i don't think that's on Hurney. I got it as he showed promise and you give him some money and he gets fat  and lazy and he admits it. We can say that with all pros we've given nice contracts too. It's like every player who does great in his "contract year" and then tanks or levels off. 

Don’t know....it’s be a very weird correlation between contracts Hurney gives out and hell even players he drafts that all of sudden become complacent and siphon the team for money, reward money, injury money, and farewell money, I was going to list examples but that’s take a while...

Thats per of the evaluation process though, and the GM is he person doing the evaluating. The Patriots, who dominated Super Bowls in the last 20 years for example cut ties very quickly, don’t give players injury and reward contracts, they’re the anti-Hurney in every sense.

Sure it’s not perfect, but it’s on the GM evaluation abilities when players constantly get paid, or injured, or go pas their prime...then all of a sudden DGAF.

Yeah, I just don't think he's very good. He's a rotational depth piece. I mean, he had six career sacks in a primarily rotational depth role when Marty Hurney decided it was a good idea to give him a 2 year $12.5M contract.

What’s to stop him from getting complacent with the Vikings now? I wouldn’t want this dude on my team

Nobody's immune to complacency. He's blessed to have another shot in the NFL. 

Exactly to the second quote. I know people want to look at these guys as super heroes lol, but they're people.

I don't truthfully know anyone that gives 100% at their job year in and year out every single day....especially when you relate it to sports where it was pretty clear we weren't going to reach our ultimate goal of a Super Bowl let alone the playoffs.

Is it right? No.  Is it human? Yes.

The only difference between him and 75% of those guys is he actually said it.

At the time the panthers were 39th in rush defense, giving up a NFL record 5.9 yards per. Weatherly was a great run defender, he was rated in the top ten if I remember right. Plus it was Burns and ??????? at DE(unless Haynes is worthy). I bet if given the chance to void the deal they would have thought long and hard after YGM fell to them in the 2nd. I believe if YGM was in this years draft, no question 1st, maybe top 16 pick given this weak class. When it was said he didnt want to keep playing after his finger injury, done I was...

Burns said plenty times - "Hes weird..." 

Seems its wasnt just bustin balls and there was a issue in the locker room. Maybe he was trying to turn the DE group into pot heads..

I get it.  I'm at the same place right now.  New COO started.  He's clearly got a mandate from on high to cut costs.  Multiple non-communicated mini-layoffs have happened.  Managing Directors that were here for 15-20 years had to re-interview for their jobs with the COO so he could decide if they're worthy (Some said F that and left).  Moral is super low and people are leaving without being replaced  (do the same with less). 

I know what I'm capable of, but have lost the spark here.  So...I have an interview lined up for Thursday that I'm really looking forward to.  Even thinking about the possibility has given me a new spark.

All that to say, I get it.

BUT!!!!  You don't say this publicly especially on social media!  Glad he intrinsically discovered this and is self-aware, but still...

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
