skeptical of Amini. There's no way around that.

What is the point of going on his track record? I'm going by the player, and their reputation around the league. Thats the whole point of having the guys that have studied these players go on TV and talk about them. And with BOTH guys, there was a consensus that both are really good. I don't see the point in saying that Hurney's success or failure has anything to do with how a guy will turn out.

IF they bust ok...there you go. We go from there, but I won't make a leap to say a guy won't turn out if all I have to base it on his Hurney's track record.

what's hilarious is pointing towards SMF's threads, posts, usual point of views........

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
