We knew it at the time, hell no.

Don't sign a player to another deal when they haven't earned it. Shaq's was based on projection and not production and Boston is worth a one year deal because he is a hole filler and not a long-term contributor (hence why he hasn't had a multiyear deal until this one since he left on his first contract). 

Bad teams make bad decisions and that is what all of this is.

Yep, Shaq was signed to be the player we always hoped he would become not for the player has had so far proven to be. At least it's a decently structured deal that we can bail on after two seasons, granted Hurney isn't around to inevitably restructure it when he should he cutting bait

No. I also think the McCaffrey contract was a mistake. However, if viewed from the standpoint of Hurney these moves made sense.I believe Hurney is in the last  year of his contract. He desperately wants to show improvement upon which a new contract could be justified. Therefore, in a sense, these mistakes rest on Tepper's shoulders. After all, he implicitly approved of this situation and was probably involved explicitly in many of these decisions.

I confess to being very disappointed. I really hoped that Tepper would engender more data driven decisions. I really do not think data was driving these decisions. Many of these decisions seemed driven by public relations and/or desperation.

Also, I'm calling it now: CMC contract gonna look bad in a few years. RBs never last long and we have a tendency to drive players to the dirt.

 

Plenty of people said that at the time too(I was one). In hindsight, they did actually have the length about right for a player like CMC. If injuries start robbing significant time(which they have now), then it will obviously look much, much worse.

      He's handing off play calling duties to fuging Brad Idzik as well so, either that mouth breather can run the playbook and Canales can grow as an all around head coach or it will be a horrible decision and both of them and BY can screw off. I'm fine with that as long as it isn't just another excuse for BY to get another year with another coach worthy of working around his limitations as a qb.

      Not only for Andersen but the whole team, having not beat the Habs this season before tonite.  Shows them that they aren't jinxed.

      I understand why people say things like it could be worse in relation to Tepper but it just doesn't jive for me. Are the optics bad? Yes. Would I want her to be the owner of my team? No. But I mean she's only been owner for a year and the Colts overall are a better run organization. As far as I know they've also never had the distinction of having the worst win percentage in all of professional sports either. Tepper has owned this team for 8 years and about the only thing that has been consistent has been the ability to continue to find different ways to achieve new lows. Even now people are saying things are different yada yada but we said these same things at certain points under Rhule Fitterer and Reich. I'm going to wait to see how the rubber meets the road this upcoming season before I make any strong conclusions about anything in relation to the longevity under this franchise going forward.
