As for the good...

Stewart at 13th overall when we already had a 1st round RB was NOT a good move. Not to mention there were better RBs at the bottom of the 1st, 2nd round and 3rd round that year.

Good points.

Hurney actually argued against trading for Olsen

I wouldn't be surprised, but do you have a link?

Cam was not Hurneys call.

Now this would be a surprise... he sounded pretty sold on Cam right after his draft day. Got a reference on this too? I'd love to read it.

Here's the most damning thing about Hurney. Since we lost to Seattle in the NFC Championship Game:

2006: 8-8 (missed playoffs)

2007: 7-9 (missed playoffs)

2008: 12-4 (lost 1st round of the playoffs)

2009: 8-8 (missed playoffs)

2010: 2-14 (missed playoffs, worst team in the league)

2011: currently 1-5 (missed playoffs, tied for 4th worst team in the league record-wise)

How many "good" GMs can you guys think of that presided over and put the players on the team that have had 5 out of the past 6 seasons be utter disappointments? We're 38-49 since 2005 and that includes a 12-5 season that makes it look better than it is.

John Fox is gone and yet the talent on the roster is even worse than it was last year on defense and special teams. How can you look at all of this and come to any conclusion other than the fact that Marty Hurney is a failure of a GM? You don't even have to list all of Hurney's specific failures like Everette Brown and resigning Jake Delhomme after the Arizona game, just looking at the records should tell the story.

Yeah, but to play devil's advocate... the HC is always going to take the blame for the record. The GM doesn't... and only when there is years of complete failure does a GM's neck be put in the noose.

      A comparison of QBs drafted #1 overall

      By KSpan · Posted

      I don't care all that much about stats. What I care about is how did he look on the field, and that was poor-to-average for everything but the second half of the GB game. Carolina was losing every game... of course there were some passing stats generated.  What is missing here is quantification of how many times these QBs showed something worthwhile justifying the #1 pick. That Manning season gets tossed out a lot, and while there were a lot of interceptions and not many wins, Manning absolutely looked like an NFL QB that just needed some seasoning to take the next step, which he did that following year. Bryce had little to none of that on an individual basis.  While this is an interesting table, it tells only a fraction of the story.

      I thought Winston was going to be a 10-15 year problem, sooo glad he went the better josh Freeman route. I mean prime Ryan, brees, and if Winston became that guy........Id hate to be a DC for Carolina.   The main deal is 1st overall pick goto the worse teams.  Looking at the list only Burrow has been able to break the loser mentally fog over those teams. Goff was reborn for the lions and you could make a case for him, but 2nd team. Luck and Cam are about the same, injuries ended great runs.  Burrow should get more MVP votes.
