What's Hurney thinking about? A few general answers

So he won despite Dave but couldn't do the same with Hurney?  Got it.

Snow,  I know that you are smarter than this.  When Ron took the team over, it was arguably the worst in franchise history at worst and a close second at best.  Under the circumstances that he's had,  he has done a notably outstanding job,  and the NFL has taken notice.

And who built that poo show he took over?

Jerry Richardson via Marty Hurney.

And who's still here building said poo show?

It was actually.  All he had was an inherited SS.  He never was able to build a complete wr core during his tenure.    

It wasn’t a huge need. Right now we’d take the wr depth we had in 2008

And guess who scouted and drafted Steve Smith. Know your history.

We'll see relatively shortly, assuming it's a poo show.

So now you're going to run with the excuse that it's all Jerry Richardson's fault and we can't blame Marty Hurney for anything?

Good grief, Dawg.

Even accepting that premise, there's still zero reason to pick Hurney over the other options.

No, you know your history pal.  Hurney didn't draft SS.

I've said numerous times that Hurney screwed up.  I never said that it was all Jerry Richardson's fault.  Ever man has to take responsibility for his actions, even if someone else is pulling the strings.  But,  that doesn't mean that an outsider has to judge things simplistically as opposed to analytically.

"Know your history." That's pretty funny.

Hurney wasn't GM until the year after Smith was drafted. And Jack Bushovsky was the personnel guy (even Hurney himself acknowledges that.

And let me give you a bit of actual history. When the time came receive Smith's first contract negotiation, Marty Hurney famously pissed him off by referring to him as an "unproven" (and per some comments "marginal") receiver whose primary value was on special teams.

Yeah, can't use the same excuse the Gettleman worshipers use.

Kalil? "JERRYS FAULT!"

Good post as usual, Scot. Jerry Richardson started meddling after the 2013 season. See the big contracts he gave Shepard and Kalil!!

Dawg, there is no way to look at our candidate choices "analytically" and choose Marty Hurney.

He just doesn't have what it takes, and everybody but Jerry Richardson knows it.

That's also about the time he made Gross want to retire.
