Fox/Hurney's Biggest Blind Spot - WR


Delhommey

Recommended Posts

WR's Drafted:

Walter Young

Keary Colbert

Drew Carter

Dewayne Jarrett

Ryne Robinson

Brandon LaFell

Armati Edwards

David Gettis

Free Agent WR's

Kevin Dyson

Ricky Proehl

Keyshawn Johnson

DJ Hackett

Moose

Mark Jones

WR's Traded For:

Rod Gardner (6th rounder)

I might be missing some, but come on. There are absolutely no success stories on this list (the second coming of Moose is about as close as you get, but that's offset by the fact they let him walk the first time. Proehl was a good #3, that's all).

Part of being a good leader is realizing we all have our blind spots and Hurney and Fox somehow refuse to believe that they don't know WR's.

They've done great at RB's and Defense, but can't they see they need to go for outside help on this one? Bring in a big name and another pair of eyes?

* QB isn't a heck of a lot better, but it's not anywhere near this level.

What makes Fox's coaching and scouting staffs look even worse are the WRs drafted before Fox was hired:

Moose

Rae Carruth

Donald Hayes

Jim Turner

Steve Smith

... and all of these guys were starters, Hayes with a Super Bowl ring with New England.

    • i think i go in the opposite direction of most. my ideal retirement is living in some old downtown area in a flat above some shop or something.  life out in the country was just something i got real tired of. My kids actually miss some of living out there, which i understand. that was where they grew up for the most part. 40 acres with a 2.5 acre pond. it was beautiful, but also way too much (and too expensive) for me to keep up with. 
    • FLASHBACK: I remember back when ESPN was just starting--he was their anchor.  They used to show stuff like Rodeo and field hockey--I remember laughing when he went to a commercial mocking a cycling competition in Utah (or something similar--I made that up) and I laughed.  I told my dad, "We may have us a new anchor when we get back from commercial."  When they came back from commercial, Berman was looking very serious and he said, "Any comments by me do not reflect the views of ESPN....The men and women who cycle are dedicated athletes and we are honored to shine light on their sport." (Paraphrasing).  Dad laughed hysterically. My first memory of him--and that was like 1980.
    • Might not have a team without them. Although that probably applies to the Panthers, too.
