I mean, Hunt and Lewis were free agents. Not sure that counts.

And Morgan foolishly put Coker on the practice squad. We could of easily lost him so it hard to give Dan too much credit there.

Sure am glad we have all these couch potato GM’s who can declare a guy is trash a couple years into their career. Yall should apply for open positions next year.

You are correct, Hurney was the GM from 2017-2020. 

The biggest problem isn't that we aren't drafting pro bowlers it's that we aren't even drafting back up level players. We are only at 25% picks that belong on the NFL the other 75% of these picks aren't even special teams level players.

Literally couldn't do worse and that's not an exaggeration. A majority of people on this forum could select 11 out of 43 players that can make an NFL roster and wouldn't have picked a fuging long snapper in the 6th round. 

 

We also only have 15 of those 43 players from the last 5 years on the team so it's not like we need more time to evaluate 28 guys that are no longer here. 5 of that 15 is from the 2024 draft. So from 2019-2023 we have 10 guys to show for it. You cannot build depth by drafting like absolute dog poo

Whiffing on (big money) FA signings can be catastrophic, so I'd say it counts. Remember Matt Kalil?

I think most of the board wanted to draft Keon or Ladd, and Frazier in the 2nd round with our picks

We couldn't do worse than Hurney 2.0, Fittershits and Morgan.

Well it worked, he’s not the first GM doing that, so calling him out for that is really a stretch.

I enjoyed Morgan as a player for the Panthers but I loathe everything he's been a part of in the front office. We all know it starts at the top though and it appears every step Tepper takes is going to be in a pile so Morgan is just another one.

Hurney is the best GM this franchise has ever had. Perfect? No. But he knew how to hit on 1st rounders.

That's about all he did. Unfortunately there's that whole rest of the draft and roster building thing that he sucked at doing. If Hurney is the best we can do in 3 decades, that's not really something to brag about.
