Didn't say you hate him - said you were hating on him. And what do you mean "need a better running threat"? Please clarify, because I know you are not saying Hunt needs to be better running the ball. That would be crazy talk.

I get what you're saying - and I agree that there is definite room for improvement. And likewise, I don't care who plays QB as long as we win. But the kid was a first-year starter in a first-year OC's system playing with a receiving corps that was borderline I-A-caliber. There wasn't a whole lot of margin for error, and when he made one things were magnified.

How many bubble screens went for negative or minimal yardage because we had a 5-10, 155 WR blocking for him? How many times was Hunt forced to scramble because nobody was open? Not saying he didn't have his shortcomings also, but the lack of offense was based on a number of factors not just him.

Funderburk will hopefully get some run in the bowl game and be a starter on the outside next year. Broyld and Estime are two guys who are weapons. I like what I've seen from Cornelius, who is a RS FR. Parris is developing nicely at TE. And there's an influx of talent at the WR position (Williams, Cooper, Ishmael (?), Custis) and at the TE position (Batten, Provo) to help with depth and playmaking.

Add to that Morris, McFarlane and Gulley (maybe Smith but I doubt it), and you have many more playmakers next year than you did this year (or in recent memory to be honest). And much more help for Hunt.
