Hurney meeting with JR today


Captain Morgan

Recommended Posts

I hated Hurney...but it is hard to ignore the fact that he drafted the team's biggest superstars, many of which Gettleman and Rivera won games with the past several seasons.  

That being said, he also made some very, very stupid mistakes.

Never underestimate the power of a Hurney contract to completely paralyze a team after its blown up

Hurney did hand out some very bad contracts...but most of them came after the lockout during a period when the media was criticizing Jerry Richardson as being cheap.  As soon as the lockout was lifted, the deals for Stewart, Deangelo, Johnson, and others were made.

Then we were able to draft Cam! Why were we able?

Those biggest super stars were results from super high draft picks from him driving the team into the ground.

 

I don't give him credit for drafting a super star with the FIRST pick in a draft where 80% of the top 10 in that draft will be in the hall

 

And the #33 pick was traded the year prior for Armanti

Because we weren't winning.  And your point?  

Look, I hated Hurney.  But he took us to a superbowl too, remember?  All I am saying is that some of his bad contracts should have an asterisk.  Now his drafting ability in mid to late rounds has always been horrible.

Hurney only had the top pick one time...once.

He had a top 10 pick only twice...in 10 years.  Want to try again?
