Very true. Hurney was awful. He was just as bad as Fitterer, he just had such an unwarranted long tenure that people just remember his first round "home runs." Guess who else has a stellar first round history? Me. And I'm an idiot. Huddlers loved Hurney because he overpayed fan favorites and would never move on from any likeable player. Everyone loved his drafts because, "Hey, we need 2 DTs, a safety, and a WR" and he would draft them in precisely that order. It was not until 2 seasons after the fact that none of his picks were still in the league except his vaunted 1st rounder. "He gambled on Keuchley at 7! What a genius!" Yeah, ok.

Same for me on Mariota

Gettleman drafted McCaffrey. But yeah, Hurney was pretty good at doing the easiest part of a GM job

The huddle reaches a new low. The team is so bad that the opponents fan alts have to troll our favorite announcer

Was he Hurn-dogg's final parting gift to us? I'll give credit where it's due, Hurney was too dumb to overthink those top ten picks.

Yeah, but he had a reliable WR in Thielan his first two years, and T-Mac this year. Not a stellar group, but he was billed as "a point guard that distributes the ball well." He hasn't been. Even our dipshit owner said having Bryce would save us from having to spend resources on WR. If you've got a good QB and good OL, you usually can get by with a mediocre WR corps, but we have Turnover Fred.

Yeah, I thought he was added after that draft.

Turnover Fred

I think Dan gets another year. Outside of rounds one and two of last year’s draft, he’s done some decent things. A roster as lacking in talent as ours cannot afford to whiff in the first two rounds. It seems like he learned something. I hope so, anyway

I’m not saying anything bad about T-Mac, I’m saying you saw what happened in the first quarter when the ball was in Bryce’s hands. You should have just made a thread saying T-Mac should be Bryce’s first read when he’s in single man coverage instead of criticizing a game plan and RB that resulted in a win.

Do good franchises get excited over trying to force feed a single WR resulting in fumbles, drops, and INTs, because it might result in said WRs super fan thinking it’s improvement?

Dude is awesome. God forbid anybody shows some excitement. Enthusiastic guys are always going to get hate from miserable, angry bastards. When he shows some objectivity and acts excited over a Saints play is when everyone will turn on him and hate him.

Brandt Tillis is the difference between last year’s draft and this one.

yeah, it'll literally only take one positive yard for him to be "better." lol

If this draft class turns out to be decent. Dan should get canned and Tillis promoted. (since no real GMs would be likely to interview here.)

He might have gone undrafted if it weren't for the Browns being perpetually stupid. (I realize the Panthers are perpetually stupid too, but we weren't in the QB market....I mean, we should have been, but still.)

Anyone that purposefully tanks an interview with the Ravens so that they can go to the Browns because they have delusions of being a starter is insane.

Yeah, wait until Tepper decides that his "hands off" approach isn't working and has Nicole run the next draft.

Ass sharpens ass

We can fry Turnover Fred though, right?

beat me to it

Is "Turnover Fred" Bryce's new nickname? Not bad, but we can do better. (PS don't edit the thread title and ruin my post)

Unironically, a Doug Flutie career arc is his best case scenario

Based on what everyone in house is saying, he cares a lot and gets really down on himself. I don't think it's lack of effort, I think he's overthinking everything and playing with no instinct or physicality at all.

BC must have banged Canales' favorite porn star or something. They seem reluctant to play him for whatever reason.
