Yes this is the Hunt sucks thread because he does. He's terrible. That's what this site is, to discuss the team. I don't drink the koolaid I try to assess based on what is really happening. We have done such a great job drafting in the first 2 rounds. As well as any team in the league recently. But in rounds 3-7 we have supplied very few players that are producing. I count 2 productive players, out of 19 picks in rounds 3-7 the past 3 drafts.

Yes brkmsn I think Hunt gives us very little stopping the run or rushing the QB. He plays a lot of snaps and makes almost no tackles and rarely hits the QB and he is on the field because of his 3rd round draft status and we all know Howie demands that early picks play. And what other options does Vic have? Hunt can't stop the run or get to the QB but yes he can run some and cover ok. Who else can Vic put in there? Our D line talent after the 3 Georgia guys are all border line NFL players. We talk all the time about prioritizing the tranches. Free agency hit us hard and we lost BG to retirement and Howie foolishly traded Booker. Our D line is so much weaker. Yesterday it got pushed around. You can count on DL help early next draft.

And let's not forget this play: Not only is this "intentional" grounding (call botched), but the NFL should credit defenders with the sack, IMO.

According to PFF, out of 169 edge rushers, Hunt ranks 51st in pass rush snaps played, and ranks 35th in total pressures and 35th in hurries. According to NGS, Hunt had 21 pass rushes Sunday and produced 3 pressures with an average time to pressure of 2.5 seconds. According to me, Hunt is not currently on pace to make his first Pro Bowl, but he is not "terrible" by any stretch of the imagination. He's a very young and raw player that is already a solid NFL starter. It's reasonable to expect continued growth, development and improvement moving forward.
