Why I hope Hurney Stays

[DickolausJ]

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.

That 08 draft could potentially be one of the best in a long time

Although Hurney may not deserve ALL the credit

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.

[Argus Plexus]

Wow, I thought Gary Barnidge was a rookie last year. Huh, he must've been in the Foxy Purgatory in 2008.

yeah sure after 5-6 trys he finally got it and it was just a coincidence we got Gregory at that same time

[Kurb]

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

[joemac]

Goddamnit, PLEASE stop saying irregardless!!!!! That is like 6th grade English.

Most Definatly.

I understood you the first time KillerKats; as I said in my OP, whether its better scouting or Hurney himself. I DIDN'T KNOW

Who gets the credit for bringing in Gregory?

Who gets the credit for bringing in Gregory?

Yep thats one area Hurney has really improved on, staff hirings. Of course who knows how involved JR is on that one.

[OneBadassCat]

Hurney is great I hope he stays for a long time.

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.
