Hurney and drafting receivers

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

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

He isn’t a hit or a miss just like kb and Funch (as of now).

He wasn’t GM when we drafted Smitty. Not counting Moose coming back, Hurney did not add 1 single legit WR in his entire time as GM here...

All the people cheering for DG gone and also wanting to get Cam weapons are getting exactly what they wished for. Hurney wasting resources on sh*tty receivers. 

 

Injury was major reason for decline last years production. 

I believe the coaches have faith in 

Funchess

CMC

Samuel

Byrd

Clay

lower round rookie

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

Ditto - I really liked him and just had a hunch he would turn out to be really good. Just didn't happen.

We have a million young receivers no need to add any more of those. We need an impact veteran. Someone who could come in and start for us day one.

So we can't judge LaFell to be either?

Yeah, okay...

Funny labeling kb a hit. 

If he is still playing, he is a hit.  Not a big one, but a hit none the less.  Leaving out Lafell, KB probably has more catches that every receiver that Hurney ever drafted, combined.  

[WOW!!]

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. 

I find it hilarious watching ppl who have been here for years act like they didn't have a opinion on the move when it happened or was against it from the start..

When in reality Hurney could have gotten free Blow jobs here for getting Jarret in the 2nd round.. We got Beason, Kali and CJ in that draft.. But that day It was "Omg we got Jarret" Steal of the draft.. Funny how ppl forget when it makes them look bad...

Part of me wants Tepper to buy the team and raid the Steelers scouting department. The Steelers find productive WRs in the draft like clockwork.

All of those were late round picks. It's hard to get those right.  Let's see how he does with a first or second round pick.

Well, if you believe Drew Carter, Steve Smith ruined him.

We had that whole discussion a while back.

His track record with drafting wr's and Norv system needing a number stretch the defense type of guy leads me to believe we will at least try to trade for someone. Only problem is trading only gives you TWO legit options, both can be had for the right price but what will that price be.

What round was Dwayne Jarrett picked in again?

If I remember correctly there was one game in particular, it might have been against the Bucs where he completely balled out. I thought he was definitely going to be our answer beside Smith for years.

[WOW!!]

2nd.. And you had no problem with it at the time..
