Its 100% accurate too.

Best lines in the whole article...

Richardson is a former player held in high regard among his fellow owners around the league, but remember that he's the same guy who reportedly dismissed the likes of Drew Brees and Peyton Manning during the lockout negotiations by insulting their intelligence and asking them if they knew how to read the revenue chart. It seems ironic that an owner who doesn't trust the players to understand basic economics has entrusted his team to a general manager who doesn't seem to have a strong grasp on it, either

He makes some valid points, many that have been made here. I do disagree with him about Lafell though. The Delhomme deal alone probably should have caused him to be on a short leash.

Agree.

Then came the trades, the cuts, the extensions, etc.

Really really bad job by the FO.

So now other people believe it's a problem when Hurney BELIEVES IN PLAYERS JUST BECAUSE HE PERSONALLY LIKES THEM instead of making good business decisions to help you win games right now?

Doesn't Brandon Hogan STILL deserve to be on this team, much less drafted?

Thomas Davis would've been Hall of Fame material, if he could stay healthy, but he can't, so he should have AND WOULD HAVE been replaced a long time ago...if you cared more about the product you put on the field than how you PERSONALLY feel about the men you put on the field.

I'm sure Hurney would be great TO WORK FOR, but will you ever win consistently with him? No, like I've always said, because he holds on too long.

Heart over head...Buddies over business only gets you so far.

You know it's bad when there's even something on the ESPN.com main page calling your GM incompetent.

Granted I don't stop by there daily or anything but it seems pretty rare for them to call out any GM in such a way. Generally after a big loss all the heat falls on a teams quarterback or head coach. Articles on front office personnel seem pretty rare, especially one that's as critical as this.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I think you should see the OP for pretty big reasons why that is a completely incorrect take given this is a Dave Canales team.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By HeelsPanthersCanes · Posted

      TMac is a good player and would've been the right pick if our QB could throw a ball farther than 40 yards. For this team's current build (run first, game management passing attack) and the fact that our TE's are laughably bad - the five on our roster have combined for less than 600 yards total, with 3 TDs - Warren should've been the pick.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By frankw · Posted

      If anyone feels like they can't have a conversation about Bryce Young nearly three full seasons into his career maybe assess why and how these conversations end this way instead of looking to shoot the messenger. Why is it okay to label anyone else on the team or coaching staff trash? Folks on the huddle and across the fanbase on social media have fully thrown anyone and everyone including rookie 8th overall pick TMac fully under the bus multiple times this season. But some of you guys apparently expect a pat on the back because Bryce Young successfully evaded a few potential sacks while Tyler Shough got consumed by our pass rush throughout the game and still had a superior performance. The state of this division is hilariously mediocre at best. Bryce Young is the only player on this roster who is allowed to have the lowest bar possible yet we have invested the most resources in him. It's lunacy.
