Sure, ask hin aboot his 2 bright spots and not the spending spree he went on overpaying a 2-14 core with ridiculously large contracts

It's not like he was consistently drafting good players in the first round or anything.

Safe picks--unless you consider Jonathan Stewart, Jeff Otah, Everette Brown (traded a first rounder for him).

 

Where are the WRs he drafted?

Where are the defensive tackles?

How many elite CBs did he draft?

 

How do you think he did negotiating contracts?

How well did he do in free agency?

 

He gave away the 33rd pick in the draft for Armanti Edwards, a small school QB with NO WR EXPERIENCE (which is still the case).

He tried to ttrade up with the Rams to draft Jimmy Clausen--they did not accept his offer.

He drafted players with injury histories that shortenened or adversly impacted their careers.

No WRs or DTs but gamble was a good pick

Gamble was solid, but I don't think he ever made a pro bowl.  I think he cost us a fourth rounder to move up and grab.  If I am moving up in the first round to grab a DB, he better be special.

 

How many free agent WRs and draft picks did he bring in, only to bust here?  It would be impossible to miss that often.  I started counting one day and got up to about 14 from memory-

Trademark Hurney:

He kept Morgan and let Witherspoon walk.

He let Geoff Schwartz and Evan Mathis go (different years), but re-signed Garry Williams.

 

  Sure, he had a few nice picks, but you or I would have done as well.

He never did make a pro bowl but should have. Just thinking about what our defense could have done with a gamble in his prime is scary. But yeah hurney wasn't the greatest I was never arguing that lol.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I didn't move the goal posts. But anyone who follows football who wants to engage in a rational discussion can't argue that 10 7th round picks are equal to 10 1st rounders in value. The argument has always been we haven't spent as much on defense has we have on offense. Draft picks have value just like salary. We have not spent the same amount of draft pick salary cap on defense that we have on offense since drafting Bryce. It's not even close. Just the 2 1sts we used on Bryce, 2 overall 1sts have a value of 6000. That doesn’t even factor in DJ Moore or the 2 2nds. Bryce cost more than everything we've spent on defense in 6 damn years.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Woukd be a great addition You know the issues from my prespective, 2 things the Panthers must do 1. Edge or pass rushers or 2 oline or 3 oline or as Andy Reid says, when in doubt, draft a lineman it is time   That oline is troubling plus a small person at QB  they   1. Can do a lot better than mayes at center, 2. and lewis has had injuries all season. 3. Moton should not have  been resigned long term, 4. corbett is a shadow and will probably be released  5 and Christianson coming off Achilles   6 and the kicker, would be Ickey’s contract if they decide to keep him INMO rookie and contracts will be needed to offset all that
