What does an NFL GM do, anyway?

Hurney was not a good GM nor will he ever be a good GM. There is a reason he wasn't hired anywhere else and it's not because he didn't have an infinite supply of Bojangles like Mister Richardson.

DG was only hired once as GM as well

I wonder why there was not an announcement yesterday after the meeting with Hurney?  Not even a source leaking info.  Is it possible that Hurney turned down the offer due to the backlash from fans?  Remember...Hurney and JR are very close and several sources said that he volunteered to step down in 2012 to protect Rivera, JR, and the team.  Hurney seems like a true good guy who just might have turned down this offer to protect JR.  

Then again...I could be talking out my ass.

That would seriously be the best thing Hurney has done since drafting Luke.

I'm over the Gettleman being fired deal. Whatever. He fixed our cap, was an excellent talent evaluator in terms of bargain bin free agents, drafted a few key players, but he wasn't without his own faults. 

This offseason was his best yet, on paper at least...just makes the timing annoying.

If Hurney is brought in, it's just a huge slap in the face from the owner of this franchise. We do not need Hurney. We do not NEED an interim GM at all, for that matter.

There is a possibility the league may force the Panthers to comply with the Rooney Rule.

      Ekwonu doesn’t get dog walked under 2 minutes in the 4th, we drive, kick a FG and win

      A lot of young QB's struggle with holding on to the ball top long. He has gotten better progressively in that regard. Pocket Time(in Sec):  2.5(2023), 2.3(2024), 2.2(2025) Time to Throw(in Sec): 2.9(2023), 2.79(2024), 2.82(2025) The divedends have been fairly small, is the issue.

      If you can only fire ONE person before 2026....

      I'm firing DC, though I think it actually makes the job less attractive. He's not prepared to be a HC and it's showed. A new HC is not going to be tied automatically to BY. He's going to want to bring in some level of competition in the QB room because anyone who has ever watched football knows our QB room is lacking. If he doesn't, that tells a more interesting tale of who's really calling the shots.  Dave hasn't been decisive enough in game and that leadership council BS has trust fall vibes. Our offense has been pathetically stale and vanilla. Our run game while good has made no sense based on who has been playing best. Our defense is improved but they can't be expected to hold opposing teams to below 17 a game because our offense can't score consistently.  We've beaten some teams we shouldn't have beaten, specifically GB and the Rams, and I think our record doesn’t accurately reflect where the team and the coaching really is. We've fallen flat against a geriatric rookie QB leading a 2-10 NO team and got our ass handed to us TWICE. We're unprepared for the biggest games.  This is what happens though when real coaching candidates turn down interviews because your owner is a narcissistic butthole. You get someone no one else bothered to call and you get the results everyone else would have expected if they had.

      The Saints would be 2-12 if not for us. We are 50% of their wins. A organization serious about the playoffs does not get bullied by a sh*t team like the Saints TWICE. It's over my brotha.
