The Fire Sale Theory

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.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By frankw · Posted

      We have without question one of the worst QB rooms in the league and your key concern is people having the audacity to be talking about it lol.

      I saw this list crossing the screen waiting for any Panther.  Chubba, JC Horn and Hunt.  It was a crime to see so many that were not as good as these three.  ESPN is garbage anyhow.

      Bingo!  We are on the same page.  Our scouting department was average under Hurney, but at least we hit hit it out of the park with our first rounders.  Our scouting department under Tepper's reign with his revolving doors of HCs and GMs has sucked because the scouts largely stay in place.  One or two may change every few years, but the core philosophy stays in place and I believe that to be heavily RAS influenced.    Looking the part of a football player (physical/athletic measurables) vastly outweighs putting on the tape and deep diving into his stats with our scouting department. Until we change that mindset, this team is doomed. Again, how many of us Huddlers (none of us are professional scouts) wanted McConkey over Legette? Yet, we went with XL.  Why?  RAS score, pure and simple.  If you put on the tape and look at the numbers without taking RAS into account, McConkey was the clear choice.
