Hurney was smart to trade for Torrey Smith

Smith isn't something fun for fans to brag about. 

But Smith fits a role we clearly lacked.  We have seen before how important it is for this offense to have someone who can step into that role is and what it means.  Think back about the first time Ginn Jr was brought in.  People didn't celebrate it either.   Smith can run those deep routes and threaten.  Cam has proven he doesn't need all stars but just a well rounded group that can threaten teams in a well rounded manner. 

Solid move, just not a spectacular one.   Solid moves often are the most important ones.  But we need more of them.

Looking at the money receivers are getting, I find it unlikely Smith would have been gotten for 5 mill a year with no guaranteed money. Seems like a bargain given that Worley may not have even made the team this year. 

I mentioned this earlier, absolutely agree.

each iteration of Hurney gets better,  Can we fire him again so we get to Hurney 3.0 and close to a normal GM?

The normal gm doesn’t make it to the NFC Championship twice.

Hurney 2.0 is greater than version 1. Engineered to be the best.

    • I don't think working from memory is going to be very productive or useful. You would need to compare them all, which is far easier to do from the breakdowns of each game. That has tiered charts that give real data.  But, even then that wouldn't substitute for a trained eye(s) doing detailed film analysis to attempt to determine if we are modifying the offense dramatically for Bryce.
    • I think front office and general team culture under new ownership is sort of on the right track. The rookies all look incredible compared to where you'd expect each one of them to be right now. Lee's in game coaching is awful, he might be ok as a culture and developmental guy but that can't outweigh the in-game miscues and bad game plans. If LaMelo can't figure out the ankles then I think you gotta trade him for a haul, can't keep having your seasons lost every year because he can't stay on the court. And I say that as a big fan of him. Miller I think is unlucky, he looks likely to be an elite core player for us, but if he can't put together a stretch of healthy seasons he would trend towards LaMelo and need to be moved. I used to like Miles on the court a lot more but nowadays he's just an empty stat guy who needs to go. The short lived hot start to the season was fun but unless LaMelo and Miller both get and stay healthy within the next few weeks I can't even see us being a play-in team this year. And even if they do get healthy, we're probably looking at play-in at best, maybe barely compete for that fringe 6th seed.
