Players who did not get a fair shake

[m1al]

IIRC Jalen Hurd wanted to switch positions because he knew he didn't have a future at RB in the NFL, and Butch said too bad so sad.

My recollection of that is the opposite. Seems I remember it being said he was thought to have a higher ceiling on defense, but he wouldn't consider anything other than RB.

That said, I also recall my recollection ain't what it used to be....

Any player who had to play under Dooley, Butch and Pruitt didn’t get a fair shake having to listen to those morons.

But in all seriousness outside of course Inky’s injury if Jerry Colquitt doesn’t get injured in 94 he would be remembered alongside Hooker, Dobbs, Clausen, and Kelly as a really good qb for us if not better.

Went to UNLV. Didn’t work out there. Now at Louisville as a walk on.

If you can't be mobile in the pocket, at least you can be mobile between schools......

Good point. It is not the world we thought we lived in anymore. It is now something else.

No one has said JG (that I saw). Looks like we are all finally healing.

It was because no one on this forum could spell his name correctly. lol I laugh thinking back at how many times people were correcting others on here with his name. Dormandy.....

Too true. Quinton Doormatty

Guarantano.

It didn't work out the way he wanted,. We absolutely crucified him. He still is a vfl, even for all the crap he went through. I'm not sure we've ever given him a fair shake

How many different coaches/OCs did he have? I think he and Crompton both were victims of this

Casey Clausen. Poor guy's only crime was he had to follow Peyton and Tee. Fans never fully embraced him and never truly appreciated how great he was until long after he was gone.

The Game was Over When: Casey Clausen took the first snap.

Hurd would’ve been an NFL back

i think Hurd's best chance in nfl would have been at rb

I don’t know what fans you are talking about. I think he was well embraced.

I always thought Chris Hannon should have gotten more touches. He did have the misfortune of playing in the dark ages of QBs in the latter part of his career, but I thought he could have stretched the field better than anyone else on our roster. I was always surprised he lost playing time to some of our much slower WRs.

Evan Berry? He was an electric returner, but never was given the opportunity to play elsewhere.

Keller Chryst never got a fair shake. IMHO .

Nah, not at first. It wasn’t due to his play either. One, he was a Cali kid and had that look about him. Second, he had a demeanor off the field that people disliked. That ended as he matured and became older but, people still held those two things against him. However, he was a good QB-better than just serviceable.
