A GM thread

Everybody loves to pour it on Hurney because our team has only won more than 8 games 3 times over the past 10 seasons. The 11th season is far from over.

Please copy and paste these questions and bold your answer

,

Is Hurney more than 50% responsible for the 2010 disaster and how so?

Should GM'S and head coaches be held accountable together or seperately?

What is the biggest difference in the superbowl team in 03 and the 7-9 04 team?

What was the biggest difference from the 08 team that went 12-4 and the 09 team that went 7-9?

Everyone loves to say 3 winning seasons out 11, do you realize we have a winning record from 02-11.( if you throw out the 2010 lockout prep season where we had a lame duck headcoach)??- 2010 lockout prep year our record under Hurney is 77-67.

The worst move Hurney ever made was wasting a first round pick on Everette Brown. In hindsight the Otah one was pretty bad too, but nobody was complaining about it when we went 12-4 that year after finishing the previous season 7-9. Other blunders include wasted 2nd round picks. One was Edwards the other was Clausen.

I don't mind people bashing him or any player or coach as long as your objective about it.

In order to say he's terrible and his approach is terrible please consider how other teams are built.This is an excellent website to help you understand that.

Hurney is 58% responsible for the 2010 disaster. He is only 54% responsible for the 2011 disaster. The new coaching staff has limited Hurney's liability to the current 2012 disaster in progress to 47%, but taking history into consideration, experts are projecting Hurney's responsibility for next season's disaster at over 50%.

How did you arrive at those percentages?

He basically has managed for lack of a better word to get us one good season every 3/4 years or so

The feelings of 03 are well behind us and 05 & 08 weren't that special minus Smitty in 05 and Double Trouble in 08. He's overly clinging onto the only guys he was successful with wasting cash, not going after FAs that can help us out at areas OF NEED, and most importantly has not produced results in well over 3 years now regardless of getting lucky enough to get Cam or not.

It's a boiling point scenario and if we finish sub .500 yet again, it may hit

    • If we don't go OT, we will regret it.  What bothers me?  Are we going to get a starting-caliber OT at 19?  I think the draft is solid at OT, and the more I read up and watch video, the more I watch Lomu, the more I want him.   I see Freeling as a RT who needs some work in run blocking (since we need to run first, maybe not a good fit) and I see Proctor ending up as a Guard.  After Lomu (assuming Mouigia and fanu are gone), I think we wait until round 2.  In round 2, there are about 3-4 I like (Zuhn--good pass blocker and VERY underrated right now; Tiernan is a very good pass blocker as is Miller from Clemson, but both are not good in the run game.  Max Ixxxxx from Ariz St is impressive too---technically, there is not a of difference in these second tier guys--good in pass pro, need work in the run game.   If we wait until round 2 for an OT, we probably need to sign Nijman and start him early.   I almost think this is what we should do if Lomu is gone.  There is a big dropoff after him, imo, and I think we'd get better value if a stud ILB or edge is there.  Someone like TJ Parker Clemson makes sense. If Lomu is gone, trading back might be the play.  
    • And what is x gunna help with except show him what not to do. Plus for the first year and a half he was just an obstacle 
    • I understand that some people want WR. I am solidly against using yet another high pick there. Coker is pretty good and we used No picks on him.  What I think we really need at WR is a little bit of a Smitty lite. It is ridiculous to say let’s get a Smitty because you just can’t do that, but someone not tall and long striding but more in his mold. I think we’d have a pretty well rounded group.    Looking at tackle, with replacing Moton looming, it just seems like the no brainer.  You fill in Icky short term. Depending on how he recovers, and how the new guy plays, you go from there. A tackle at 19 is most likely either a LOT, a ROT, or a big talented guard, at worst. We will need all three in the next couple of years.  I would love to have a stud ILB be there at 19 but the OL is the responsible thing to do I believe.
