A lot of people look at PFFs stats and think they have the whole story is the problem. I see it a LOT on the NFL subreddit.

There's a lot of info you can gain from PFF, but I feel it's realtively entry level poo (for getting into the analytics of football) if you don't pay for the premium. I rarely use them as much since I haven't had the ability to pay for it yet and a lot of their surface level poo doesn't really tell you much.

 

Edit - oh Christ wait is Hurney using pff to draft

I mean, I don't really have a problem with him looking at PFF or even reading draft magazines.  I just don't wanna see much stock put in either.

We do have a scouting department.

KB

So good he gone.  And Funchess was poor for all but a handful of games last season.  If Funchess is g mans claim to fame I feel sorry for the Giants.

[WOW!!]

The hindsight 20 20 on this board is strong..

I still don't remember anybody mad on this board when he made that pick.. 

They weren’t mad with most of the moves Hurney made at the time. It’s all the hindsight bullshit. Still I wouldn’t mind the Hurney bashing if they didnt actually wish to have Gettleman back with it. I don’t want either, but I’d take Hurney over fat man every day of the week.

That’s why he is going to draft a TE, RB, FS, & DE

I can definitely see getting the best TE in the draft two TE sets next season and long term replacement for Olsen,this offense needs a TE to go anywhere and what the OC wants is what we will get in the first and big RB in the 2nd to replace  Stuart

Honestly I would have an issue with this. I would not want a GM having their thoughts clouded by media BS. The subconscious works in strange ways that we aren't even beginning to comprehend.

KB and Funchess are light years ahead of anyone Hurney drafted.

Our maybe Cam is just a better QB....nobody brings that up but we know why.

Gettleman isn't coming back.  Everybody knows that.  Nobody's "wishing" for it because everyone understands it can't happen.

A lot of people do wish our idiot owner hadn't replaced him with Hurney, but there's no changing that now.

What people actually want is a real GM that could get hired by someone other than Jerry Richardson, but that's also not happening until we get a new owner, so the best hope for now is just that Hurney does minimal damage.

Hurney = 1 hit (a single with Lafell) and a lot of swings and misses.

Gettleman = 2 hits (singles with KB and Funchess), and Samuel still at bat.  

 

However, it doesn't really matter how Gettleman did.  He works for another team now.  Hurney has perhaps the worst record of any NFL GM when it comes to drafting or signing free agent wide receivers, and he is the one who will be making the choices this year.  That should worry any rational panthers fan. 

 

Funny labeling kb a hit.

Fair enough.

[FugAllY'all]

Unless one of the top 2-3 guys falls to us for no rational reason (or we'll willing to trade up), then I don't want Hurney drafting WRs. We need to add one blue chipper this offseason and maybe a couple other guys who can challenge our current top 3 (Funchess, Samuel, Byrd). I just read the Steelers are listening to trade offers for Martavis Bryant. There's a guy we can give up less than a first round pick for and sign for a modest long term deal that will immediately be at least our second best receiver.

Hell, take it on back to 2002.

Walter Young (rd 7, 2003)

Drew Carter (rd 5, 2004)

Keary Colbert (rd 2, 2004)

 

Keary Colbert will always mystify me.... He had such an awesome and promising rookie season and never came close to that again.

Labelling Brandon LaFell a hit is a bit of a reach too.

The best term to describe LaFell would be "a drop".
