Huddle opinion....who agrees with the complete overhaul we are seeing

[R0CKnR0LLA]

Why do people always trash Hurney? He was a very good GM until his last 3 years.

 

lol

I agree with you about the moves except I am not unhappy with Shula. Yet.  If we give him weapons and we finish in the bottom 10 again this year and I might agree on that as well. With a majority of your cap on defense, it is hard to have a top 10 offense.

 

 

At least until we can spend that RB money on better OL/WR....

But seriously he wasn't always a bad gm.

[cbully]

Clearly the plan was to tag Hardy and let the rest walk

they didn't like my thread yesterday when I asked was he worth it... i should have created it tonight. regardless what if Hardy goes down this season. one man is not the team... smh oh the irony

The way we're bleeding players we may have the cap space to be able to release Stewart soon.

Half the roster will be UDFAs but hey.  :thumbsu:

Please list the good WRs he brought in or drafted, the good DTs he brought in or drafted, the good CBs he drafted.  There weren't many.

 

My issue was that he ignored key positions and overpaid.

We didn't need new DT's until his final years. He brought in Lewis and Kemo and they were very servicable. He didn't ignore the wr position. Many WR's were just busts.

I look at it this way:  It is his job to bring in good WRs--he was something like 0-18 in that dept--that would be hard to do if he tried....I remember us starting Tank Tyler and Louis Leonard at DT.  When we drafted A. Ellison, Carstens, etc--after Buckner left/retired.  Heck, there were several drafts in a row when DT was considered our biggest need and he did very little. 

 

Marty was at his best when he and the coach had a partnership.  He listened to Fox for the most part.  When Fox became a lame duck, Marty ventured out on his own.  The result?  Jimmy Clausen, trading up for Armanti Edwards, Eric Norwood--.  I saw Fox after the draft and asked him how much input he had in the draft.  He just shook his head and had a disgusted look on his face. 

 

You are correct, however, in that it was not until the end did we really see Marty's incompetence.   After the NFL strike that didn't happen and the pie chart, Marty seemed to lose confidence in his ability to do his job.  His contracts reflected an inferiority complex about the team.   He felt that he had to overpay to keep the core.  That core went 2-14 and he paid them handsomely.
