What if Marty Hurney


Recommended Posts

Im hoping Marty Hirney transformed and learned from his past mistakes    To make a hell of a football life doc

 

I think the new owners will keep the Cam/Rivera/Marty regime intact until its clear that a rebuild is needed. No infusing football decision makers just to do it. Perhaps replace top front office guys but none of the football guys.

depends, if this team goes to say the nfccg it would be foolish to fire him. if he drills at least 2 of the picks and they become stars you cant really remove him unless his fa blow up. he looks good so far, i would wait until he has a giant fug up if he does. he looks like a top 10 gm so far tbh.

As much as I can’t stand Hurney, it really does look like he mostly nailed his draft. There’s a couple picks I would have really liked to have seen gone a different way (like Harrison instead of gauldin) but this is the best I’ve felt right after a Hurney draft ever. The conundrum is whether we want to wait and see if he fugs it all up again (highly likely if he sticks around) or have blind faith that he magically became a competent GM. If he did pull of that transformation, it would be nothing short of a miracle.

I would hope everyone changes and grows over time. That is an essential part of maturing. The changes likely reflect better scouting and input from the team he assembled. He didn't do it in a vacuum.

He did say he learned from his mistakes.   I can't help also believing JR had something to do with our CAP Hell he put us in a couple of years back.

JR did cause by dumping all the vets after 2009 and going youth in 2010 in prep for a long night holdout which didn't happen. Then we were do bad in 2010 that fans has no confidence we wanted to win and field a competitive team. So to instill faith we grossly overpaid Johnson and Williams and Stewart to demonstrate our commitment. Hurney made mistakes but JR was at the root of it.

Time will tell .  If this draft turns out to be very good and he can do reasonable contracts , he will stay until Rivera is let go and a total rebuild is needed .   i look forward to training camp to see how this pans out . Most analyst give him a B or better this draft .

Of course JR had something to do with that, all the people putting that completely on hurney are just turning a blind eye.

    • Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was. 
    • I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
    • Yea Bryce was definitely a top half qb the second half of last season but I'm not sure Canales is 100% sold on him.  Like I've said in another post I think that's part of why we talked to so many South Carolina players in the draft process.  I think they are doing early due diligence on Sellers just in case.
