Record under GM Marty Hurney by the numbers


Sam Mills Fan

Recommended Posts

Cumulative regular season/playoff record since he became the GM in 2002: 80-79 (50.3%)

Past 5 years (2006-2011): 39-51 (43.3%)

Past 3 years (2009-2011): 12-29 (29.2%)

Past 2 years (2010-2011): 4-21 (16.0%)

Worst special teams in football in the past 20 years, worst defense in the league this year, and just one torn ACL in Cam's knee from having the worst offense. A record that gets worse and worse as you go along, only 1 game above .500 under his watch even when you count the great years prior to 2006.

...And people say this guy is a good GM?

from 2008-2010 hurney did a horrible job and we're feeling the effects of it today

bad drafting, no FA acquisitions worth a poo, bad trading, etc.

Jeff Otah, Everette Brown, Jimmy Clausen. ...those were players we traded up to get and/or our first picks in a draft. When your philosophy is to build through the draft you're not going to win picking like that. If we draft Kalil or Martin in 2012 (because, well byron bell is like the worst OT ever) we'll be replacing the guy we traded up for just a few years prior, and we might have to do it because byron bell is terrible and should be a 2nd stringer in the CFL. This is how other positions that need help (e.g. the entire defense) get ignored.

He's not. He got a rookie Head coach and bet the farm on a rookie QB #1 draft pick. Always a crap shoot.

But then he picked one that can't run an NFL style offense which means we keep our running backs running out of the pistol. AWESOME!

Aj green and later draft QB = win!

Matt Moore + Steve Smith + AJ Green and better O-line = win.

Hope he can figure it out next year. Hope Cam can figure out how to run an NFL style offense. Stewart's going to be out though.

But he drafts those awesome 7th round picks that wouldn't start for any other team.

He also leads the league in drafted players retained, never mind how bad they are, they are starting and that's what matters.

Oh and those awesome FA pick ups, yup, good for 5-6 penalties per game and can't protect Cam for poo.

Don't fug with Hurney though, he may go on a tear and piss away more 1st and 2nd round picks.

I've only seen the actual pistol offense like, twice this year. You're confusing it with the zone-read option offense.

Also, having the #4 defense in the NFL has helped Andy Dalton + AJ Green a tremendous amount.

Having the 27th ranked defense has not helped Cam.

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
