Hurney GM vs Pats Cheating Culture: A scientific poll

[SCP]

Trading the next year's number one or another pick in that draft? I don't think he was looking to give up the next years' first again. But if he had, then that would have been the worst decision of his tenure, no doubt.

Rumor was he was waiving the 2011 first round pick in front of New England (I think).

Hurley specifically said he wasn't willing to give up next year's first so all this "oh how close we came" stuff really is pretty inaccurate

No, he was specifically quoted at some point of saying he wasn't willing to give the first th e next yeat so he was glad we got Clausen in the 2nd without needing to trade up

Could be.  Like I said it was a rumor that I heard.  But if a trade I was pining to make didn't go through and the guy I was trying to trade up for fell to me, i sure as hell would say "Meh, I wasn't going to do it anyway" to cover my ass.

Rumor is he was close to pulling the trade off. That would have set our organization back a damn decade while Cam was balling up in Buffalo.

 

damn, and it seems like that team is a good QB away too..

Here's the rumor:  http://espn.go.com/blog/nflnation/tag/_/name/marty-hurney/count/121

 

He’s a second-round pick with first-round talent and he was Carolina’s first pick in this draft. The Panthers were trying to trade up to early in the second round to get Clausen, but didn’t have enough ammunition to get there.

 

A 2011 first round pick would have been more than enough to move up 12-13 spots, so there's no way they were dangling that.  Also, rumor had it that there was no way we were going to trade our 2011 first rounder after two years with no first round pick.  Bottom line is, I believe that they made inquiries about trading up, but the price was too high and he fell to us anyway.

I love how a terrible decision Hurney almost made is getting more votes than the terrible decisions he actually made.

Is not having your helmets pointed in correct direction from start of the season not an answer here?

Excellent, nice find.

Ha! It damn well should be, right? I'm such a dumbass!

 

Edit:  That answer has been added

How many times do we have to reiterate that the reason we DIDNT move up to get Jimmy was because Hurney REFUSED to part with next year's first?

Look I know the guy did a terrible job, but there are plenty of things to trash him for without having to make stuff up. And supporting the Patriots for cheating just to bash on Hurney, seriously? Petty.

[Growl]

The guy said that we tried to trade for Clausen but didnt because they wanted our first in the post draft interview.

I mean like word for word spelled it out.

I heard that he was offering the first rounder to the Rams, but they obviously thought we would be picking 32nd (not first) the next year with the deadly Clausen to App State midget combo in da house.  Hurney commented that he felt like the Armanti trade was "House money"  because he tried to broker a deal with the Rams for Clausen, and Clausen fell to them anyway.  In addition, It was rumored that the Colts were faking interest in Clausen because they knew MH was in love with him, trying to force him.

 

That draft was all Marty-no Fox in his ear--no system to draft for-just go out and get us some football players, MH. 

[Lumps]

Cam was picked due to the salary cap, not because this FO 'believed in him', pre 2010, never would have happened.

Lol you guys
