Hurney drafted or acquired Cam, Luke, Kalil, Davis, Olsen and CJ. All six of our captains and the core of the team. Did he make some really bad decisions? Absolutely, but to act like he was a completely inept moron is revisionist history and silly. I'm actually convinced half the fan base thinks Gettleman drafted Luke.

Jimmy Clausen actually completed some really nice passes too.

Beyond the first round, Hurney was generally pretty bad.  Credit him for Cam?  Cool. Now go back and look at everybody drafted that year after Cam. It ain't a pretty picture.

Heck, if you wanna really cry, take a look at some of the names he could have had. And let's not forget he almost traded away the pick that got us Cam because he was chasing Clausen.

Besides the draft, there's the matter of managing the team. Hurney was awful at that part of the job. That's how we ended up 16 million over the cap with a terrible roster.

Did Hurney have good moves? Sure, same as Charles Godfrey sometimes made good plays. But you don't keep a guy with a poor body of work just because he makes an occasional highlight reel.

I was listening to Hurney's radio show a couple of months back and the topic of RB contracts came up. He starting talking about it, then there was silence for a brief moment. He said he was moving away from a window at the radio station presumably so no one could get a clear shot at him. : )

Why the fug would the bears trade the only player they can build around 

Just speculating but contract dispute maybe? No new deal or extension, unrestricted free agent at year end and he may want the fug off that sinking ship to get to a better situation. Better to get something than nothing for him.  

If I was Alshon playing with no contract, I would be more worried about staying healthy than giving it my all on a team with no hope. I'm sure the situation there has to be somewhat tense between him and the team at the moment.

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By strato · Posted

      I agree.  I don’t think I have ever been accused of being a Howell fan. No more than fan of some other random QB.   But I watched and I saw. He has some talent. Maybe I didn’t watch close enough to see his weaknesses.

      We signed Lloyd

      By strato · Posted

      He is a pit bull when it comes to that.  And after he missed out last year on Williams, it seems he is trying a different approach, looks like. Don’t hold back. No half measures, because someone will come and full measure your ass. Close the deal. He left a little opening for The Patriots last year.  He closed so far this year. Of what we know about.

      Steelers sign RB Rico Dowdle

      By strato · Posted

      They have been doing the mercenary one year RB now for a little while. Foreman..  It works pretty well. You can find ball carriers. The passing game trips a lot of those guys up. Pass blocking, route running, they have a lot to know.    Rico wasn’t a great pass blocker but he got in the way most of the time. He is a really good pass catcher.     He’s tough. Needs to find out why he was cramping late in the games. If he can fix that maybe can step up even more. Wish him luck. I think he’ll do well.    If Brooks can be something, what a bonus that would be at this point.  I really believe they went for him because of his extra layer with being a good receiver. And we need more of that with what we are working with trying to move the ball.
