What would Hurney have done?

Just to pass some time before our next pick, what do y'all think Hurndog would've done in the position we were in today?

Try to keep the hate and unrealisticness to a minimum...remember Hurney nailed the past two first rounders.

although I think Hurney wouldn't have screwed up this since Star basically fell right in our lap....

drafting a DT in the first would have driven Hurndog to do the following:

2nd round: Mante Teo

4th round: Marcus Lattimore

5th round: Former QB WR project

6th round: fug it, let's draft another running back

Afterwards, probably pound a fifth of gin and use his tears as lube.

honestly we might've still gotten a good player, but Hurney never showed me any indication that he valued prospect DTs that much. I don't know if it would've been Star but he may very well have passed him over like the teams before us did. Maybe he'd still have been hesitant to draft Star given the health scare. I honestly think that's the only reason he fell as far as he did. Remember what Gettleman said about big men and what they allow you to do. Coughlin's philosophies left an imprint in him that Hurney didn't have.

The only thing he may have done differently was trade ahead of the Jets to take Star. Or he may have stayed put and taken him when he fell in our laps like Gettleman did. Word is that the scouting staff loved Star, and he always listened to them.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By CRA · Posted

      Ravens mixing it up with a random Mark Andrew tush push last year isn't a similar situation.  Lamar has run QB sneaks his entire career.  And often instead of a traditional sneak will even employ a 4th and 1 direct snap to Lamar simply because of how athletic he is (which even Cam did a lot of) and let him pick his own holes.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      height being an issue doesn't just mean batted balls.  You could argue Bryce minimizes batted balls by adopting other poor habits such as his jump passing and leaving the pocket.   As I said, there are plays you can point to where he clearly was blind to parts of the field/players....which kills plays and opportunity. Which actually means some of the shorter/hot throws when things break down are where his vision gets blocked (and he had below average production all around the line of scrimmage).   has he figured it out? I mean, he improved off a trainwreck start.  But Bryce Young since arriving in the league (even while figuring it out)......doesn't generate much offensive production vs his peers.  I just think his ceiling is low.   And that's not in the grand scheme what you want in the NFL.  I think he can develop into a serviceable QB, that will largely always been a middle of the pack or low end starter.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      People make a lot of noise about his footwork and I think it is overblown. Whether he takes 3 steps backwards or 5 small steps doesn't matter as long as he ends up at the right depth and is in sync with  the receiver regarding timing. If he does that consistently who cares as long as he has a firm stable base as he delivers the ball. Which he does need to work on. However even that is somewhat overblown given that often QBs have to throw off balance or from different arm angles to fit the ball around defenders. He is considered very accurate so apparently it isn't hurting him that much.
