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 definitely a historical issue at QB but to be perfectly blunt, we also don't do a good job of really developing almost any position if you look at the last decade or so. I tend to be on the side of that being far less a development issue than an evaluation deficiency.  I think we are in the situation at QB2/3 recently due to the overall roster being absolutely abhorrent and the QB classes being quite thin. It is harder to justify another Matt Corral(or several) when you can potentially get a real two deep contributor at other positions.  But, it was a lot of hard work to get to the point where are roster is so incredibly bad that luxury picks literally are not in our vocabulary.  This is the reaping what you sow portion of our history.
    • That is what I meant about our front office. They are like someone filling out a March Madness bracket based on preference of uniform colors and mascots. There's no rhyme of reason to some of these fugg'n mind numbing decisions they make.  They go all in on these flimsy-@ss prospects and are gun shy when it comes to more solid prospects.  It's literally maddening and the reason I stopped being so emotionally involved in this team. Heck the only reason I'm active on the board today is one, it's my day off and two, it's cut down time.
