Jake Delhomme as a GM

[Mr. Scot]

Let's be clear up front. I'm not saying that we should consider Jake Delhomme for the GM position.

I'm saying that you could make an argument we already have him.

Here's a group of statements that you could make about Jake Delhomme that could apply just as easily to Marty Hurney:

- Capable of making moves that leave fans saying "How the heck did he pull that off?"

- Equally capable of making moves that cause fans to say "What the @&%$ was he thinking?"

- Known as much for character as for ability; very well-spoken in interviews and segments

- Seemingly teflon, always managing to escape the consequences of big mistakes

- Never one to place blame on anyone else but himself, even when the mistakes may not actually have been his

- Not flashy, not big money, but still willing to take risks and gamble

- Extremely loyal to the organization, and sees that loyalty rewarded

It almost makes it easier to understand why Hurney held on to Delhomme for longer than he should have.

When you look at the way they do their jobs and go about their business, they're essentially the same guy.

And?

As many dumb mistakes as Jake made, he still didn't trade the 33rd pick for AE.

[Mr. Scot]

And?

And are you content with that?

I like Hurney, but I don't really see him ever becoming one of the great personnel men of the league. I think he'll always be good, but like Delhomme, the ceiling may stop there.

Jerry Richardson seems comfortable with that.

Are you?

Mr. Scot is bored.

[The Saltman]

I guess you are saying delhomme as a qb is the same as hurney as a gm? If so in all reality hurney isn't going anywhere. So its a moot point.

Cam butthurt is butthurt.

well, we all know what eventually happened to Jake....eventually the INTs did catch up to him. I think Hurney's time could very well be coming......even if he hits on Cam (I think his other picks could prove to be costly).

If he hits on cam hurney will retire here.

[CRA]

If he hits on cam hurney will retire here.

hitting on guys in the 1st round has never impressed me.....

Hurney has always hit on guys int he 1st round....it is 2-7 where he falls apart. Teams are built in rounds 2-7.
