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.

    • I can only imagine the **** eating grins on the committee right now. "Oh, Bama didn't deserve it? Oh, Miami didn't deserve it? Suck it, haters!" lol
    • To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset. 
    • To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…
