Dave Gettleman to Marty Hurney - You left us a cap mess, but drafted a hell of a QB

Hurney brought up the cap mess earlier in the interview. He took a jab at himself. G-man referenced it later as a tongue-in-cheek response later. Don't see anything awkward about the exchange at all. There was no need for Gurney to respond, and the change of subject was within the natural flow of the interview.

Come on, Huddle. We are not teenage girls here.

Well with that rationale, let's congratulate Hurney on building the first ever team that went to back to back playoff appearances in the 20+ years of the franchise, for where this team is today, and where ever Kuechly , CJ, Cam, Norman, Stewart, etc. take them from here.  

 

Kuechly

CJ

Cam

Stewart

DeAngelo

Gross

Munnerlyn

Kalil

Hardy

J Norman

etc...

 

yep he deserves credit for that in much the same way he deserves to be blamed for all the terrible contracts and trades he was behind

 

i'll contact stephen hawking to make sure but i'm pretty sure both conditions can exist in the same plane of reality

That's exactly what I got from the interview. . Very respectful and funny back and forth between 2 GM'S. .

Hurney drafted well in Round 1....after that, he was well below average.

That "seems" to be where Gettleman is far superior.

Not saying that.. I know Gettelmen a better talent evaluator by a mile.. But he's still standing on the success of a lot Hurney picks.

Belicheats record in the draft isn''t great either.

Kuechly- deserves credit for that selection

CJ- good pick who was given an unjustifiably gigantic contract by hurney

Cam- no brainer at the top of the draft

Stewart- guy whose paycheck far outpaced his production until the last quarter of this season

DeAngelo- same as above except for the "productive" part

Gross- gone

Munnerlyn- production easily replaced by a rookie

Kalil- good pick who is getting paid a lot of money for his position relative to the rest of the NFL

Hardy- didn't even play this year

J Norman- nobody knew what we had in him until literally like three months ago

 

hurney's restructure of steve smith in 2012 also led to his release this year.  for everything good williams, johnson, and stewart have done their cap figures have crippled this team at the same time.  if he deserves credit for good stuff he deserves the same for the bad.

Hurney was a kick the can GM. He did his best in his early years because well, he could kick the can back a few years. Towards the end there was no where left to kick the can of God awful contracts and it caught up with him, thus the cap hell of the past two years and year to come.

Enter Gettleman, who promptly grabbed the can and opened the can. Inside? A healthy portion of whoop ass.

(satisfied sniff)

Did Hurney crap on you or something?

Whatever you say IGo.. Gettelmen opened a Can with alot of Hurney's picks. .

I would also bet money a lot of the signing and FA money given out 2011 that Hurney takes the blame for were a higher up decision demanded by Jerry. .

      I just want to see a big guy with an NFL certified cannon arm suit up for the panthers again. To me, it will show that they are at least  trying to take the QB position in the direction it needs to go.   Will he throw picks? Yes. Probably a hell of a lot, but (for now) I’m strangely ok with that… for now. I at least need to see a dude that CAN make the throws with some semblance of accuracy.  This is the time to see what the QB whisperer is made of. The offensive talent is there. It’s certainly better than most rookie/journeymen QBs will ever step in to. If he can get a random dude playing at a JAG level, then I might be sold.  Andy could really surprise in the Buffalo game. He (for now) still has enough arm for Tet and XL to show what they’ve got, but we all know it’s only going to be good for 3-4 games, max. He has vet savvy, and that does account for a lot. He also has a full week of practice with all the snaps to prepare.  My best case scenario going forward: Andy plays the next 2 games nobly (winning one would be a huge bonus) giving White a chance to learn some of the playbook and develop chemistry with the players. Serviceable Andy turns in to old man Andy in game 3 and White takes the field after halftime.  A high ankle sprain (lol, sure it is) is an injury that can buy the team a LONG time for BY to ride the pine…. Maybe even IR. His peak trade value is now. Get what they can for this albatross. He’s now shown that he can be a mid level backup which does hold a significant value for the right team.  Not even in my wildest dreams do I see White being anything more than a JAG, but that’s ok. JAGs with a big arm make great bridge QBs that at least won’t have your play makers stagnating. Keeping BY under center is a 100% recipe for stagnating high ceiling (Tet/XL) dudes and/or not allowing them to take the next step in their development. Why even practice the good half of the playbook if the QB can’t make the throw? After a while, you’ve now got high ceiling guys who can only run a limited route tree. No thanks.
