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.

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.

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

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.

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.

      Ppl want to trade Melo? Am I wrong for thinking that would be a bad idea?

      Some of you act like one can't learn from experience over time. Just because you may not know what you're doing in 2018 doesn't mean that you don't know what you're doing in 2025. Frankly, you grow from experience, and success and excellence gives first-time applicants the hand probably 99.999% of the time.

      It's an interesting topic of conversation as sports evolves. I think ultimately it would lead to a number of small market franchises folding though. Especially in the NBA where there are so many bad teams that have been bad for years and years in some cases already. But as it stands I think athlete pay draft or no draft aside has reached a point where we can and should realistically ask should they make that much compared to the average person. Now college athletes is a different conversation but even that reaches a breaking point. But we could go down the rabbit hole on this even further into overall entertainment and talk about actors making absurd sums too. In the end I think in sports the powers that be won't allow these changes to even be considered because it opens the door for so many other variables. But who knows how long sports like football will realistically be around after people like us pass on. We're only just now learning about things like CTE which the league and the sport in general will only be able to run away from for so long. As far as the NBA goes my understanding is viewership has been steadily going down for a number of reasons but one crucial aspect is key players missing so many games. The NBA has to figure that out regardless. Especially when considering fans who pay to see these athletes compete in person. But hey I guess let's just try to appreciate what we've got while it still exists in this form eh?
