Just looking around the division, the Saints have 9, the Falcons have 8, and the Bucs have 8.  The Panthers are the only team that doesn't list it's scouts in the staff directory.

Some guy on the Titan's SBNation blog is posting about his days as a scout for the Saints and the Panthers, and I was curious to see who it might have been (and if he was another NJPanther type, which I suspect).

The scouts are not nearly as important as the guy who takes all the data and digests it.

 

Hurney and Gettleman could use the exact same scouts with totally different results.

 

But all of the talent evaluators become important when they're given a voice in the discussion. It's not like Gettleman locks himself in a room and doesn't come out until he's ordered the prospects on the draft board. I don't know how inclusive Hurney was in the decision making process but Gettleman and others have been clear about the openness of those discussions. Cam's stated that everyone on the team has the right to say something; that you don't have to be a leader to open your mouth in the locker room. Seems like the draft war room takes the same approach.

 

Scouts are definitely important. Even the best GM would make bad decisions if he's given bad information to work with from the jump.

True, and if our scouts were poor I am sure they would have been replaced.

 

What is more likely is that Hurney was being given good data, he just had zero clue what to do with it.

      I’m trying to be positive on Bryce Young, but….

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Who is comparing the two QB’s as football players? They’re completely different QB’s i said before Baker got here that he could play but the huddle swore up and down he was the worst ever  Bryce very similar right now. Bryce out there with a bunch of guys that’ll be out of the league in a few years minus TMac. And given this thread is about the 4th and 1 play specifically well it was actually TMac that butchered the entire play by running the wrong route

      Team goes as the QB goes. It's no wonder we get dogwalked on a regular basis. That's the face of the franchise.

      All six of Nic Scourten’s pass rush attempts yesterday

      Rookie 2nd rounder in his first career game (and a few weeks post punctured lung) gets 6 snaps, is doubled on 5 of them, created a pressure to force a QB scramble on the only one he was singled, and still put a little pressure on one of the doubles which ended up being an INT........... And people look at that as a bad first impression? Even if you wanted to see a better move to beat or get off the double team, just the fact that he's making teams account for him with 2 players on a given snap, is a win for the defense.  It's up to the rest of the defense to make the other team pay for doing so, you can't fault him for that. Seriously, it's like some people are just going to be upset with everything if we're not a SB contender every season and play like it every snap of every game.  I've been screaming it all offseason, we're not a player or two away from being a contender, we're still in the early phase of a re-build, especially if we don't have the QB (spoiler alert, we don't).   Sometimes you just have to see potential and growth from a team at this phase of the process, expecting elite play in week 1 out of guys like Scourton is a picture perfect recipe for ending up upset. If that's what he does in his first game coming off the freak injury and less practice time while recovering, I'm extremely optimistic of what he can turn into with more experience and time to work on his craft.
