The Best/worst Of Marty Hurney

Recommended Posts

I see so much frustration towards Marty Hurney on this board...seems to be a polarizing figure of the team. I think he's done a pretty good job evaluating talent over the years but he has definitely made some serious blunders...here's the best and worst moves he's made in my opinion.

Best:

#1: Drafting Cam Newton

#2: The trade back with the Jets in the 2007 draft that netted Jon Beason and Ryan Kalil.

#3: Signing Jake Delhomme

Worst:

#1: Trading away a first round draft pick in the 2010 draft for Everette Brown (no longer on the team)

#2: Trading away a second round pick in the 2011 draft for Armanti Edwards

#3: Re-signing players like Thomas Davis and Deangelo Williams to huge contract extentions in 2011, while each was coming off a poor season, crippling the team to make moves in free agency in 2012.

What do you think the best/worst moves Marty Hurney has made for the team?

Additional worst moves

Paying Pep during Fox's lameduck season and letting him walk..... Unlike a RB a DE like Peppers had real value that could of helped a team he clearly didn't want to be a part of going forward.

I think not paying Moose was a mistake as well. Spent years trying to replace him.

Worst: Signing Delhomme after he throws 5 picks to the Cards in 08. He paved their way to the SB, that should've been us! We signed an old man that had a season ending injury without even getting hit, the same year he signed his extension. We then release him shortly after, waste of guaranteed money IMO.

Best: Cam n Steve Smith.... faces of the franchise

Who cares what he's done. He's an average at best GM and our team's record proves it. Cam might be able to bail him out, but I doubt it. I don't see why he still has a job here. Most GMs in the league have nabbed great players in the Draft. So Hurney is nothing special there. He has us in cap trouble now too. The guy just isn't that good.

yep, his over the top deals after Fox left sealed it for me.....that he and Fox should of been tied at the hip. Both gone.

Bad- Dwayne Jarrett and basically every second round selection he's ever made except Kalil.

Dwayne Jarret wasn't a bad pick at all. He was great in college and was considered one of the top three WRs in his class. Would've been snatched up if we didn't draft him. Not predicting the future doesn't make you a bad GM.

    • Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"
    • Yeah your right the owner was copping hand shandies while all this was going down 
    • I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
