A Few ?'s For Those Convinced Hurney Sucks


panther4life

Recommended Posts

1.How many GM's do you rank above him?

2.Would you rather have fired Hurney and kept Fox?

3.In the seasons we missed the playoffs under his and Fox's tenure(02,04,06,07,09,and 2010) do you feel like he was to blame for not supplying Fox with enough talent?

4.Did he do a bad job in building a team based of Fox's preferences?

5.Outside of trading up for Edwards and Brown what do you deem as his biggest failures and think he did them against Fox's will?

6.In our worst season under his era as GM (2010),do you not think this happened due to Richardson prepping for the lockout?

7. What are the biggest free agent additions you think we missed on because of him?

The only problem I have with Hurney is the Edwards and Brown trades. They were both well beyond stupid. The Delhomme extension was weird. Other than that I am good with him, so I will not participate.

I agree the Edwards trade was dumb, but I also believe Fox at minimum was on board with the Brown trade if not the driving force behind it. I'd also argue he had a hand in the Delhomme extension.

7. Depth is what we missed out on....team has had little for a number of years. Not about one FA, all the bigger than needed contracts prevented us from better depth.

So when the injury bug has hit us it hurts....bad.

because we don't know the dynamic between hurney and fox, we don't really have much insight into which one of them was after a certain player, when they disagreed, etc. as such I am giving him a clean slate with rivera. so far so good.

OP.. its obvious you are trying to shift blame on Fox, but the reality is Fox won more with The Golden Calf of Bristol than Rivera could do with the team Hurney gave him...

I dont understand people who were glad to get rid of Fox, but happy to keep Hurney

1. is it Rivera's fault we had 2 rookies starting at DT, a position that most people agree takes about 2-3 years to develope in

2. was it smart to have no true back up for T. Davis who was coming off of 2 ACL injuries?

3. is Rivera responsible for having only 1 good CB (Gamble) to put on the field?

Also, I am in total agreement with the build through draft-supplement through free agency philosophy.

I agree with it only if you have a coach that can make it work. I think you should work to your coaches strengths. Rivera seems the man for the job while Fox needed Vets to win.

No stat ever tells a full story...

Fox won 2 more games than Rivera in a weaker conference in a craptastic division.

2 wins doesn't = proof of better coaching

    • In 2025 Sam Darnold had over 1k more passing yards than Bryce Young on 1 less pass attempt. Repeat that to yourself several times and let it sink in. I absolutely love it when people come on here and invoke Sam Darnold like some gotcha. Darnold is the physical prototype for what anyone needs in a franchise QB. All the physical tools. Few people thought he would put it all together on the mental side of the position. He used to make some of the worst decisions you would ever see. At times in the past he made up for that with absurd throws and athleticism. But make no mistake whatsoever no matter how you feel about our starting QB. Bryce Young is a completely opposite conundrum. He lacks virtually any and all physical tools and athleticism and his elite processing is really mediocre at best on a good day and horrific on a bad day. These are realities people should have already been addressing instead of quadrupling down in year four.
    • The nice thing about the timing of Bryce's contract at least is that it's going to match up with the 2027 Draft Class. No excuses, he either becomes Rams 2nd half Bryce year long, or we draft his replacement.  Nothing wrong with carrying Bryce on his 5th year expiring and a 1st round rookie waiting in the wings. Let the rookie sit until the trade deadline, deal Bryce to a needy team at the time, profit. 
    • Yeah they were bad QBs - but QB's that stayed on their teams for several years.  BY is better than all of those.
