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.

    • 5 straight completions in the 4th quarter to get into the red zone and then score a stand up rushing TD and celly in one of the best defenses faces to bring the score within 1 possession against the super bowl champs is "stunned" to you?  
    • yes, if you read what I said - that was due to his record breaking 245 yard 4th quarter performance in garbage time when the Seahawks were already celebrating. If Bryce puts up big numbers in the 4th quarter, people like you are quick to call it garbage time stats but seem to get selective when other QB's do it because it doesn't fit your narrative.  also, I'm logical enough to admit that Drake is a great QB and his performance had a lot to do with his protection, play calling, and other aspects. The game does not fall completely on the QB. Just like how the Panthers were still in the game vs Seattle until Horn's penalty changed that. It is a team sport, so many factors, players, refs, coaches are involved and it only takes one thing to change the game. the obsession with Bryce is just nauseating at this point and if you pay attention on here, it's the same 10 users quoting and pieing each other. it's super weird and everywhere else you go, opinions on Bryce are trending upwards. the way the season ended, the vibe at the stadium, the performance, should have everyone excited about this next season. Idk, maybe I just look at life and my entertainment outlets differently than others.
    • Are we sure something hasnt happened to him because that seems pretty shitty to simply abandon this place
