It was a steal by Hurney. Much better than say a fourth round pick for an over the hill punter.

Chicago had a brain fart and it fell into Hurneys lap. No one would have turned that down.

Bill tweeted this morning (and I didn't know either because it was a concern of mine as well) that Rob Rogers and JR head a committee that have been dealing with contracts and will continue during the interim GM's tenure. I'm sure Marty will be in on it, but he won't have free rein. 

Doesn't mean these contracts aren't coming out, just means Marty doesn't have the checkbook. 

Gotcha, still not good. But I hope they learned their lessons.

Yeah, you're completely and utterly wrong. If anything you have it backwards. Gettleman is the horrible drafter.

Hurney found Josh Norman, Greg Hardy, Gary Barnidge, Brad Nortman in late rounds. All Pro Bowlers. He found other pieces too. Lots of players he drafted late stayed and played in the league for a long time. Just go look it up yourself. Geoff Schwartz, Nick Hayden are two that come to mind. Or how about the 7th round nickel cornerback Captain Munnerlyn the Panthers just resigned? Let's go for some more with Evan Mathis, Charles Johnson, Ryan Kalil.

This team was built on Marty Hurney's foundation. It's a lie to say otherwise. Dave Gettleman since joining the Panthers has made sure this organization has had the fewest draft day selections in the league. The antithesis of the Patriots way. His "eye for talent" netted us players such as Devin Funchess for three picks.

Greg (psychopath and currently out of league) Hardy? LMFAO Gary (one hit wonder) Barnidge? LMFAO Brad (inconsistent) Nortman? LMFAO

Hurney isn't managing the cap as the interim GM....FYI

I think some people don't know the meaning of interim. He is going to hold the rudder in place to keep this ship sailing while a long term replacement is figured out. Makes sense to bring him back while (hopefully) due diligence is done to make sure the right person is hired long term. People see "Hurney GM" and the fandom forces them to panic. You said it best earlier - R.E.L.A.X. but that' not going to happen right now.

I honestly have no idea why you think he's better than DG. I really don't. Hurney screwed the team up something fierce before he was booted. Gettleman was a douche but he fixed Hurney's mistakes and set the team up to be in a position for long term success based on roster talent and finances. The core of Cam and Luke were drafted by Hurney, sure, but he couldn't do anything well but draft first round picks and that is only one very small area of being a GM.

DG clearly caused a lot of friction within the locker room and you can't have that, period. 

Hurney did find guys like Hardy, Norman, Capt (who DG just overspent on), Kalil, McClain (who DG signed), flipped a 3rd for Greg Olsen and two guys who found success after leaving Carolina in Barnidge and Schwartz.

Gettleman has pissed away a ton of draft picks and outside of KK and Trai and now possibly Bradberry he whiffed on every other one outside of round 1. But in round 1 DG drafted rotational guys like Shaq and Vernon whereas Hurney found legit starters/difference makers for us. 

People keep mentioning long term success but we just finished coming off a losing season. I'm not even a huge fan of how the roster shaped up this offseason and that's why I'm glad DG is gone. 

But im not trying to sell you on Hurney, I think he's garbage as well but I HATE Gettleman. Just so we're clear I was behind the Smitty and Deangelo releases but not Norman. So don't think my hate stems from Gettleman cutting Smith or something petty, it's the countless draft mistakes and offseason signings and how he handled a lot of his business.

Name one All-Pro or Pro Bowler Dave has drafted in later rounds. Actually just look up the Pro Bowlers Carolina has every year and cry yourself to sleep.

Exactly. We posted an article this morning about why it was a good thing. Or...the best thing in this f-ed up situation I guess is a better way to say it.

      Rams are willing to deal one of the 1st rounders for all-pro talent in secondary

      By strato · Posted

      They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world.

      I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).

      It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
