Hurns to be our number 1

The man was our best pass catcher as a rookie even when Lee & Robinson played (he earned the start opening day as a UDFA and caught 2 TD's on his first 2 nfl catches) He had 1000 yards & 10 TD's while playing through a sports hernia the whole year. Last year after getting his ankle messed up, crawled off the field as to not get a 10 second runoff in a 2 minute situation. You can't teach that kind of grit, you don't cut or renegotiate salarys of players like that unless it would free up the space to land a Drew Brees etc. Hurns' drops in 2016 were nearly as bad as Lee's in 2017. I love the guy - but he hasn't been Mr.Consistency. Hurns 2016: 6 drops on 35 receptions Lee 2017: 8 drops on 56 receptions Combine that with the concussions and injuries, and its not that Hurns is underrated. People love the guy. He's just not expected to play up to the dollar figure of his contract.

Matter of fact, that was his drop number just 8-9 games into the season. It's like the stat people said "he drops so much we're gonna stop counting" lol
He will probably get cut

Lots of respect for him for what he did in that Chargers game crawling off the field in serious pain.
But he isn't worth 7 mil with the receivers on the roster. I hope for a restructure, but likely a cut.

We just paid Moncrief 7 million, and Marqise Lee 9.5 million... not to mention what lesser tier receivers are getting in the open market (Wilson $8 million to the phins) Hurns is worth every cent of that 7 million; if he were a free agent in this market i can almost guarantee he'd get a deal worth 10 million per. He cut down on the drops from 2016, and didn't have a concussion all year. I don't get the gripe against Allen Hurns. He's a very good #2 WR when healthy (even playing hurt tbh). There is 0 incentive for Hurns to restructure, personally he's the third highest paid receiver for this years cap with the most production/pedigree. I really don't get the disdain for this guy.
Championship Formula:
1) Draft Trevor Lawrence! 2) Play good physical Defense! 3) Keep 91% of the roster healthy! 4) ??? 5) Blank #2 6) CHAMPIONSHIP!!! (03-14-2018, 06:34 PM)Firesky Wrote:Exactly.

What lies behind us, and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.

I've seen lots of admiration for his grit and regret that he may not continue to play out his contract. The fact that his level of play dipped after he got paid coupled with the unfortunate injuries piling up is what is hurting his chances and likely causing the front office to value him less than you do. I'm certain he's capable of meaningful contribution if he is lucky enough to avoid further concussions because is work ethic his unquestionable. He may not get that chance in Jacksonville.

Hurns might not make the final roster. After he got paid his play has been awful.

The problem is that all the cap the Jags have spent this year has to come from somewhere. I think Hurns will be cut, and the Moncrief deal was the nail in the coffin. Personally, I'd rather have Hurns than Moncrief, but that's not the way it appears this will turn out. "Why should I give information to you when all you want to do is find something wrong with it?"

He's played only 21 games the last two years and hasn't surpassed 500 yard receiving. There are now 5 formidable receivers on the roster. Lee and Moncrief just got signed, so they're gonna get their time. Westbrook and Cole need playing time to develop. I think the writing is on the wall. I'd be happy to be wrong. Their is no disdain.

I think there is no way Hurns is getting cut or restructuring this year based on FA. I see guys who don't even have 1k yards in their career getting 5-7 million from the Ravens. WR aren't cheap anymore.
