I think he drafted some really good players and some busts but starting in the 2006 season he really hit a stride, whether this is him, or better scouting I have no idea;irregardless I have liked the results.

2006:

1. DeAngelo Willams (Pro-Bowler)

2. Richard Marshall

3. James Anderson

5. Jeff King

2007:

1. Jon Beason (Pro-Bowler)

2. Dwayne Jarret (So Far a bust)

2. Ryan Kalil (Pro-Bowler)

3. Charles Johnson

5. Dante Rosario

2008:

1. Johnathon Stewart

1. Jeff Otah

3. Charles Godfrey

3. Dan Connor

5. Gary Barnidge

7. Geoff Shwartz

7. Mackenzy Bernadeau

2009:

2. Everette Brown

2. Sherod Martin

4. Tony Fiametta

5. Duke Robinson

7. Captain Munnerlyn

All of these players are potential starters for the 2010-2011 who have already effectively contributed to our past successes.

Will people please stop giving all the credit to our recent draft success to Hurney? Before Don Gregory came along, we had trouble completing a full good draft.

but starting in the 2006 season he really hit a stride, whether this is him, or better scouting I have no idea;irregardless I have liked the results.

What I said in my OP....

GM's take too much blame and too much credit for drafting and FA moves.

Exactly. A good scouting Dept makes a GM look like a stud. I am sure he still had finally decision making privileges but your only as good as the info you have.

      Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.

      They will still be a playoff team but they aren't contenders anymore IMO. They won't be able to spend like they have when they went to a SB and proved he couldn't carry a win at that level with a really good team around him. Now he is going to have to do it with less to spend around him. They just locked in to being a playoff bound team that's going to be a known speed bump for whoever will represent the NFC in the SB.

      Hmm. I think he'll live up to it. Last year, about half of his team was on IR it seems, at one time or another. Year before, Super Bowl appearance. Year before that, playoff run after being third on the depth chart and being pressed into service. Is he one of the greatest in the game right now? Nope. No chance of that. Is he in the top 10 going into next season? Pretty good chance of that.  Would 20 or more teams in this league love to have the guy as their starting QB. Most likely so. He's a good QB who can implement his coach's game plan to a T and has both the confidence of and confidence in his teammates. That'll take you a long way in this league if you've got the right cast around you, and he does.
