Maybe not as bad as originally thought.  Non displaced fracture

 

 

(10:00 AM): Tough break for UNC OT … North Carolina LT James Hurst, a leading second-tier prospect at the position for the 2014 draft, broke his left leg during the Tar Heels’ 39-17 victory against Cincinnati in the Belk Bowl on Saturday and obviously will be sidelined for a while. Hurst, who was starting his 49th career game, has been projected as a second-day pick at the upcoming draft. The injury has been described as a non-displaced fracture in the left fibula, but its not clear how long it will affect Hurst’s preparation for the combine in February.

As a Carolina fan, I feel awful for James... He was mainstay on that line with Bodine, Bond, and Cooper last year.

 

Hurst will fall but in the fifth round, the risk would outweigh the reward.

 

I'd kind of compare it to the Brandon Hogan situation except for the fact that Hurst never had any off the field issues which is why he could easily only fall to the fourth. 

 

Pre-injury, James was projected to be a late second/early third round pick.

It's just a broken leg. Not that severe, when it comes to football injuries. Sure, he'll be out for a while until it mends, but it's not like he tore a ligament, or hurt anything structurally on the knee. He'll be fine.

 

I'd say, at most, he drops to the back end of the 2nd round, right where we'll be picking.

      PJ's completion % was 63% when starting games in Carolina.  Which I believe is better than Bryce when starting.  And again, 4-3 as the starter here and the LONE QB Carolina has been able to actually win with in the Tepper era.  If you ask a gambling gunslinger to come into blowouts.....they are going to go down in a blaze of glory.  Which he would do.  Yeah, he isn't good.  And gunslingers are supposed to have rockier stats than checkdown QBs.   So....why does PJ Walker have a better comp % as a starter than Bryce Young.  And for every knock you want to make about PJ, you can find something or a skillset that PJ does better than Bryce.   I didn't say PJ had good field vision.  He doesn't.  Tell me about Bryce after he comes off the first read lol.  Let me repeat, PJ Walker is not a good QB.  He is NFL depth and an in house arm.  Bryce Young doesn't belong in a convo w/ Jake and Cam.  He belongs closer in a convo with the backup caliber QBs Carolina was forced into playing.  Which isn't just PJ Walker.  But Kyle Allen.  Moore.  Guys like that.

      Oh I see what you meant by memory. I will trust my memory, I have looked a a lot of those ball charts for Bryce and they trend a general pattern. They thing that has changed that I have noticed more recently is the reduction in the bunching of behind or at  the LOS passes over to his right.  Aside from the quantity of throws recently since the running game has become a more dominant factor.

      Yes but you basically said you are going from a quick skim of those charts without doing the same for Bryce and/or Andy. So you are going memory vs. snapshots. That's not going to be a very comprehensive analysis.
