Possible, but entirely different skill set in which Hurney has zero experience. He doesn't strike me as a particularly organized person capable of managing many projects at once in a highly political environment. Nice guy, sure, but that will only get you so far. 

The way he's handled his radio station, yeah.  You're 100 percent right.  He's a horrible business man.  Just awful.

Would anyone argue against this statement:

The owner of this team is prone to make very bad football decisions.

Well, the last 2 GMs he hired got us to the SB. He hired "the greatest GM in the universe". He fired his own sons because he could see where that was headed. He is a successful businessman and he knows more about his franchise than we do. We don't know the details of why DG was fired. I know DG made some good moves the last 4 years, but if you cannot deal well with people you don't need to be an NFL GM.

just gonna echo others in this thread.

Hurney can stay if he doesnt rock the boat so much that it loses us a Super Bowl. in other words, the less he actually does, the better. 

if we win it all this year, my goodwill from elation will extend to all members of the Panthers organization. i would gladly sacrifice a couple/few years of competitiveness for a title this year (which is probably what we'd get with Hurney as long term GM).

if he doesnt fug anything up this year and we win, then i'd be willing to give him a couple years to prove he's learned his damn lessons.

Most of our scouting department. Our current HC.

Do any of you actually think before posting?

Are you trying to tell us that we should be happy about getting Hurney back because he hit on a small handful of draft picks in 10 years? Two of the guys on that list were drafted by Hurney because he was picking in the top 5 and it was simply a no brainer to pick Peppers and Cam in those drafts.

      Cam on ‘The Bank’

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Incorrect, I have watched us consistently over quite a number of years. When I say Cam relied on athleticism, I simply mean his dual threat style and athleticism overshadowed the deficiencies in the passing game (his own or those created by the system).  Now I wouldn’t disagree that our OCs over that time were not amazing and arguably held him back, but correct me if I’m wrong, Cam had a habit of locking onto his receivers and overthrowing them. Gettleman even drafted two big receivers - Kelvin Benjamin and Devin Funchess - to give Cam receivers with a big catch radius.  Again, correct me if I’m wrong, but Cam had some mechanical issues. For example, the reliance on arm strength over touch and his footwork often led to him throwing off the back foot. There were many debates on these boards about his mechanics, with far more knowledgeable posters than I braking down what he needed to improve on. End of the day, I was as big a Cam fan as the next person, but he did have his shortcomings as a passer. Had he played under someone like Sean McVay or a similar offensive guru, with a high quality QB coach, then I’m sure they would have ironed out the kinks and he would have been far more dangerous and successful than he was. And that’s a scary thought of what he could have been under the likes of a McVay!

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By mav1234 · Posted

      It's true that we are not scoring at a much higher clip than the Saints. They're averaging ~18.4 with Shough and in that same span we're averaging ~19, so pretty close, despite Bryce having better TD numbers over that period. Both our teams are a far, far cry from the NFL average of 23.3...
