2. I guess he graded a +.4 against some first and second teamers because he can't rush the passer or stop the run.
3. My "really strong opinion" as you call is has basically been one of defending the blind "he does nothing" posts. I don't think I have made any claims about him taking a starters role or being a Pro Bowl talent. However, I do take the time to isolate nearly all the so-called roster bubble players on all their snaps. Hunt, as I have stated before, was the only one on many of his snaps that was consistently collapsing the pocket from his side. This, in his second game this season off a back injury with a total of about 8 practices under his belt. I see him as a positive that can provide quality depth and a rotation of Dunlap (which helps him as well) at the LDE position. I haven't seen any other player on the defensive line do that so I feel he will make the squad.
1. Seems like you have a loose definition of "very successful NFL career". Let's pretend that he had a great career, what does that mean for today? Hunt didn't line up against him 4 years ago, it was just a week or two ago. He's not good right now, so saying "former first round pick" is very misleading.
2. He can't. He's not good. Please don't use PFF grades as proof of your claim because then I'm going to have to hold that against you and make you look like a complete hypocrite. You constantly defend players that grade out poorly, so let's not pretend that PFF should matter in your opinion. You can't just pull PFF numbers as proof when it's convenient and then ignore them otherwise.
3. Your really strong opinion is a really strong opinion because you're one of the very few defending Hunt in the manner that you consistently do from thread to thread. Other people have called you out on your bias too, so I'm not the only one that sees it. Hunt isn't good, and if you think he is after isolating his snaps, I no longer value your opinion whatsoever when it comes to 4-3 DEs. The only thing you seem to be getting right is that he will make the team, but only because the team won't give up on the Hunt project quite yet. Dunlap is a 3 down guy, he plays 85% of the team's snaps. This d-line wants to run a rotation, yes, but Dunlap isn't one of the guys moving very often.
