I was hoping Richardson would consult somebody like Joe Gibbs

YES PLEASE!!!!

Was thinking the same thing.

Didn't Joe Gibbs show up during OTAs?  Oh please football gods, make this happen!

First, I don't think DG was perfect.   I didn't like his take on the tackle situation, dealing with Norman, and the way we let some guys go like Smith (not the letting go part).    I questioned some draft choices but mostly liked the picks.      I'm far from a massive DG fan, but I think firing him at THIS point in the offseason is silly and I really think he deserved another year to see if Matt Kalil pans out and the rookie CB's he took.    If you're going to fire a GM, you do it after the season and before the draft and all that, not 8 days before training camp.   I hate the timing, and because of the timing, I can't see this as anything but an emotional move on JR's part without much thought.    Further emphasizing that belief, we go out and hire Hurney, self-proclaimed Mr. Emotional, to head this team in the "interim".

Agree with every word.

Refresh my memory... didn't Hurney throw a Brinks truck at Anderson in an extension?

Former Panthers GM Dave Gettleman Didn’t Fit Jerry Richardson’s System

Look at it this way,maybe if dg plays his cards right he can be in the building to see Steve Smith retire

Note:  If this scenario actually comes to pass, I'd like to think JR would be man enough to do the right thing and give Dave a SB ring and some credit for his efforts.

Gettleman already has 3 SB rings (one with Denver, two with NYG), I'm sure he doesn't need JR's pity sex.

Wanting this team to have the best chance of winning championships has apparently turned into a vice for some posters here.

It *is* a vice when you care more about Steve Smith and Deangelo Williams and Josh Norman's feelz.

excellent post frash. too bad that the unironic hurney nuthuggers are too stupid to read anything beyond 1st grade level and can only communicate in memes and gifs from the dubya administration

1. Peppers & Munnerlyn strengthen our defense, fill holes and bring ATTITUDE & HUNGER.

2. Bradberry & Worley no longer rookies.

3. Mike Adams > Tre Boston.  Coleman gets to move back to his better position.

4. Cam seeming focused & motivated.

5. CMC & Samuel.

6. New WR coaches, hopefully  light a fire under KB & Funch and help them overcome weaknesses.

7. New offensive guys may force Shula to modify his game plan, make us less predictable.

8. Competition at Kicker.

A lot of reasons to be excited...  Obviously MUCH depends on how O line gels and health of guys like Luke, and both Kalils.  But right now they all seem healthy.

Damn...the defense was awful because of injuries not because some dumb ass thought DG was gonna play games. I wouldn't kick a hog in the ass for all the loudmouth gum bumping self important egotistical "look at me" idiots in the NFL.

Good post OP.

Seems to me that the Hurney supporters care much more about the letters on the backs of the uniforms vs. the Panthers.
