Ugh....so that stupid debate over who was worse, Hurney or Gettleman has risen up again. 

It's like asking which is worse, stepping in Labrador retriever poo or dalmatian poo. 

We stepped in both and it's time to wash our feet off and move on and vow to watch where we walk from now on.

Before anyone says Chinn was all Rhule, it is noted that 2.0 fell in love with Chinn long before Rhule arrived. It is also noted that 2.0 made the call to draft Brown.

How Chinn got on Hurney's radar

Hurney: Well it's funny, because I always say when we send our area scouts in and we send (executive director of player personnel) Jeff Morrow and (director of college scouting) Eric Stokes in and they call and you can just hear it in their voices that they really like a guy. That started in September and October. Then you do the tape work and as Matt said you go to the Senior Bowl and he fit right in. You tracked him and then you go through all the post-season stuff. Everything about him just checked all the boxes. He was a guy that we liked from the first time we put eyes on him and he impressed us more and more as the process went through.

No chance. we made the playoffs 4 out of 5 season DG was here. He had some serious flaws but he also brought us one of our most successful stretches of play in team history along with a 15-1 season and SB appearance. 

He did that with players that hurney drafted...just like fitt might do now lol.

I by no means think hurney deserves to be in any type of GM HOF book. But to constantly make threads on a guy after he is gone who did draft some of the best players in team history is just weird behavior....especially if you wanted him gone for so long. We dont need to bring up Hurney everytime Fitt POTENTIALLY does a good thing.

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

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      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".

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

      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.
