so who the fug is lardarius gunter?

Big albeit somewhat slow CB. Got forced into the #1 CB role during the playoffs last year due to injuries and got clowned by Julio and to a lesser extent Beckham. He's good for a backup though.

So people are getting pissy that Hurney is trying to sure up a position of need in place of a kicked that we're very unlikely to be playing at any point this season? This makes sense...

Wonder if Butker will make it through the waiver wire.

apparently packers fans are somewhat dismayed? dare I say, HURNEYMAGIK??

 

"Glad to have gmo back, but I can think of at least three players that should have been cut over Gunter."

Hard to beleive, even with injuries, that guy started the NFCC Game last year……..

As to cutting someone else – Gunter was expendable at his position because of numbers. You can’t just cut another guy without realizing how it impacts both Special Teams and the position group.

Not a great player, but can’t believe we could afford too loose him. Ted and capers fail again. So frustrating. Go pack go

 

"Gunter was slow (4.6 40) and would get beat deep. He was decent playing physical, but frustratingly he could never make a play when he was in position. In the regular season Atlanta he had a chance to break on a ball late in the game that would have been a pick 6, but it bounced off his hands and ATL secured the win."

^SOUNDS LIKE A ZONE GUY TO ME

he was pegged as a zone guy coming out

It's honestly a nice pick up

I keep closing my eyes and hoping that when I open them I will find that the last couple of months has all been some horrible dream.

If a dream where we won our opener 23-3 is a horrible dream, please give me more of them.

I'm not sure who to be mad at, but I do know that anytime you draft a kicker, he makes all of his kicks in preseason, and you cut him...something went very wrong somewhere.

Meh. Better than two kickers.

Bad Gano is only one "game on the line, hit off the upright" away

2 bad kickers don't make 1 good.  I'm glad they made their decision and moved on

Old eagle eye Hurney churning the roster I see.  He sure knows how to find value.

 

 

Wonder how that GM search is going?

I think he was found a few months ago.
