What scares me most about post-2011 season and beyond?

I heard Marty on 1110AM while driving home after the game. He was almost giddy about the first half performance, as was everybody at the stadium was for good reason. Here is my concern. I think Marty Hurney looks at this team and thinks we are set at d-line. I think he looks at this team and thinks we are set at CB and safety. I have a sick feeling that Marty will look back at this season and point the blame at injuries and lack of an offseason. I think Hurney will look at Armanti's one 30 yard punt return this season and see potential. I think he is the type of guy that will view the first half tape of all our games and think we are set at many positions that need an upgrade. I do not have much confidence in Marty to see our depth, defense and special teams for what they are. I think our flashes will make Marty overlook some of our needs.

What is it with people and Marty Hurney? I've said it before, I'll say it again: he's one of the better GMs in the business, easily, when you consider the fact that every GM in the league has some bad misses. The Patriots blew it on two entire drafts, people.

Furthermore, Rivera will have a very large say in who we pick up or draft, as Hurney is one of the few GMs that actually works in tandem with his coach rather than going his own way.

We'll be fine.

Pretty sure our coaches will tell them exactly which players suck and need to ride the pine next year, thus needing an upgrade.

Captain, all of our DTs, Armanti, etc should not see an NFL field anymore.

Damn Captain looked bad.

But I think Marty stands pat at DT.

There will be a pretty proportional turnaround as far as the players on this team go.

I'd put everything I own on that fact. Rivera won't put up with this poo!

Disagree with me all you want TRD, for the most part you just like stirring the pot for no reason anyways.

After seeing his mist recent interviews, I have the utmost confidence that Rivera will do what needs to be done. One way or another

I sure as hell hope he listens to Rivera's needs. The recent influx of San Diego outcasts seems to point towards that.

I honestly believe that Rivera and Mr. Richardson have a "behind closed doors" agreement, that excludes Hurney... Maybe I'm wrong, but I just feel that it's the case.

Rivera knows the issues.....Rivera will make sure Hurney doesn't foolishly believe this DL is set.

Hurney isn't dumb either....he doesn't look at the rookie DT play or watch our #2 CB get picked on all game and think things are great.

Rivera CLEARLY knows the flaws of this team....he is a lot more upfront about what he sees each Sunday. Marty won't be able to live in la la land.

Marty did what Rivera wanted on O this year.....next year I fully expect him to follow suit and do the D next season the same way.

      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.
