Since Hurney is back in the spotlight after raising some questions on his radio show yesterday, I was curious what you, my fellow Panther faithful, feel is the bigger crime.

I just about had a Haht attack.

If we traded UP to get Jimmy and lost out on CAM... just knowing how close we came to doing this...

just about self deficated..

Rumor is he was close to pulling the trade off. That would have set our organization back a damn decade while Cam was balling up in Buffalo.

Trading the next year's number one or another pick in that draft?  I don't think he was looking to give up the next years' first again.  But if he had, then that would have been the worst decision of his tenure, no doubt.

Yeah but that only would have guaranteed that we drafted Andrew Luck the next year...

 

Knowing how he likes to trade, we probably would have traded a 2012 first rounder to trade up in the 2nd to draft Andy Dalton (which would mean no Cam AND no Luke).

This speculation about losing Cam over Clausen all assumes that Cam would have been drafted number 1 in 2011.  At the time there were many pundits who didnt predict he would be drafted or more accurately should be drafted in the top 10.  He was projected to us in the first round because we wanted him, but most folks thought that he was perhaps the 3rd or 4th best quarterback in the draft.  Guys like Mayock thought that Gabbert was a much better QB than Cam. Teams may have picked Ponder or even Jake Locker who went 10 and 8 respectively before Cam.

 

Hurney was right picking Cam though as the other 3 guys mentioned were not even offered a 5th year option and are all scheduled for free agency.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
