I'm a Hurney supporter and think assessing talent in the NFL is tough and I think a lot of scouting teams make a lot more mistakes then us overall but lately...

2009: E. Brown - cost us a 1st and a 2nd and is now cut.

We didn't have a 1st and Peppers was unhappy with the team and left the following season. The team was desperate to get a top DE to fill the gap left by Peppers. E. Brown was a projected 1st but fell far.

2010: Once again we did not have a 1st because of E. Brown. Jake was gone and we were desperate for a QB. Hurney even said he tried to trade up because he thought Clausen would be snatched before we got a chance to get him.

He fell anyways, probably cause the kid doesn't have a strong enough arm. Now he is our 3rd string QB and will probably be let go next year.

It seems like Hurney and co. were drafting for spots the team desperately needed to fill, taking players other teams were ignoring.

I just hope Hurney has learned his lesson and is drafting the best available talent instead of picking a guy saying he will come to own this position.

It is another reason Newton, Edwards, LaFell, and McClain, need to succeed. Especially Newton.

If Hurney misses on 3 top draft choices in 3 subsequent years, the GM is going to be under a lot more scrutiny.

Brown cost us 2 picks. More importantly a #1 pick which hurney always picks right.

No he didn't we traded our 2010 1st round pick to the 49's for their second round pick. He cost us our 2010 1st round pick and that's it. God some people are slow around here.

      Answers to the QB equation

      I think that depends more on how high our pick is. If we have the 1st, 2nd or even 3rd pick i think we are drafting a QB rather than shopping FA market for a QB1. Curious if we’d be reluctant to start a rookie QB week 1 though.

      Hurney 2.0 and Fitts were so bad I don't know if it was intentional or they were that abysmally clueless. Fittershits panicked repeatedly being on the back end of positional runs while Hurney couldn't evaluate anyone outside of the 1st.  I can't figure out why Plummer still has a jersey. There's no reason. Dalton brings nothing to the table. If another QB gets cut that has given a glimmer of anything better than what we have, we should look, and that goes for every position.  I cant get over how much different this team could have been with a competent GM and having accepted the Rams offer for Burns. This franchise could have gone in a totally different direction.

      I thought tanking wasn't actually a thing and we were firmly against it though?
