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.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
