In this thread I say something nice about Hurney

A lot of us know or have known someone who badly (desperately) wants to be good at something and tries really really hard, but just doesn't have what it takes.

That's Hurney as a GM. Honestly, I think that's Rivera as a head coach too.

And Jerry

I still can't say anything nice about Hurney but I can't bash him for what he's done so far either. As long as he gets our kicker situation sorted out pretty soon, we will be OK for this season. I certainly can't bash him for cutting a 31yr old 3rd string QB who hasn't attempted a pass in a regular season game since 2012, or bringing in a young QB who may or may not turn into something.

I thought signing Clay and then trading him for Seymour was a really good move. 

At minimum, Seymour is a significant upgrade over Teddy Williams. At best, he may compete well enough to displace Worley. 

You turncoat. 

I actually think that was a great move--and I hate Marty Hurney more than I loathe me some scallywags.   I also like the Kaaya move.  I mean, he is 22 and has a skill set and had a good preseason.  Anderson is in in year bye bye--so a good developmental player at QB is not a bad thing.  I think Armah to the PS was a smart move; how many teams have FBs these days? While I loved Gettlemen, Marty is not thinking like a short term interim--he is thinking beyond 2017.

    • Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.
    • The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter. 
    • Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
