patience. This weekend we make our moves

Agree. I have thought for awhile now that Hurney and the scouting department already have their list of who they want to bring in, not just at CB but other positions as well.

This strategy carries risks, as the players they want may not come available, forcing us into the unenviable position of needing to make a trade, i.e. with the Eagles.

But rest assured they aren't just sitting on their hands doing nothing. Hurney is smarter than that.

Well in my opinion a talented player seeing the field for 13 games a year or so is better than having a less talented player play all of them.. I mean that's just the way I see it..Hayden's a decent CB, who also had one thing only one other CB on our roster has-size. Take out Gamble and we've got the Midget Patrol at the CB position. Not that I don't think Cap is a good CB, I just think he's better suited in the Nickel. I don't want to have to find out the hard way he ain't cut out for the starting job.

you'll have to take all of that up with Hurney.. I think him being injury prone and just an average CB says quite a bit after only 1 team out of 50 gave him a big 1 year contract..

just sayin.. ;)

with all that said, I don't think it's a dumb idea to wait and see what better options are available.. especially any younger talent with more upside.. when you talked with Hayden, are you sure he said he didn't want to sign with us for 1 year? (I kid..)

Hurney is an idiot. That's obvious. The problem is, it was said yesterday that hurney was smarter than every poster on this board. We're freaking really dumb.

yeah, because you sure just proved us wrong! lol

no doubt Hurney makes questionable decisions.. fans expect perfection. curious where that idea ever came from, besides armchair GMs..

Hurney may not bring any F/A 's in !

Yeah posters want this guy or that guy

But Rivera is in his 1st season as a teaching coach with hand picked teaching coaches,he may want to teach what he has.

The expectation bar will never be as low as it is now .

Rivera needs to win more than 2 games to improve the team

And ever season after he will need to win more games to show improvement

So the plan could be teach what you have ,win 3 games ,and get a top 10 pick next draft.

Will not help ticket sales or give fans that 1 season turn around

But could establish a very solid and young Rivera team

While giving a full season of deciding which FOX players will not fit Rivera's system.

I was listening to Gil Brandt on NFL network tonight and he was talking about the Panthers. He was talking about Clausen not being starter material in the NFL but the germaine part to this discussion was that he said Hurney over the last 5 years has drafted more players who are starting for us than any team in the NFL. Whe it comes to stats he usually knows more than most so I would believe him. But it belies the fact that Hurney makes poor drafting decisions and attests to the fact that he sticks to his philosophy to build through the draft. It pays off most of the time. Maybe he isn't going to bring anyone in at CB but go with who we have. After all what will a slightly better CB give us, 1 more win. We aren't talking Revis here but a guy few others even wanted to pick up.
