Until he gives Tepper a reason to be fired, keep him along. I liked his moves this offseason.

I actually do too, but considering we play the Steelers this season, I don't know how wise it is to take advice on how to run our team from them.

Said it in the other thread. Most of us didn't expect him to come in and fire everybody immediately (granted, a few did).

The question will be how he feels after he's had time to work with them directly and see how they perform during the season.

Of the 3 ownership changes this past decade 2 kept their GM a year or 2 before making a change. I believe all 3 coincided with a coaching change but they may have been unrelated coinincidences. I believe it was the Browns where Haslam almost immediately shook thinks up. The Bills and Jags kept current GM a season or two.

If the Steeler way is Hurney love this will be interesting.

I don't mind this.  Hurney did a pretty good job in his first stint at GM as well, until JR had his heart transplant.  Then we stopped signing veteran FAs, started making questionable trades and gave out big contracts in what looked like a "desperate to win now" strategy that led to the abortion of a 2010 season.  

I know we'll never really know for sure, but I think the last three GMs for our franchise were largely Hurney 1.0, Jerry Richardson, and Dave Gettleman.  And as soon as DG had some real success, JR got involved again and fired him.

Mind you, this is just me and my tin-foil hat speculating.  And always use tin, that aluminum crap doesn't block anything.

Hey, if I were competing against the Panthers, I'd give Marty Hurney glowing reviews too.

Realistically though, Marty is a pretty nice guy. The Rooneys likely know him via Richardson, so this is logical.

Seeing how he runs things up close, on the other hand...oy.

It's been discussed elsewhere that you don't have to come in and fire current personnel immediately. You can fill open positions like team president, assistant GM or whatever other title you want to create without firing a single person.

That sort of approach would make the transition easier but still keep "your people" in the right places.

So, we never replaced Danny Morrison, right? Name Omar Kahn as President of Football Operations and have Hurney report to him? Does that leave the question of what happens with Tina Becker?

That's the kind of approach I've been talking about recently (Woodie too).

Lot of people have speculated that Becker will be gone sooner rather than later.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      By frankw · Posted

      The OL has certainly been better than the trainwreck it was three or four years ago. As far as competitiveness let's apply some realism and clarity here. Quite a bit of the competitiveness in 2025 came from the defensive side of the ball which gave up the most points in league history the year before and was one of the bottom 5 units in terms of salary cap allocation for 2025 while the OL was top 3. We had the 26th passing offense last year. And if not for a herculean couple of games from Rico Dowdle we don't back our way into the division title or make the playoffs because we went 4-6 in our final ten games including being swept by the Saints who were starting a rookie 2nd round pick most of us mercilessly mocked when they selected him. In conclusion yes we've seen a difference. The question now is will the investment pay off the way we want. But the only way that happens is if we field a top 15 offense. If we can't even crack the top 20 then there need to be some very warm seats across the board. And I would hope just about anyone here should agree with that.

      These Spurs are lowkey loaded.  If healthy, they could win it all this year (#2 in the West right now). I still think we’ve gotta keep Kalk on Wemby; he’s not getting completely dominated like every other NBA center.

      Am I the only one who doesn't understand this fan bases infatuation with adding a high end TE? Especially when we have some bigger bodies in T-Mac and Coker who can slide into the slot at times and provide the big dependable target over the middle that most teams use their TE for. I mean, sure, it would be nice to have one of those elite TE's, but I feel like that's a position your better off going cheap with a committee who each bring something different to the table while spending our cap room on the more important positions. I like the potential we saw from Evans this year, Sanders could be a best if he can stay healthy, and Tremble has improved as well.  Just feels like spending high draft picks or cap space on other needs and more important positions is a better use of our resources than splashing on a TE in the draft or FA. Are those guys on the level of the Bowers or McBride's of the world?  Of course not, but we also are paying a fraction of the cost on our TE room than they are, and we're able to use that money for other needs.
