I know you guys like hyperbole and all, but there's more to this than JUST Hurney

We suck. We suck hard. We suck for many reasons. Reasons that can't be fixed by changing 1 thing. We suck across the board and I think this is an indication that this team is getting blown up this offseason.

We fired Hurney, and for good reason. Just because Johnson is upset does not mean it wasn't the right move. His decisions over the past 5 years have been questionable at best and have led us to the basement where we seem to be trapped in the dark. He was not the only problem though. Please understand that. This team is so broken, from the foundation to the leaky roofs, we need to tear it down and rebuild. That's the only way this mess of situation is going to get fixed. It would be nice if Hurney was the sole reason we suck, but he isn't.

As much as I want to believe in Rivera, I don't think I can anymore, and I think he and his staff need to leave at the end of the year. We need a new GM with no ties to the organization who can look at the whole thing with an unbiased eye and see what needs to be fixed and how to execute it. No one is safe. NO ONE.

And that's good. I'm sick of losing and I'm pretty sure everyone else is too.

You are absolutely right the housecleaning isn’t over.... New GM's bring in their pick for coaches and their own staff.

When fixing a sports organization you have to bring in someone that isn’t in love with the players and have emotional ties... When emotional ties make you sign players instead of player value, the team ends up with bad contracts.

Hurney was the perfect example of that. From what I have read he was an awesome guy he just wasn’t the best GM anymore. He has made some excellent pickups but he has made more questionable moves than anything else over the past 5 years.

      I'd hold on to Walker - we have no OT depth at all. Freeling is a block of clay - all the tools are there and he appears to have a great attitude. He needs serious work on his technique to realise his potential though.

      From my watch last night: They weren't trading out of 19 unless it was a daft offer once Freeling got there. They were clearly antsy to get Hunter - and Minnesota actually called to offer the trade down. They weren't trading out of the third round pick once Brazzell fell to it (and Canales would have been happy with him in the second round). They traded back a lot on Day 3 - even if Morgan 'Babe Ruth'd' it with Lee, Hecht and Wheatley; they clearly weren't the only guys they would have taken at those picks. I'm curious to know which player caused the reaction at the start of day 2 (Dan Morgan): "of course they'd pick him"

      Watching this confirms that this staff and front office is super high on Monroe Freeling. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotta a real chance to win the starting LT job in camp. If he does, we can look to flip Rasheed Walker to a contender desperate for tackle help.   As for Ickey I still really like him and wanna extend him but based on how the staff was talking about Freeling it might be time for ickey to start taking some practice sets at guard if he wants to stay here as we are gonna have to have figure out a solution for the contracts of Lewis and Hunt.  My preferred scenario for the Oline in 2027 is Freeling-Ickey-Hech-Lewis-Moton.
