Gettleman vs Hurney... who is the better GM

Recommended Posts

Just wondering what people are thinking. We have Gettleman who got us out of cap hell but also let Norman go for nothing and kicked Smitty out. Then you have Hurney 1.0 who sent the Panthers into years of cap hell and Hurney 2.0 who has seemed to learn from his mistakes as far as contracts but is still making questionable personnel decisions.

I don’t care much for either one of them and am hoping Tepper finally fills this position with a much needed upgrade

As far as their results with the Panthers, Gettleman.

As far as right now, it doesn't matter. Only one of them still works here.

It may have been a stupid move to fire Gettleman, but it's done, he's gone and he's never coming back. The only debate that truly matters now is between Marty and his potential replacements.

And on that front, I'll go with one of his potential replacements.

Hurney took a small market team with a bad owner and orchestrated teams that went to the Super Bowl, TWICE.  He has drafted more Hall of Famers and Pro Bowlers than nearly any general manager in league history.

Gettleman inherited a team with 9 Hurney Pro Bowlers, and made it much worse, and destroyed (possibly ended) Cam Newton's career by not protecting him.  Now as he's 2-10 in New York, a laughingstock of the entire league, loathed by all Giants fan, and routinely ranked as the worst general manager in football for all the insane decisions he's made the past 2 years. It's a regular meme on the main NFL subreddit that Gettleman is the worst manager in all of sports.  He's been an abject failure everywhere he's gone.

Gettleman has never signed a great player, never made a great trade like Greg Olsen for a third, never drafted Hall of Famers, never done anything.

But this forum bought into his scam and big talk so much they can't see the obvious truth.

And gauging from the way the Giants look, gettleman getting fired wasn't a bad call. Guy has lost it.

I still think it was. He was better here.

Lot of people up north believe that Shurmur is going to get fired and replaced by Ron Rivera. I haven't followed the Giants that closely over the last two years, but I have to admit that idea intrigues me.

I'd pay attention to see what happens if they're together again.

Two Super Bowls, right :eyeroll:

Believe what you believe, kid. But just so you know, few things look dumber than "everything Hurney did was good, everything Gettleman did was bad, and anything Gettleman accomplished must be credited to Hurney".

That's not a credible argument. It's actually highly emotional and frankly, borderline delusional.

(and I'm being kind when I say "borderline")

Gettleman came in, won Executive of the Year, then tried to strong arm the franchise.  That's what cost him.  Now he's dealing with the consequences of his rigid inflexibility.  Gettleman has "his way" which can work just as easily as it fails.  Having MVP Cam Newton helps immensely.

Team building:  I'd say it's even.  Neither has been particularly good in that regard.  Drafting?  I'd say Hurney tends to get better players who fit the team.  Gettleman did much better with FA bargain hunting.  I will say that if they could combine their powers, they'd be a pretty good GM.

Doesn't matter.

The only thing that matters now is Hurney and if he is good enough at his job to warrant yet another season with the Panthers.

I prefer to go off of 1 thing over the course of how long Marty has been here, his record.

If you are discussing small sample sizes, you have to work in injuries, abrupt retirements, lockouts, etc....when you are looking at 10+ years, it's straight to the record under his leadership, and the winning seasons are sorely lacking.

I want a better GM than either.

Lol of course you think he would be better here, even tho his record doesn't reflect that.  Makes no sense

I think it’s unfair to even say at this point. What could DG have done with those top 10 draft picks when people say Marty got us cam luke peppers etc. while Dave got us cmc with a top ten pick.

Marty is generally terrible at putting teams together. On the flip side dg botched late first round picks, gave Kalil that contract and the Norman fiasco. I was pretty adamant that dg was doing a good job not only with some of the picks and signings to create some really good teams up until 2016/2017 but he also demanded results up until that point as opposed to Marty handing out ridiculous contracts to injured/average players and having that gee golly gosh were a family mantra.

The Norman fiasco and Kalil signing were awful. We have not had one GM that could sustain success. We need a complete overhaul in organizational identity from top to bottom.
 

Tepper has a short leash with me before I just completely not give a fug about this team.

    • I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year 
    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
