remind me when we can finally move on from D-Will and J-Stew?

[NanuqoftheNorth]

The last few years have given a whole new meaning to the moniker "Double Trouble".

[Marguide]

I remember when everyone was bitching about DWill's contract 2 years ago, yet few seemed to understand how much worse Stewart's was. Hurney overpaid them both, but with Stew's, he also backloaded the hell out of it. That contract has Gettleman walking around with a 100 lb. weight around his neck.

How about this for a headline next year

"Adrian Peterson caps the resurrection of his image as well as his career by winning a superbowl in carolina"

Seriously, only a back like that will get yards with our o-line

[Malt Liquor]

Marty Hurney was a horrible NFL general manager. All this money tied up into two broke down running backs.

[Kevin Greene]

In all seriousness I have no idea what Hurney was thinking with these long ass big money deals.

 

 

The cap failures were only part of it.

His trades were equal failures.

How JR sat in a coma all those years and retained Hurney is a mystery.

 

1. Carolina traded their 2009 first-round selection, and its 2008 second- and fourth-round selections to Philadelphia for its 2008 first-round selection (19th overall, Carolina selected Jeff Otah)

2. Carolina traded their 2010 first-round selection to San Francisco for a 2009 second- (43rd overall; Carolina selected Everette Brown) and fourth-round selections (111th overall; Carolina selected Mike Goodson)

3. Carolina traded their 2011 second-round selection (#33 overall!) to New England for a 2010 third- (89th overall; Carolina selected Armanti Edwards)

Feel like we are waiting for the position to be in to get a great one. 

Imagine us drafting a Todd Gurley or a Mike Davis, a speedy power back behind cam who can take heavy work loads would take poo of his shoulders a bit. Don't think we should do anything drastic as a trade or anything.. Stew and D will aren't terrible. They are pro RBs no doubt. If you have the right plays and the confidence to execute those plays with blocks and quickness. You can get your runs.

Make our strengths stronger. Dave Gettleman could drop dead before Stew is off the books. We need to get this man on a diet.

[KendrickPanther]

I just realized Double Trouble was a double entendre.

 

I don't want to be that guy but there is a man in Baltimore we are paying a lot of money not to be here and he doesn't miss time like these two cats. We could have used a guy with bad manners last night.

Except that whoever signs ap is advocating child abuse pretty much. The same with whoever signs ray rice, they are pretty much saying its okay to give your wife a pop in the mouth every now and then.

1. JStew might be the greatest guy ever, but he's never on the field. There is no way to justify that extension for a guy who can't stay healthy. It's the second worst contract on the team behind Johnson's atrocity.

2. Marty Hurney is the devil

3. Have we not learned through self identified failure and watching the league evolve over the past decade.. DO NOT draft a RB in the first round.

4. For the same reason its dumb to buy a Ferrari if you can't afford gas, a top flight back is useless with a sieve of an offensive line. invest in a line, the go get a back.

I knew they werent great contracts but holy fug lol

Not disagreeing with #4 but Bell, Peterson and Murray have been very productive behind average o-lines. Also, a good runner helps keep the line from teeing off as the Steelers were able to do on Sunday.

If those backs were redrafted in their respective drafts, all of them would be first rounders. If a running back is the BPA, Gettleman will take the BPA.

Man, with a Hardy, DWill and Stew that is a lot of salary cap not playing.
