49'ers cut Jalen Hurd

[Jackcrevol]

never heard of her

 

[BreatheUT]

I’ve been watching and rooting for CP all year thinking Hurd should be playing a similar hybrid position, kid has too much talent to do nothing.

If Hurd can get healthy then he has a lot of tools in his tool belt.

Our season is shot so I guess it’s time to clean the roster. I think it’s time for Jimmy G to go.

Jalen Hurd's mom disses Alvin Kamara in tweet | wbir.com
Tara Smotherman tweeted on Friday afternoon in response to a story on Kamara's performance at the NFL Combine, “Teams will find out soon enough. Many reasons he was the ‘backup’.”

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

He never played RB again after leaving UT

He wanted to play receiver. That was his gripe here. He felt he was taking too many hits as Rb and would be used up before he had a chance to play in the NFL.

Butch was an unlikable dork, but Dobbs did win 9 games twice

FYP

FYP

Is Hooker 5-4 this year? Or is Heupel?

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

If he had stayed here for 4 years at RB he would probably hold every major RB record at UT.

Is that really saying that much though?

49ers cut Jalen Hurd, 2019 third-round pick who never played a game

His entire “MO” was to switch to receiver so his NFL lifespan would be longer. He had a back injury first year and ACL second year. I think he had a lot of pressure on him from family while at U.T. I pray he gets another chance, loved watching him run for Vols.

Yea, Dobbs saved him from a 3 year tenure…

Hurd could be another Patterson type if he would embrace that role.

Did he show them how fast he can run on a treadmill

I honestly believe he was a Botch Jones casualty. He started ahead of Kamara for goodness sake. A proper talent evaluator would have used those guys differently and had major success. BUT WAIT, theres MORE! We actually had a competent QB at the time (not throwing shade at HH by any means). I used to think Hurd was a head case until (somewhat) recently. I read an interview with him about the Jones culture and BS. All things considered, I can't blame the guy in the least bit for taking a hike. I wish him nothing but success and happiness. Dude has been through a lot. I hope he gets back on the field.

 

[Sandevol]

Victim? Of what? He was given the starting role over Kamara and had a mediocre career at best.

The only reason the kid returned the last season the were supposed to use a lead blocker for him. Our line was **** the kid got beat to death we didn’t have anything else. I do not blame him for leaving. Look into all the high ranked classes bitch had and how many left almost immediately because he lied to get them here.

 

[MrBiggles]

His problem was he was in the wrong position. We was too big for RB and hardly broke a long run from RB. When he was thrown the ball, he was good. He should have been moved to WR or TE. He would have been dangerous coming out of the backfield and getting matched up with a LB or Safety.

 

[Thunder Good-Oil]

I loved it when Hurd carried the majority of Florida’s defenders with him towards the south end zone along the west sideline. VFL card issued for that play alone.

 

[OllVol]

Inventer of the 'no look TD' vs Georgia. Basically ended his time at UT.

 

[USAFgolferVol]

There were signs early in HS at MBA of attitude problems. That’s one reason he ended up at Beech

Had a lot to do with his stupidass mother

He earned his starting role. Did you watch his first two years at UT? Remember the Outback Bowl? SMDH

 

[USAFgolferVol]

I don’t think he’s all that talented

Really?

 

[USAFgolferVol]

Hurd could be another Patterson type if he would embrace that role.

Nope. Entirely different skill set

 

[WoodsmanVol]

He should’ve been open to playing tight end here. That would his best spot. But he really is a product of getting so much attention early that it impacted his attitude and thus career.

Might be. But I think he left to avoid further infection of Butchitis. I think that's true for Wharton, Daniel Helm, and a few others. Hurd just might have been protecting himself the only way available to him.

 

[feathersax]

But, his mom said that he was so much better than Kamara.

I'd say his mom is his problem, she appeared to be a real head case.

Between her and Butch you have to feel sorry for him at least a little.

NAILED it!

Bur he didn’t.
