Honestly, at this point I'd be more comfortable with him running this offseason just for the sake of continuity until new ownership takes over. Throwing someone in last minute who isn't familiar with the team doesn't seem like a recipe for success.

the only thing hurney’s familiar with is the view of the inside of his own ass

Keeping a terrible general manager in place for the sake of continuity when you have an opportunity to hire someone who can do a great job is the absolute height of stupidity.

Seems like common sense, Hurney wasn't good at the key things GMs need to be good at. Find late round talent and keep the cap competitive. But yet people support him since he's been around the block. poo seems crazy to me.

Atleast if a new candidate came in and did a poor job that'd be one thing. But rehashing a GM that couldn't cut the mustard the first time outside of the first and expecting him to produce drastically different results is foolish. 

If you have the 1st pick in every fuging round another player besides the qb should still be on the team 4/5 years later, point blank period.

It was selfish of JR to hold out until the end of the season to wait to sell the team. I'm afraid we'll pick a GM only to have a new owner come in next year and tear the team apart and start this all over again.

There is no doubt in my mind the new owner will replace Hurney unless the team is wildly successful...which is what Hurney is banking on.

Seems like all has been quiet on the interview front after the Fritz Pollard Alliance said that we're all clear on the Rooney Rule front. Seems pretty obvious to me that if the NFL can get Marty cleared then he's the new GM. Pretty much like we all assumed from the get-go. Hurney will almost certainly oversee free agency and the draft this year, but I'd be surprised if new ownership doesn't give him the boot soon. This sucks, but it wasn't at all unexpected.

I guess the hindsight is he will be canned by new owners.

When a new owner takes over, nobody's job is safe, and the current GM will likely get the squinty eyed look the first day.

      Dak Prescott

      By Saca312 · Posted

      Adding on to that - I know I read from some reporter that Dak Prescott's mentality is extremely fragile. Get in his head, and he loses focus and confidence. Per that reporter,  anytime a big game comes up, he starts to have the jitters and hasn't seem to overcome that slump. Dak would be an upgrade over Bryce as things currently stand. But Dak has not proven he can play in games that matters without choking. Bryce hasn't had the chance to show anything in the NFL, so nothing much to say there. But based on his history, he's done well in college in the national championship. Theoretically he should be more confident in big games if he gets to that point. For that alone, I'd rather keep rolling the dice on Bryce or set our sights higher. I wouldn't touch Dak with a 10 ft pole given his choking habits.

      The Untold Story of Xavier Leggette

      By shaq · Posted

      Same here brother, love Xavier I think he’s gonna become a quick fan favorite of the team. He already has gone viral for his country accent, we have no face of the franchise currently outside of maybe Derrick Brown in terms of media attention. I would not be surprised if in the next 4 years Xavier becomes that media darling we used to have in the 2010s with Luke, Cam, Josh Norman, CMC, etc.

      I haven't been high on any of the WRs we drafted in the past.   This kid though is someone I actually wanted. I have a feeling we finally hit big with this kid. I'm expecting him to be a DJ Moore caliber WR.
