I had hopes for guys like Matt Jones, Mike Thomas, Sims-Walker, Reggie Williams, Troy Williamson, Troy Edwards, John Brussard, etc..

They could never get 1000 yards. We had a bunch of 700 and 800 yard guys. Then Blackmon was drafted and we were all so happy to finally have that missing piece. Then he drops off Earth.

Then along comes this guy out of Penn State, Allen Robinson who became the first player in almost an eternity to bust the 1000 yard mark. Then Hurns comes along and breaks 1000 yards in the same year. And I was like.....finally.

Then Arob goes down after an innocent 17 yard gain in week 1. And the first thing I said was "atleast we still got Hurns"

Because he is proven.

I agree the your guys are stepping up but they haven't done it long enough for me to hang my hat on them. Playoffs mean better defenses. And Hurns has been around long enough that I know we can count on him.

I personally wouldn't cut Hurns at all. We have plenty of cap space. We're currently running on fumes at the WR spot, now that Lee has went down.

And Lee has shown he is not reliable. But I respect your opinion.

I'm definitely not disagreeing with anything you said. Hurns is gritty, reliable, consistent and a great route runner. The issue here is money. We are going to pay a QB next year whether it's Blake or another QB. Dareus gonna get his money. The young defenders are going to get paid soon. ARob is going to get paid.

I would love to be able to keep Yannick, Fowler, Jack, Ramsey, Colvin, ARob and many others but there is not enough money to go around. Maybe Hurns takes a pay cut or maybe he plays out his contract. Who knows. I know I love Hurns but money is going to be tight at some point.
