Again, it doesn't involve predicting the season.

I'll break it down this way: Marty's responsibility is building the roster. That's a big part of what makes our team good or bad. It's not everything, but it's a lot.

What I've said here is that, for better or worse, this roster belongs to Marty alone. If it includes good players from the prior GM, that doesn't matter. The roster as a whole is the only thing that counts, and it's the starting point for where we go this season.

Will it be good enough to win, or not?

No idea.

But whatever it is, it belongs to Marty. The coaching doesn't. The circumstances don't. The breaks and the adversity don't. But the roster? In as much as it's either a strength or a weakness, that's on the GM. Yeah.

Is this an unfair statement?

You have said sooo much more than that. 

Yes, that is a fair statement, but it is no where close to the over all "pledge".."challenge"..whatever thing you are trying to stir up.

My point is there are things that could happen during the season, outside of a GM's control, that can drastically effect what happens and those should not be written off/ignored.  As you are stating they should be.

The roster belongs to the GM.  But you want us to judge the GM while ignoring the things you state don't belong to him.  The coaching, the circumstances, the breaks, etc.

Actually I haven't, but I've had some things read into my statements that weren't there.

The heart of it is just that. Marty is the guy in charge of offseason roster building. If it's bad, no excuses. If it's good, no "yes, but" discrediting.

I judge the GM by the roster he builds, the coaches by how they coach it. I've said many times that you have to judge the combination overall. Right now, I'm not a big fan of either side of that combo.

Succeed or Fail this is Hurney's team.  He has had ample opportunity to remove players that don't fit our needs whether he drafted them or Gettleman.

If we go to the Super Bowl Hurney deserves the credit or if we go 0-16 he gets the blame.

IMO if Hurney got us to the Super Bowl it was inspite of DG.  Reflecting on DG job here, wasn't all that spectacular and many of his players are not on our team or not in the NFL.  We have a couple standouts but overall I think if we had kept DG around much longer our team would be filled with mediocre talent.

Gettleman only cares about hog mollies.  So that means you'd have all the money spent on molars, and your front teeth would rot out.
