There is more to his firing than just the draft, if he signed off on bridgewater than that alone is a fireable offense  

Why?

Bridgewater is NOWHERE near as bad as people make out and he's on an affordable two year contract. You don't fire a GM over that.

Tepper has publicly stated that one of the reasons Marty isn't here anymore is because he didn't "align" with Matt Rhule very well. He's also mentioned that Marty was very old school and resistant to new processes that the team wanted to implement.

It's not hard to look at those statements and figure that Marty wasn't comfortable with Matt Rhule having as much power as he did.

Hurney was basically King of Everything under Jerry Richardson, and per his own words, he liked it that way. Being part of a power structure rather than being at the top of it probably didn't sit well with him.

Thus, he's now no longer involved in it at all.

I'm trying to find the exact quote, but I remember some months back Matt Rhule said something like he'd just as soon work with Marty Hurney as anybody.

I guess that one goes under the same category as "I can't wait to work with Cam Newton" and "(player we're about to cut) is doing a fine job".

Just listened to the Tepper presser on releasing Hurney. 

When asked about his differences with Hurney, he stated that they have different approaches to evaluation. For example, how does a player perform in the 4th quarter or on 2 minute drives.

Does anyone else feel like this is a clear shot at Hurney's evaluation of Teddy Bridgewater?

    • Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?
    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
