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.

    • Varying degrees all around but it starts at the top. That is where the buck stops. It has been 8 years of stupid, long before Morgan came back. Or Tillis was hired. Made it to the top of stupid mountain in 2023. Stayed in stupid limbo for a while, now we are prepping to scale the next mountain. In this case, I like those guys’ roster building better than what we have had so I am okay with them as our current pawns in the game of Bryce. 
    • Don't let me gas him up too much, but I hear this and that...... I seen a wide body man with a quick burst, that's able to shed blocks and if extends his long arms its over. He tore up the OL in the senior, you seen about 10 plays and the dog walking OLman. There's other plays of him doing the same, just have to deal with fetus talking over the plays. Plus there's this-  https://x.com/PFF_College/status/2018385471068332410?lang=en     I hope he's ready, cause Id like to see him starting and doing his thang with dbrown, nic, and Phillips. 
    • I mean there is relevance to that. But I think much of it has to do with the fact that he is clearly likeable. But does that translate to a coach taking his position to the next level like those that have had staying power for many years like Spoelstra? And not for nothing but does how much someone is liked even matter? Across leagues with the Panthers Ron Rivera and Marty Hurney were universally well liked by players. Dave Canales is very well liked. I say you are what your record says. And the record says you got your ass handed to you by a fellow expansion team in the Magic in a game that was over at halftime and that same team went toe to toe with our nemesis who has been handing us L's for over a year now. And if Bam doesn't get his leg swept by LaMelo do we even get past the Heat? Again. It just all boils down to personal standards. I think newer and younger fans will love this. I just want to actually win a real playoff game fam 🤷‍♂️
