Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[Sleegro]

That does appear to be a pretty good staff.

Keep Wentz. It’s not like he has shown himself to be a bad playoff QB, and when healthy - albeit during the regular season - he has shown that he can be elite.

Foles is clutch, and nothing bad to say about him, but I’d rather take my chances with 10-12 more years of Wentz.

Wentz can't win many games if he's not in uniform. Dude stays hurt way to much. Some guys are just too fragile for the game of football. Foles is gonna make a bunch of money in free agency.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Hurd was not a good fit for Jones' O. The physical pounding Hurd took was unnecessary. It's not like the more appropriate scheme didn't become apparent during Hurd's time on the Hill.

we didny tell hurd to come here. his choice to play rb. couldve transitioned here to wr.

he quit. hope he gets a chance in league... but he quit on his teammates.

Dude Hurd was awesome. Don’t be silly.

McGill was talking up Hurd at one point on this very website.

Don’t let him fool you

I wish the bucs would cut winston and sign Foles but that won't happen.

He was concussed.

Looking back on it now, we should’ve used kamara in the slot a lot more.

Lets debate hurd/kamara the rest of the night!


Good night!

 

[eVOLve]

I’m not saying kamara isn’t one of the best He clearly is. But Hurd is also a very talented football player that no way you can put on the bench as well

Would love to see Hurd get drafted by the Saints. Would be a good fit.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Dude Hurd was awesome. Don’t be silly.

No he wasn't. When is 3+ ypc awesome?...f'n never. He was alright as a plugger, but he didn't have any business getting 2/3 the touches. Kamara is a freakishly great runner, Hurd doesn't belong in the same conversation with him as a running talent. That's like comparing Otis Anderson, or Brandon Jacobs with Barry Sanders...it is stupid. And it was jyst a massive waste of elite RB talent...period.

Post of the day. Hahaha

 

[Catbone]

Well either CP or Eric Berry going to Super Bowl

Kamara and John Kelly too

 

[eVOLve]

And in retrospect, can you really blame Hurd for what he did? Dude played hard every snap prior to 16' season.. was promised a certain play style by Botch and Botch didnt deliver.

Do. Not. Want. Plus we don’t have any draft picks left...

Hindsight 20/20 they were both very good (Kamara better, but still) and being misused and both should have been on the field together much, much more.

@butchna


This is what I was asking about the other day. Appears there is a rule against it but what's a rule when it's got a waiver like this

 

[SweetasSoda]

So why are we optimistic about getting Tee?

 

[eVOLve]

I have no idea what the Saints draft situation is. What does it look like?

Kamara should have gotten way more carries than Hurd

 

[SaguaroVols]

down to only former Bama guys now

All these Bama signees showing up on campus with the new staff...

Who are you people?

Love it...no way Bama doesn't take a step back next year.

View attachment 188811 i don’t know who this guy knows that’s a insider but since I started following him on twitter, he seems to be pretty accurate

Both were very misused.

It would’ve been much better for both parties if he’d just gone ahead and transferred at the end of 2015.


Hurd has a lot of talent and definitely gave his all for us in 2014 and 2015. But he was a headache for the coaching staff in a lot of ways too. He complained about us not running downhill more and then transferred to be a WR in the pass happiest conference in America (and he probably should have been being used like an Aaron Hernandez type player all along) I’m not sure he had (or has) the maturity to have stuck in one place all 4-5 years.

He was a good plugger...till he wasn't. He was never dynamic, and he wasn't even in the same area code as a runner as Alvin Kamara. That is a absolute fact no matter what I said.

 

[SLICKYINC]

I have no idea what the Saints draft situation is. What does it look like?

2nd, 4th, 5th 2 6th, and 7th round picks left. traded away the first for Kamara then traded 3rd for Bridgewater. Honestly don’t remember what we gave up for Apple, might have been the 4th.
