No compensatory picks

I guess getting that 3rd round pick for KB wasn't a bad move by GM Hurney.

Not only did we give Russell Shepard the contract we should've given Ted Ginn, but by giving him that contract we ensured ourselves that we wouldn't get a comp pick for Ginn either.

Just absolutely awesome all the way around.

But they do not have W-L-T Draft Picks in the standings.  When Funchess got hurt at the end of the season, we had nothing.  Season over--because he traded away the #1 WR DURING A PLAYOFF RUN.

I like the trade, personally, but the timing is important.  We got nothing for a serviceable player--the move weakened our team during the season.  There is no way around it---it was dumb and Hurney was just trying to show folks that he is legit---he always puts himself before team, which is why he sucks.

Letting Ginn walk to a Division rival and replacing him with Russell Shepard was moronic on Gettleman’s part. That and the J-No saga should remind all of us DG was not without his faults 

JNo sowed his own demise. Actually his agent did. Gettleman was a business man.

True, but to be fair you don't get to chose the destination of the player you decide to move on from.

    • Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.  
    • I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us. 
    • From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
