How many GM's draft better than Hurney?

I’m just curious...why do you think the Panthers have been the only team interested in Hurney and why do you believe he was jobless for 4 seasons when he was fired?

Rivera was passed up 9 times as a HC but the panthers were the only team willing to give him a job. 3 winning seasons out of 9. We sure benefited from that.....

Just because nobody else was interested it doesnt necessarily mean it was good or bad hire.

Is anyone going to list of examples of GM’s who draft better? Someone who hates Hurney please just give me 5 names and let’s compare their draft classes. 

It's not just about draft classes, it's about how those draft classes fit. I am not nearly as well versed in their team dynamics as ours. But from the outside looking in without all that info..

Ravens 

9ers

Seahawks 

Patriots

Steelers 

Gettleman

I didnt sneak in anything. I think Gettleman has drafted better for 2 teams than Hurney has for the Panthers.

It's not by much, but I think he has picked players whose combined production and fit has exceeded those Hurney has selected.

5-11 and 4-12 with the Giants. He is worse than Hurney.

I'd say he's top 10 for sure. Can you list 10 GM's with a proven track record of drafting better?

I'll give you one,  John Schneider (Seahawks), now who can name 9 more?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

That explains why he didn’t get another job after being fired by JR until JR hired him again.

It's pretty simple. Richardson never wanted to fire him to start with but someone's head had to roll. Rivera or Hurney. So when Gman pissed off JR, it was the perfect time to bring him back. Any interviews with other candidates were a joke and everyone knew it. The job was always Hurney's. 

How he has kept it I dont know, but his track record has shown he cant build a consistently performing team.

Him keeping the job after new ownership is pretty telling, even with jr gift wrapping him the job the 2nd time. 
 

the second part is a separate discussion from his draft choices

He kept Ron Rivera too.

That sure worked out great, huh?

How he got a job is pretty simple. Jerry Richardson is the same idiot that promoted him to a job he wasn't qualified for in the first place (a habit of his, actually).

How he's keeping it is still up in the air. Unfortunately, the answer might turn out to be that David Tepper doesn't know what he's doing either.

So it seems like you’re dead set on whomever keeps hurney as a gm doesn’t know what they’re doing.....I mean jr fine but if tepper keeps him he doesn’t know what he’s doing, if *insert nfl owner* hires him they don’t know what they’re doing

    • I am trying to remember when I EVER said reach for need. My thing if someone falls you jump, if you can trade back a few slots and get help at the right value and pick up some ammo to move up from 51 which I think is outside the money zone, then you do that.   Take a WR later. Plenty of capable WRs have come from the 3rd round. Though this year I would go for C there if there was a reasonable choice. Take a TE if you must. I see more reason to take WR than TE. I think you give guys drafted two years ago and last year a chance to develop before cancelling them.    I think it is kind of unrealistic to throw everything all in on offense in hopes of going deep in the playoffs after an 8-10 year, even if it did have some nice bright spots in it.    And outside of this argument but relevant to it, I am bothered by Canales and Morgan and their apparent posture that we have arrived and are now in the big boy club. I don’t know where that comes from. They are out there talking like they are winners at 8-10. Backing into the playoffs in a real convoluted tie breaker scenario. They had some good games, yes. But the big feather n the cap, the LA Rams matchups, did you see what the Rams did? They didn’t fire the coaches but they fired their defensive backs. Bryce beat them yes, and it was pretty, but it was kind of like the Bucs and Mike Evans picking on our decimated secondary in 2022. Someone (Wilks) went down for allowing that to happen and they went down in LA too.  Wr aren’t as good as a whole lot of homers think we are. Shore up the trenches.    I think too many fans buy into it because they are so starved for anything that looks like a winner. 
    • How exactly does one win OROY "by default"? Wouldn't winning the award mean that of the two, McMillon stayed strong the entire year while the other guy didn't and fizzled out? That's like saying Secretariat only won by default because the other horse stopped moving midway through the race. Absolutely zero logic in that statement, which makes me very glad that I've never really paid much attention to Walterfoozball.
    • I agree, teams in the past have fired the HC in order to retain a coach on staff...hell it happened to Mcderp this year, rams in the past and Im missing another.  The fall off for the Panthers team defense was huge once Mcderp leftd and Ron could not fix it even when he named himself DC.
