Ah, that explains your horrid takes and draft prospects; "curmudgeon that loves to get into pissing matches when he's clearly overmatched."

Not pimping AU or anything, but he can run circles around all of us when it comes to football knowledge. Read the room, know your role and just stop.

This may be one take we dont agree on, but I'll step out there and say Hurst will be considered a threat that defenses must account for, unlike CJ, and will surpass your predicted production... if I am wrong feel free to let me know.

He is right in that from an ability standpoint, they offer different things and one is not head and shoulders above the other, but Hurst is indeed a worse blocker (ESPECIALLY in pass pro). Hurst has better hands (barely; Ceej had good hands here) and is more-athletic, but doesn't have the bulk that Ceej does, so it really remains to be seen how much of an improvement he'll be.

That being said, I agree with you that he will have better numbers here than Ceej did: unless we stop targeting TEs altogether, I can definitely see a 55 catch, 600 yardish season from HH, just based on what he's capable of.

I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do :)
