CJ seems to be a better blocker, but I’m not convinced that Hurst is necessarily “bad” at it. Hurst also might have a bit better of a catch radius. CJ’s intangibles (leadership , locker room ) will be missed the most imo, but I think Hurst could provide a slight upgrade in some other metrics.
I’m friends with Doug Farrar who is the national editor for USA Today/ Touchdown wire, I was talking to him last night about Hurst. They will have a pretty detailed breakdown of Hurst early next week I think. That should explain a bit more about some of the deficiencies I’m worried about. They do some great breakdowns on players, Doug has done film studies with players like Richard Sherman, Matt Ryan, and so on giving him the players POV on a lot of things, so I respect his take a lot.
