This offseason the Panthers signed Mike Tolbert to upgrade over Goodson, whom was traded to the Raiders for Campbell whom is depth at the RT position for when Jeff Otah is traded to the Jets for a draft pick to make up for trading a draft pick to the same Raiders for Louis Murphy to sure up our receiver corps. Traded a fumble machine and a cripple to get a viable receiver who can block and a solid backup with potential (All at no cost!) and signed a beast on the cheap. What a day.

It's almost as if it was all planned out from the beginning. Dump off dead weight to make the roster better not just on offense but special teams as well. Give Hurn-dawg props where it is due. :clap:

Let's watch one drive in the preseason before we overreact.

Didn't think this needed its own thread, so I'll drop it here as it could relate to some potential Hurney Magic.


TD58SDTM @JeremyShockey You ready for this Spartanburg Heat? Lol


Think he knows something we don't?

Maybe, but lets sit on that one before we make assumptions. Too many assumptions today, hurts my brain.

That sums it up...I like both moves. Trading away a pick and then trading to get a pick, Love it.

We waited too long to get rid of Otah (former 1st rounder who we gave up picks for) and could only get a 7th for him. Hurney is Hurney. Not terrible, not great. Somwhere in the middle. Only magic he has is staying average.

We got rid of players in the dog house that probably wouldn't see the field (Otah and Goodson) and added a good player with Murphy and a project with Campbell. A fine way for things to break overall.

Cripple for a WR who just had a recent injury himself this past season. If that is true what some people said. Yes decent trade. But only if Murphy doesn't get hurt again and he can produce. Then the trade is all worth it.

this is true.. It's not Hurney Magic because that would imply Hurney can do the impossible, and that is what it would take for Hurney to be respected by some..

I think that's the expectation the coaching staff has as well... after all, our current rookie 7th round pick may not even make the team, so if all we lose is a 7th for Murphy (worst case scenario) then so be it.

don't go on a i love hurney homer rampage until the team he fields can get us into the postseason or at least back to back winning seasons sheesh. Steelers fans read threads like this and chuckle.

Saying Hurney is a magician is like saying Rodney Dangerfield is a serious Shakespearean actor.

There's more to Otah than injuries. He showed up to camp overweight. So there was a character issue. Yet another high pick down the drain.

But it's OK, the captain is still here so no worries. And Hogan will solve a lot of secondary problems. And A. Edwards, a 2nd round pick, will suddenly become Steve Smith.

But perhaps I'm expecting some magic.
