These quotes scare me

'09 and '10. JR was the GM in those years.

In 2007, we signed one guy...one. Deke Cooper. Remember him?  No reason why you should.

In 2004, we signed three, none of whom were any good.

If you look at other years, you'll find a few additional cases where half the guys we signed contributed nada.

This notion that Hurney was a good roster builder who plugged holes and kept a competitive roster just doesn't hold up.

If you still doubt that, just take a look back at the win loss record of Hurney's teams. A good roster builder doesn't boast only three competitive seasons out of eleven.

I'm afraid we're playing chicken to get a better deal.

My worry is that blowing up in our faces.

 

Granted, John Fox treated offense as an afterthought.

Well, he wanted a power rushing attack.  Ironic thing is that the team didn't really do much to promote a powerful rushing attack until 2008, and by that time, Delhomme was done.

What glaring holes did we have in those years? We were pretty loaded in 2004 and IIRC, in 2007, he addressed the safety issue by trading for Chris Harris.
