Hurney on Pats: Culture of Cheating


X-Clown

Recommended Posts

Did anyone mention to Hurney the Panthers offensive line being roided up for the superbowl?

 

 

From the article:

 

Hurney made it clear the Panthers weren't completely innocent of violating rules during their Super Bowl year. He brought up a report that came out after the season which said several Carolina players bought steroids from a South Carolina physician.

Among those cited in the report were three of the five starting offensive linemen.

"That was wrong," Hurney said. "The organization didn't know anything about it, and we took steps and we addressed that. We weren't going to put up with that. [Team owner] Jerry Richardson wasn't going to put up with that.

Hey you fuging idiots that are talking about the Panthers o-line. First of all, it was 3 awful linemen and our punter. That was the extent of the "cheating". Don't go on like Fox or Hurney or anyone else knew about this stuff.

 

Also, do any of you also think the Seahawks' title is tainted with all of their steroid abuse? Sherman, Bruce Irvin, Brandon Browner...the Seahawks lead the lead in PED suspensions since Carroll took over, yet I hear more of you supposed Panthers fans calling US into question over them? Go f yourselves.

It amazes me that our former GM speculates about the possibility of the opposing team cheated against us during the SuperBowl and "so called Panther Fans" run to the Patriots defense like scorned teenage girls defending their man crush. Why not come out of the closet, put on that Pats hoodie with the sleeves cut off, and become a Patriots fan? I'm all for looking at both sides of the story but some of this sh*t is ridiculous.

Convenient nobody will ask Hurney about that, though.

 

 

Read back a page...

 

 

... and there's a clear difference between a player or group of players doing PED's and an entire organization from the top down knowingly bending and breaking rules repeatedly.

 

 

Same with the Saints, the coaches and staff were the ones perpetrating the rule breaking.

 

 

If the Panthers were involved in something like this (bounties or illegal filming or whatever) I'd call for the entire staff to be fired.

 

If coaches knew about PED's, they should be (should have been) fired.

    • I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!
    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.  
    • Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
