So was Hurney the one that decided to cut Cam?

this might be true if it wasn't also the case that hurney has already been hated for his horrible, franchise-crippling moves for years 

That's not an argument in favor of the thesis. If anything, it's a red flag. In any event, it may be true, but I don't really care at this point. He's gone, true or not. Mistakes were made. If our coaches made them, hopefully they learned. If Hurney is primarily responsible for TB, then great, we can move on just like we moved on from him.

You Cam ball suckers make me laugh. God everything doesn't have to revolve around the man and anyone with two good eyes could tell he's done. Not even Josh McDaniels could make him a winner.

how dumb are you? everyone in this thread had said "looks like he's basically done but..."

you think we're obsessed with cam but you've been obsessed with getting rid of him for years.

Dude....you seriously think Josh McDaniels makes anyone a winner?  He has to prove to so many more people now that it wasn't Tom Brady making him look good.

McDaniels has done nothing but hinder Cam's ability to do well in NE....and I agree Cam's days as a QB1 are behind him.

Never thought about it this way but I can see it. Tepper may have wanted him to leave with Ron and dumping Cam may have been Marty's last ditch effort to turn things around. 

I can't put it all on him though even if that is true. Teddy is Joe Brady's guy and ultimately his screwup. We went into HC interviews with Cam on the roster. Tepper would have kept him if Rhule really wanted him. Everyone involved had say in the matter and came to the decision. Hurney was just doing his job coordinating it all.

There's no way Hurney decided to cut his draft pick without the new and powerful staff wanted to. It makes no sense and sounds like revisionist history. 

pretty sure marty has cut his draft picks before. remember also it's confirmed marty was making moves to save his job with 2020's performance, without regard for the team's long-term outlook, which may suggest a jettisoning of prior alliances to save his ass

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
