Remember when people laughed at the idea that Hurney was a better GM than Fitt?

Not nearly as funny anymore. 

Hasn't been funny for years.

 

Hurney's track record of first rounders was so good and we're sorely missing it now

Nah, it's still funny.

That said, Hurney didn't sabotage his own head coach,.so there's that.

While Hurney was no savant, he was a better GM and built better teams than Fit has. And Hurney could make trades that benefited us. Fitterer is the kind of guy that has salesmen falling all over themselves to get to him first at the car lot. He's a total rube, a mark, a sucker.

And believe me, there are soooo many better options out there than either of those guys. How could we not have stumbled across one by accident even???

Hurney was here a lot longer and did over a decade worth of damage. I'd add that hitting on first rounders is a lot easier when the sh-tty roster you built last year keeps getting you high draft picks.

He also had no accountability. It was well known that he was GM for life as long as Richardson was in charge. If not for the jeans day scandal he'd likely have been here right up till Richardson passed.

One of the biggest things you have to remember though is he was a big part of why we ended up with Matt Rhule.

The immense damage Rhule did is partially Hurney's fault, and that tips the scales for me.

Ownership.

Richardson believed in Hurney. Hell, he even fired a guy with a much better record so he could bring him back.

Tepper waited too long to fire Hurney then forced his next hire to work under Rhule.

It’s like people forget that Marty was here before Matt and Matt was here before Scott.

Keeping Marty was the first domino.

We didn't "repeatedly get high draft picks". 7-9 was our floor for most of Hurney's tenure. Three of our best picks, Chris Gamble Jon Beason and DeAngelo Williams, were late first-rounders.

Hasn't been easy for Fitterer.  Hurney wasn't a good GM, but he did much better than Fitterer.

Hurney at least had an eye for talent. He was about as boom or bust as it got. His hits were home runs. His whiffs were catastrophic.

    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
    • Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?
