Don Gregory and the Scouting Department

[Mr. Scot]

So as we look at the state of the team, I see a fair amount of discussion of Marty Hurney. But if there's been much mention of Don Gregory and the scouting staff, I've missed it.

I think there ought to be.

[Growl]

Ive met him. He's really socially awkward.

[Zod]

They report to Hurney, who makes the decisions.

The scouting department gathers the data. They lay it out for Hurney to make the call.

This falls squarely on Hurney's shoulders. I doubt he is not getting enough information to make a judgement.

[bbell21]

What scouting department? LOL

[CRA]

I want Hurney to discuss more about investing in their backfield more than any team in the league (his words)....and explaining why he takes that approach with THIS coaching staff.

[Proudiddy]

Yeah, Gregory didn't pull the trigger on the trades for Otah, Brown, or Edwards. Nor did he draft and then cut Attiyah Ellison, Eric Shelton, Dwayne Jarrett, Keary Colbert, or Terrell McClain.

More to it than even that, honestly. Hurney hires the scouts.

Hurney is far from blameless, but I have some big questions right now about the quality of our scouting staff.

It's not the amount of information Hurney's getting that concerns me. It's how good that info actually is.

Why are we suddenly upset about scouting? I don't get it.

[Bj-Monster23]

Our drafting after the first round has been horrible for the last couple of years.

[Bj-Monster23]

Why are we suddenly upset about scouting? I don't get it.

Because they are not winning. Winning cures all things.

I mean are we this upset with our draft picks already? It just seems like an odd thing to bring up after a loss when our veterans are as much to blame as anyone.

[carolina-chuck]

I dnt know but I'm not a bit happy with what I saw in Kuechly and Amini yesterday.

[CRA]

Don't let Cam Newton fool you

The 2010 and 2011 drafts were the type that severely hurt a team that claims to build through the draft

[Proudiddy]

Gregory isn't the problem. When we hit on picks, we usually hit big time... Our first rounders have always been big contributors aside from Otah. It's the gambling, high-risk, low-reward draft day trades and the numerous misses in the 2nd and 3rd rounds by Hurney that have hurt us.
