How long do we give Gettlemen to turn things around?

It's been a really long time since this fan base has had to deal with a new General Manager and a new way of doing business. We are definitely going to see some big changes this summer, contracts will be terminated, and potentially a new philosophy during the draft (i.e. players that can play their positions). Hurney did some great things in the draft and brought in some decent free agents without breaking the bank. But his screw ups outside the first round of the draft as well as dealing future picks, huge contracts to aging stars, and the inability to find players at certain positions (Wide Receiver, Defensive Tackle) made us grow weary of his decision making. Despite Hurney's success, we quickly turned on him in the last few years, albeit warranted. My question is how long does Gettlemen get before we begin to question his ability to make us a winner?

What do you want accomplished? What will be considered a huge failure? How long is his grace period last? 1 year? Two years? Does he get a pass because he hasn't picked his own coach?

I love all you negative people. NOT. This team is already heading in the right direction. I'm not one that believes Rivera will fail next year. As negative as some of you are I can't help but wonder how you get through a day without commiting suicide.

I'm giving him 3 yrs.

I wanna see a 1st rounder who can make instant impact on this team like a Cam and Luke. I don't want someone that we draft that we'll have to wait and see him on situational plays only. The draft should be taken through carefully. Trading down should be an option and a no brainer.

Fix the cap, cut the aging player with big contracts (Gamble) and restructure the rest. Learn how to bring in FA guys that can be an added piece to this team and not off the street guys. We, Hurney passed up on no brainer guys like Carlos Rogers recently who wouldve fill a needy position. I dnt want to see anymore of that bullshit.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      The OP for one. Asserting that people blamed Bryce for the loss in the title of the thread. That was not the prevailing sentiment at the time this thread was created. Very much a minority thing, I don’t remember but maybe one person if that, putting it on Bryce as the main reason. Troll thread. Did a good job too. Look at the pages.  Someone counting up the draft picks as 10 on offense and 10 on defense or whatever the number was, today or yesterday - of which the offensive ones were heavily 1s and 2s and the defensive picks were heavily day 3 and declaring that proof that the offense wasn’t favored like people claim. The obvious neglect we watched for two years. I spent time refuting that bullshit because someone needed to.  People saying we are bad horrible people and hate poor lil Bryce for no reason, as if it is a personal thing. Constantly.   Along the same lines is people saying we non Bryce fans would rather lose than have him play well and the team wins. That we are mad when the team wins   Point illustrated.

      Might not have been in this specific thread... As far as the other, I'm not necessarily reading every post that isn't responding to me so I don't think I saw that. Mind you, we've certainly seen the "not a real fan" stuff on here before.
