Hurney drafted Pilares over Sherman

[chknwing]

if hurney didnt draft a wr, this forum would have went full meltdown.  blame yourselves.

We drafted Brandon Hogan at CB that year ahead of Sherman.

 

On the other hand, had we picked Sherman that year, we might have been better in 2011, causing us to get a later pick in 2012, and preventing us from picking LK.  :)

Any opportunity I get to drop the F bomb, i go for it.

Plus I have to remind people who he is so they understand my username.

He also drafted Fua over him.

Yes hes on rookie salary for now. Ends next year tho. So add him in with Luke and Cam getting gigantic contracts in the next few years

And that would be ultra ghey if you wiped my tears away. But I appreciate the kindness

I was thinking more "creepy" than "ghey" but I guess either is fine.

Seriously though, you're acting like having Sherman on the team would be a bad thing.

That's crazy.

Well in Pilares defense, he is the last Panther to take a kickoff for a TD lol

Ok so we draft Sherman, fox would promptly sit him behind some veteran for years while we all wonder why Hurney wasted another late round pick on a guy that can't get on the field.

Meanwhile the league misses out on one of the next great players to lace up his cleats.

Well can I at least make fun of Fua still

Isn't he on his way to The Super Bowl with the Broncos?

1- 'creepy' does make it much funnier

2- not at all. I love Sherman. Have for years now. I was just speaking about the salary cap

I'm shutting the Huddle down now.

And the Jaguars drafted a punter over Russell Wilson. It happens. Sherman was a 5th rounder; a lot of teams overlooked him.

Sherman wasn't supposed to be a good player and we didnt really need a great corner because we had a very solid corner chris gamble

Sherman might not be who he is today without the seahawks... in carolina he wouldnt be juiced up on PEDs

Sherman lasted to the fifth round. That means all 32 teams missed on him repeatedly. And frankly, given his body of work in college, you can't blame them. He was not remotely as good of a corner as he is now, and he is in a system that maximizes his skillset. As good as Sherman is, he's still not as technically sound or as physically gifted as Revis was in his heyday and has a ways to go to affect coverages the way Revis did at his absolute best. He benefits tremendously from playing alongside a fantastic safety in Earl Thomas who gives him the freedom to take risks other corners would be afraid to take.

 

So, while I would love to have had him on our team, and while Hurney had his long share of draft misses, it's not a given Sherman would have thrived in our defensive scheme quite like he has with Seattle's.
