Fricking Ozzie Newsome signs Hurst

Now, say what you want, but if Ozzie signed James Hurst, then why couldn't we do it? I do know that Hurst had to be worth signing with his background and experience, and the fact that Newsome signed him is all of the seal of approval that i need.

Now I am not saying that G-man didn't try to sign Hurst, whom Carolina should have been very familiar with, and vice versa ("Carolina" pun intended), but if he did I wonder why Hurst wouldn't have chosen to come to Charlotte (even more than Brandon Coleman).  Perhaps G-man wasn't interested.   Newsome sure was though.

 

We do have another RB though.  Perhaps it will make more sense come June 1.

Its stupid to critisize a GM for not signing a UDFA. For all we know he could have been bustings Hurst's balls to sign here.. People act like if he doesnt, he didnt even try. Wtf is that logic.

Not saying top dawg is about that.

I think gettleman means it when he says, i trust our evaluation. I have a feeling many of you are going to be pleasantly suprised by our O-line, especially LT. Very very similar to the "wtf!! We have no DBs! How could gettlmen be so stupid to not bring in more? We shoyld have drafted a CB! We are rolling in with this group week one?! What a fugging mooron. 6-10"

#2 defense folks. With no name DBs.

Newsome also made Flacco the highest paid QB in the league.

 

Apples to oranges. This is about signing talent, not handing out paychecks.  

 

 

 

 

BTW, Flacco's contract will be an afterthought as the salary cap rises.

Yeah gettleman is aweful at that. You know, its not like he signed melvin white or robert lester last year as UDFA, who played significant roles in our #2 defese.

Wouldnt it be aweaome if one of his UDFAs had a pick six to seal our division title! The day that happens pigs will fly huh?

Yeah that's all we needed was another o lineman on injured reserve great pick, after kugbila even if he does come back stronger than ever it's a little risky at this point...even tho I like the guy and the way he played against sub par clowney( I say subpar bc he new he was getting paid next year)just a risk we need healthy guys who can play now on the oline

I respect that, and it makes sense. As for me, I did say that maybe he did try. I don't know.  The bigger question to me is why we didn't take the chance on Hurst in the 6th when we drafted Gaffney.  We probably could have easily competed without Gaffney and had a guy that may have been the actual replacement for Jordan Gross.  I think that it is safe to assume that but for the injury, Hurst would have been at last a third round grade.  Seems to me that he was the better value pick for us in the distant future.  Running backs are so much easier to acquire, and I have no doubt that if not during cuts, we could have easily drafted a guy next year.  Something must be up on the RB front.

I am talking about James Hurst this year.  

 

i am not going to talk about the value of UDFAs, but suffice it to say that they can and do make an impact in the NFL, and not only help seal divisional titles, but Super Bowl titles. And, that's not a question, it's a statement.

I get it, but I am just saying that with our relative lack of depth on the line (even more if Wharton retires), it seems like that would be a risk/sacrifice that was worth taking/making (in regards to our last pick).  It's all good though.

Joe Flacco has a Superbowl ring.  He made some great throws in the playoffs that year.  Not saying he deserves to be the highest paid QB in the NFL, but he's done more than Cam as of right now.

LOL did you seriously just justify a bad contract. 

 

Ya CJ, Stew, Cam, Luke's contract will all be an afterthought as the salary cap rises. 

 

That is the type of thinking that will kill your team.

Listen if this Hurst guy was as good as you claim him to be he would NOT have gone undrafted. There is probably something NFL teams know about this kid that made them not want to draft him. They probably didnt think he had a chance to start or even be a decent backup. Most likely a roster cut/practice squad guy. If he had potential to be our LT then he would have gotten picked up

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Then don't tune in. It's really not a hard concept to understand, if your making your decision based on your own personal needs/feelings as opposed to what is best for the future of the franchise, then it's a you problem, not a Panthers problem. When the season is already lost, every fan should be rooting for the same thing.  The team plays hard until the final whistle of the season and keeps improving as a team and individually, but in the end, we still come up short and lose games, and preferably because the other team beat us, not because we screwed up and found a way to lose due to our own fault. Look at it this way... If we are up 1 or 2 points with 3 seconds left in the game and the other team is lining up for a FG.  Beyond the joy of victory or the disappointment of defeat, what impact does the other team making or missing the FG have on our team the following season? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Except where we draft and what teams we play due to our finish in the division. The players and coaches on the team would have the exact same level of improvement and learnings about themselves individually and as a team whether the FG is made or missed.  The ONLY difference in the end is the record in the standings and if the win or loss number changes. If you want to argue if making the playoffs to lose in the first round or just missing them is better or worse, that's totally fair and I can at least understand the other side of it.  But in what is already a lost season, if you're not hoping your team plays well but ends up losing, then you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.  You're hoping for a moment of happiness at the detriment of the franchise's future, and in turn, you're basically then happy for a moment to only set yourself up for future further disappointment.

      If we’re eliminated I want the wins more.   The season is already a disappointment and if I’m not pulling for wins why bother to tune in?

      Two things terribly wrong with this post. First is that not one time has myself or anyone else agreeing with me said that the team themselves should think that way or try and lose for positioning.  Never once have I suggested the team should purposefully lose games, ever.  I honestly can't understand why people keep saying this in posts, not one fan has ever said the players should or would purposefully try to lose. And second, is yes, that has happened and it's happened very recently.  The 2020 Bengals were 4-11-1 and then were playing in the SB the very next season.   And while it might have been 2 years later and they didn't quite get to the SB, the 2021 Lions were 3-13-1 and then the 2023 Lions were up 24-7 at halftime of the NFC Championship game. The season between those two? They finished 9-8 and only just missed the playoffs. Which is why I keep trying to compare us to the Lions in where we are at in our re-build.  Throw out Bryce's rookie year with the Reich staff who just didn't work out and he looked god awful.   This past season when we were 5-12 in Canales' 1st season is that 2021 season for the Lions and their 1st season under Campbell.  This year is their 2022 where they grew a ton and Campbell's culture building was clear, where I'm saying we'd likely be better off in the long run if we go 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss out on the playoffs (which is still a significant improvement from last year).  Then our 2026 is their 2024 when we have a chance to be a real contender after adding a few more pieces and our key players having another year of experience under their belts.
