Hurney almost got us Herbert

[t96]

Hurney wanted us to trade up for Herbert, which was in line with what our scouts wanted. Rhule and Tepper said no, ultimately these types of disagreements led to Hurney's ouster a couple years later and Fitts being hired. I never in a million fuging years thought I'd see the day where I'd say this, but I truly miss Hurney. It's gotten that bad that what looked like the worst mistake of Tepper's career as owner (keeping Hurney) may honestly be his least bad move so far. At the very least Hurney NEVER missed on a 1st round pick, the worst probably being Otah who was a stud just had injuries derail his career. Meanwhile DG and Fitts can't pick a halfway decent player in the 1st round to save their lives.

I am PERFECTLY fine hiring Hurney as a First Round consultant with Morgan as the GM.

Round 1 hurney was a fuging legend, send em home after round one and we would be a dynasty.

Hurneys problem was loyalty and overpaying. But he was great with the draft.

Bruh, Getts drafted Starr, Shaq and CMC, two were decent to good and the other is elite. He may have been an ass but we had the most success while he was GM (3 winning records,4 playoffs in 5 seasons)

Hurney is the GOATed first round drafter though. I will not argue that. It's everything else he sucked at and why we only had 3 winning seasons when he was the GM (out of 15).

I have no defense for Fitts at the moment.

So Hurney was the best at drafting top level talent in the first round while putting together overall dogshit rosters, Gettleman drafted semi-ok but put together solid rosters, but was a bonafide asshole, and then we have Scott Fitterer in the corner eating paint chips.

Source? Or just made up? We won a crucial matchup vs Washington late in the season didn't we that put us one spot behind the Chargers. That's sick.

I've been scolding this forum for years for constantly pissing and moaning about our GMs.  Hate to break it to you, but the mess we are in right now is not on Fitterer.  I think he's done a wonderful job of building a very competitive roster talent wise.

Tepper blew it with the Bryce Young pick.  Simple as that.  Dude is Jerry Jones 2.0

I know this has been tossed around for years here but never saw where it was actually reported.

Herbert puts up good stats but has been around 500 as far as winning goes.  I'm not sure he would have been the savior some people think he is.

The thing with Hurney is his FA signings were mediocre, and he did overpay for vets. But his first-round picks were almost always absolute game changers - franchise cornerstones that make up for any other mistakes. We've now lost that edge and our late round picks are somehow even worse than before, and so we never get those rebound seasons we always had.

Rivera was trying to tank. No one will ever convince me otherwise. There's no other explanation for playing Haskins as bad as he was, then cutting him right after the game. He just got out tanked by Peterson in Philly.
