MARTY HURNEY FIRED

Bad Man Gone. Everyone gets Pie

I was saying that as more of a better bridge than Bridgewater, they may have scouts pounding the table for someone in next years rather than this draft.  Don't wanna get into FA, just want to embrace and celebrate this truly monumental day. Rejoice as we have finally washed the stank of mediocrity.

Rhule tells the GM the type of players he needs, the GM goes out and finds him those players

It is how it should work.  I doubt Rhule is going to be taking all of the GM's responsibilities.  

That's how I expect it to work.

Since Rhule will be in on the hiring, it's pretty likely that whoever gets the job will be fairly closely aligned to his way of thinking.

I had that same feeling, "s*#t, right before Christmas."  Then I had your same thought.  It's not like they were paying him $40k a year all these years and now he is out of work.

I'd expect the timing isn't an accident.

It happened the day after we were mathematically eliminated from the playoffs... again.

"I think sometimes you just need a restart, a refresh," Tepper said. "We did it last year on the coaching side. Maybe you could say it should have been done before on the GM side. Maybe it should have been. I'm sure people may say that, or otherwise, on both sides."

Its obviously clear Tepper is regretting firing Rivera before Hurney or probably firing Rivera at all. He's not happy with our current product and he just put Rhule on a timeline.

I doubt this is a message to Rhule. He's done a great job this year. We're way more competitive than we should be. If Teddy had any clutch in him this could be a 7-9 team. I imagine he's pleased with Rhule.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
