JAF-N72EX Posted August 8, 2022 Author Share Posted August 8, 2022 I don't see the appeal in Hurts at all. To me he's a low ceiling guy who will most likely level out to be a semi high-end backup when it's all said and done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See who pops in preseason and give them Harry's reps -- his 20 catches on 40 targets would not be missed this season one bit. I would disagree…I don’t think you ever want anyone hurt especially when you are trying to figure out what you have…for me he is by far the most physical receiver on that roster and that shouldn’t be overlooked…I think he can be a solid contributor as a depth option for us.

If ANY staff in the league becomes so dependent on a late offseason addition like Harry, even as depth, then maybe they should've done more earlier in the offseason and not put themselves into that position in the first place.

If I am honest I couldn’t care how late in the day a guy is signed as long as he can play a part in the team…I believe Harry can offer us something…no one will confuse him with Megatron but if he can give a red zone threat…be an excellent blocker on the perimeter…make a few tough catches…for a 7th round pick I have no issue with that… The hope is when he is healthy he can use his clear physical talents in a far less complex offence to become more than that…and if he doesn’t then are we really concerned at losing a 7th round pick taking a shot on a 24 year old former first rounder? Not for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was just at HH too. Regardless Hurts played a ton more snaps in college and so far in the NFL *and* has a supporting cast that is truly leaps and bounds better than Fields' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not for me. You should care. Normally guys who are signed in July or traded for in July for a 7th round pick suck Do I think Harry can provide what you mentioned above to an extent? Sure. Do I think it's probable with this group after not doing it with McDaniels, Belichick and Brady? Not at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would tank his value. It doesn’t make much sense. I mean it makes sense to make some calls when you have a 2nd round pick who is currently 4th on your depth chart. Then the calls got leaked. Someone may have been high on his potential still. But few are going to buy a bad back and/or bad attitude. Sounds like attitude may not be true. If he does well in preseason he may get some suitors or Bears may keep him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dll2000 Posted August 8, 2022 Share Posted August 8, 2022 Problem is bad backs are totally variable and can flair up at anytime. Takes a lot off his value. Too bad because based on college tape and talent this guy should a good player in this league . I would never take or pick up a guy with a neck or back injury other than Peyton Manning who is not just anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he does well in preseason he may get some suitors or Bears may keep him. Agreed. At this point he is almost impossible to market. A bad back on a young OLman that has barely seen the field in a game or in practice is a hard sell especially since the reason that he supposedly dropped in the draft was due to the fact that he had a bad back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good ones anyway. Jenkins has been worst. Gordan sounds like he is dealing with a soft tissue injury that keeps flaring on him. He misses a lot of practice. Maybe a hamstring or quad or calf.

But, it sounded to me like his back has been bothering him. With how they were dancing around certain topics and their "choice of words", I kind of think it was a mental thing with him. A "trainer" could be a psychologist or a "mental trainer" as well. You could hear other OL talking about Jenkins being in meetings and how they want to "bring him up" so I think he had some sort of meltdown.

And if anyone has a good track of drafting and developing WR's, it's this organization. It's kind of a weird argument to make. If you're saying the Pats draft **** receivers, then you're admitting Neal is **** (which he is). They do a decent job of developing. They got Agholor's career back on track. Edelman and Welker come to mind. Bourne is solid If anyone is going to get a lot out of a guy, especially if he's good, it's New England. Not one team offered better than a 7th round pick. Not one team offered that prior to July. Neal stinks. Edited August 8, 2022 by beardown3231 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
