Say what you want about the guy, but the guy has had some solid drafts. Almost the entire 2012 draft by Hurney played well. And as much poo as hes been given about armanti, it seems that qb to wr project has finally paid off. I give the man mad props. He may not know how to structure contracts but he did set carolina up with some decent players for years to come

Good at making draft picks or not. Those huge contracts would have screwed us over for many years to come! Thank God Gettleman Knows how to do business!

He was good at drafting in the first round. In the other rounds? "Meh" at best.

 

Armanti may or may not be a good WR in the end of it all. But all the cap problems and lousy contracts far outweighed his draft "prowess".

 

He seems like a good guy to have a beer with, though.

2011 draft not looking so good (minus Cam, of course)

The problem with the Armanti pick was that we drafted him too high. We probably could have acquired him after the draft.  Now I hate to think about who we passed up to get him (perhaps someone else would like to entertain us with that), but suffice it to say that that deal will always epitomize anti-value (if you will).

Accepting the premise that Edwards was a good draft pick, we still gave up too much to get him. And he's far from the only pick about whom that can be said.

However you feel about the actual picks, Hurney's draft strategy was a major weak point.

From Armanti's pick to our next pick in the 4th round of that draft (Norwood), we missed a solid quadruplate of TEs (Jimmy Graham, Moeaki, Dennis Pitta, Aaron Hernandez), Navorro Bowman, and Geno Atkins. 

 

So...yeah.

I didn't really want you to take me up on it...(LOL).  

 

Talkin' about a total breakdown.  This thread should now be fail-.gif approved, but I guess it would be politically incorrect being that Armanti seems to have finally stepped up his game.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      If Canales comes back and Bryce doesn’t I would probably prefer to bring in 3 guys he likes from around the league or maybe outside a top ten pick and work through them, give that a shot. Because if we win a few more games we won’t be in the running for the top rated QB prospects anyway.

      There’s too many to reply to so I’ll just say a couple more things then I’m out: 1. It hasn’t been both ways and that’s the point. People saying stuff like “too bad Bryce Young didn’t make that tackle” is a direct result of the ridiculousness of blaming Bryce Young for literally everything. I remember one game day thread a poster unironically blamed Bryce Young for JT Sanders flipping onto his own neck and injuring himself. That post was pied. I literally just read a post blaming Bryce Young for XL dropping a ball on a would-be game winning drive last year. This past week, when Tmac bounced a ball off his hands for an interception, Bryce Young was immediately blamed in the game day thread. Alternatively, people who try to give credit to Bryce Young are immediately told that to credit Bryce Young is taking away credit from Rico Dowdle, OL, whoever, and that they shouldn’t be talking positively about Bryce Young because he doesn’t deserve any credit. 2. Yes, there have always been bad posters, the difference is that back then they were largely derided. Bryce Young’s rookie season, when many of us were simply pointing at the train wreck of the whole team and saying it was maybe a little tough to evaluate Bryce Young when he had no time to throw and slow receivers, and just saying basic stuff like “Bryce Young can physically throw the ball further than 20 yards.” There was an attempt made to limit all those opinions to a single thread, by a mod. This is like saying lunatics running the asylum is normal because there have always been lunatics in the asylum. The difference is before they were patients, now they’re in charge. 3. I know for a fact I am labeled as one of the “Bryce Stans” by many of the usual suspects, but the fact of the matter is they have no idea what my position is on Bryce Young because any attempts at nuanced discussion in the past have been so completely pointless due to never being able to get past the hyperbole. How can we have a serious conversation if you insist he is physically incapable of throwing a football 20 yards? Or if you insist that he somehow duped the Panthers into drafting him just by drinking water? Or if you insist that he should be able to succeed behind one of the worst offensive lines I’ve ever seen (rookie year, not now). And I’m not the only one, there are many who have left the huddle because of it and started a discord server, I’m just too lazy for another app.
