The Fire Sale Theory


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

So a while back, I posted a question in the All Pro section that it's probably appropriate to discuss here as well. 

The premise: Hurney is not going to be an "interim" GM. He's here to stay.

On the coaching front, you have Rivera, a guy who believes that any and all blame for lost games falls on the players. 

So with those things in mind, a question:

Are we set up to see a "fire sale" this offseason, with Hurney and Rivera dumping players (in all probability, mostly Gettleman pickups) to reshape the roster in their own image? 

I was only about 50% sold on the idea myself.

After today though...

Maybe at the bottom of the roster but for the most part No. 

Infact, if it was left to Hurney, Tre Boston would still be our starting safety.

Kurt- safe

Adams- gone

Thompson - I could see this being a suprise Hurney move.

Star - maybe

Norwell- Safe

Williams- Safe

Matt Kalil - Gone after next season

Butler- Traded for 5th 

Cb's - Safe

Etc ... maybe a couple moves.

We still have the same scouting department from when Hurney orginally left. The only time I really think he hit the "GM choice" was the '16 draft

Idunno, I'm still shocked we let KB go for basically a 3rd.  Wasn't the 7th, basically the same pick we gave them in the Clay-Seymour trade?

Also, I am still holding out hope that JR isn't dumb enough to let him get the full time gig..  but I wouldn't be suprised in the least.

Scouting department has actually seen its fair share of changes, biggest of which was likely the departure of Ryan Cowden. 

Likewise, Don Gregory is no longer chief of college scouting, and Mark Koncz was fired shortly after being promoted from pro scouting.

    • It’s wild to me that so many of you guys are threatened by the idea of an opposing team fan who is polite in 2025. He’s been posting here on and off for years, usually when our teams play each other which hasn’t been for a while. I’d maybe understand this treatment if it was a falcons or saints fan, but packers fans in general are one of the nicer fan bases as long as you aren’t another NFC north team (especially the bears).   
    • Some players excel on the big stage, while others freeze and succumb to the pressure. I’m not convinced Cam took a dive. I think he didn’t handle the stage very well. The pressure got to him and he folded. He wouldn’t be the first quarterback or player to struggle in a Super Bowl. Two HOF examples - John Elway and Jim Kelly. The 2002 MVP, Rich Gannon, threw 5 interceptions against the Bucs. Poor performances happen.  Unless of course you believe all these players threw the games they played in, but if that occurred, surely someone by now would have admitted taking a dive? 🤷‍♂️
    • It was always a matter of time with Cam’s playing style and a shorter shelf life than passers that protect themselves. I suppose Cam could have still been playing in 2028 ten years after the hit took place, but he would need to have evolved as a quarterback and become more of a passer than the dual threat maestro he was. It’s sad because it makes us think of what could have been, but I do feel it was always a matter of time until all the hits took their toll.
