Marty Hurney does one thing well. Draft project players that ultimately don't pan out. You don't get much worse than him. 

...only one that panned out was Davis...

Riiiight.

Do me a favor and tell me the story again about that incredible catch that helped the 49ers beat the Cowboys by Dallas Clark 

 

I see what you did there.  Where did he go to high school?  Hint: local trivia

So what is the theroy on how he can hit homeruns in the 1st and whiff so regularly the rest of the draft?

Doesn't matter. His contract negotiating skills make up for it...

 

it doesn't take much of a theory. in the first round he gets to choose from 1 of the top 20 players in the country. you're gonna hit more often than not when you don't take risks. Kuechly, Cam, Johnathan Stewart, et al were not exactly risks and didn't take much evaluation besides "yeah they're good let's draft them"

I'm not blindly defending Hurney. Its time for him to go soon no matter what IMO.

But plenty of teams whiff on firsts so it's not always easy. Nobody knew Luke would be hat good. The premise of this click bait thread is flawed in that even the great drafting Ravens chose Hurst over Jackson and Andrews.  They would love to  redraft with hindsight and select differently as well.

Feel free to count up the winning seasons we have had with Hurney as GM.

Actually Chris Gamble and Davis made the move before the draft.

Last season we had no pass rush and this season we led the league in sacks.  That one is for Hurndog 2.0.   Yes he is a good evaluator of talent and once in a while he makes a stupid pick like Gaulden so someone should co-approve every pick he makes to keep him straight.

3/13 seasons. 3 out of 13 years!

Six losing seasons in a row.  He has only produced a winning team 21% of the time.  I truly believe no other professional team would stick with someone so long that has been a consistent loser.  The GM is responsible for building the team.  People continue to make excuses for him, but the facts are the facts.  Marty Hurney is horrible at building a professional football team.  Anyone with basic football knowledge could average one or two good draft picks a year.

The only good news is Tepper seems to be limiting his role. I really would like to see him Raid the Steelers front office with McDaniels as coach.

Patting myself on the back as I've always shat on Hurney and recognized his incompetence. *pat*
