Argue Hurney’s case


mc52beast

Recommended Posts

I see a lot of people want Rivera gone, and I can’t really argue against it. But why isn’t Hurney getting equal treatment? Yes he had a decent draft but he neglected depth at several positions and made some very questionable moves. 

If you want Hurney to stay, explain why he should.

there’s no argument needed, if Rivera goes then he should follow even though he’s done a decent job. Mainly because Rivera should go and we don’t trust hurney with hiring the new coach, at least I don’t. As far as roster building, the guy did the best he could given resources and circumstances. I can only really point to three mistakes made since hurney was rehired, Gano over Butker, Galuden over some of the safety’s still on the board at the time, and not releasing Ryan kalil for some extra cap room.

Lets see

Big $$$ Gano

Addressed Safety need with some scrub who was projected a 5th tops and grabbing him in the 3rd.  Searcy (guess he thought, "another mans trash will be another mans treasure"?)

Poe- despite our own rivals warning us

No backup QB

No RB2

 

 

 

 

What all did he do positive again?

I think Hurney is closer to the door than Rivera, if for no other reason than he is part of the previous ownership.  It is not at all unusual, and perhaps closer to the norm for new ownership (of any organization) to want people they are familiar with and believe they can rely on it the top positions.  So Hurney’s fate may have been sealed with the ink dried on the sale of the team, but the timing did not permit Tepper to make those types of changes when he took over (unless he was going to be a Jerry Jones, and even Jones has stated he regretted not waiting).

Let’s face it, Hurney is not going to be mentioned with George Young, Bobby Beathard, or Tex Schramm so he doesn’t have that upside to give a new owner a pause.

The case for him is that he did okay in the draft last year.  But it may have been an accident.

Through two gm’s the main problems remain the same, so that tells me ron is the bigger issue. Either that or the rare chance both gms haven’t put Ron in position to win consistently 

Getts wasn’t bad. And he took us out of cap hell, that Hurney put us in. Anyone that thinks he was a bad GM is laughable.

The guy was fired after being the worst GM in all of football.

Was brought back in by his buddy who was the owner

Because the owner fired the other GM who he didnt like the week or 2 heading in to training camp.  When you Dont want to be firing a GM.

 

Stayed with the team that season as the poo came up with Jerry.  Tep wasnt going to come right in a make a mistake like Jerry and fire a GM right before the season.  He was going ti let him play it out and show his worth.  Buuuuut he. Still hasnt shown crap to be retained

    • You're assuming just as well.   Morgan and Canales were hired 3 days apart.  I believe it was partially due to their connections in Seattle.  i believe Tepper wanted some familiarity with his GM and HC.  It is so easy to sit back and arm-chair QB over draft picks.  You don't know what the philosophy was going into the 2024 draft.  I believe Canales and Morgan were drafting for the future.  XL and Brooks point to that philosophy. Name me one GM that is 100% on draft picks.  Just one.  You're not going to find one.    I think year one picks weren't for what can you do for me now but Potential.   XL hasn't lived up to the hype of a 1st rounder.  I think we all can agree on that. However, there still is hope he comes around.  What I believe they saw in him was his speed after the catch.  He needs to get more consistent but when he gets the ball you kind of hold your breath just a second because if he gets free, he's gone.  The Brooks pick was a signing for the future, and no one could have guessed he would re-injure the same ACL.  This makes the pick look bad but Dallas was ready to draft him later that same round.  IMO we'll have to see what happens next season before we can call this a bust. Wallace has improved each season and for a third rounder has done well.  Sanders has shown flashes and considering the pick in the 4th round it wasn't a bad pick.  His sophomore season IMO was a little bit more productive.  Smith-Wade has been a good addition and has played well.  For a 5th round pick to get as much playing time as he has.  Most picks below round 3 should take a couple of years to get up to speed.  He's been a decent player.  Crumedy, no comment We turned Barrett into Jackson.  This was an amazing move and basically got a starting CB for a 7th round pick.  Pretty shrewd if you ask me. Coker, maybe the best Free Agent signing of the 2024 draft class. So, in short, you can't say that the draft was a bust.  It isn't a home run but all but one are still on the team and outside of Brooks have made contributions to wins.  2025 draft class has been much better with almost every pick making contributions this season.  Now take Fitterer's two years and compare them to Morgan and tell me that they have the same philosophy. 
    • He hasn’t led crap, he’s on loaded teams and a piece of the puzzle. And he’s he has improved drastically but it took the ultimate QB whispers in Shanahan and KOC. You put him on this Panther team and he’s back to normal Darnold 
    • Slavin and Jarvis week to week. Florida cheap shots took out our two best players.  I’d start KK so he can beat the brakes off someone.
