Hurney "isn't sure" he's only interim

Hurney said on PFT Live that he isn’t sure if he’ll become the Panthers’ G.M. on a permanent basis in 2018 and beyond, or if he’ll move aside for some fresh blood when this season ends.

“One day at a time, that’s how this business is,” Hurney said. “Right now that’s the job and anybody who has done this job knows you have to have a very short memory, and while you have to have a long-term view, I think you still have to take it day-to-day.”

In other words, if the Panthers have a good season and Hurney is credited for making good personnel moves in his brief tenure as the “interim” G.M., it’s possible the can have the “interim” title removed. It’s also possible that Hurney will step down at the end of the season, in which case he said he’d be ready to help Panthers owner Jerry Richardson identify the right candidate to take on the job for the long term.

This isn't news, unfortunately.

His acknowledgement of it is.

It tells me that at the very least he's open to the possibility if Richardson wants it, and we know Richardson nearly always makes the wrong decision on these things.

If you wanna read more into it, then it's possible to believe the decision is already made and Marty is just being discreet.

The thing to watch will be if there's an actual GM search or they just go through the motions.

All depends how our season goes

I'm not even sure it matters.

I honestly think that what it really depends on is how Jerry Richardson likes the feelings and the atmosphere inside the building.

We could have an absolute s--t season and I'm confident he'd find a way to blame it on other factors and say that he still trusts Marty to "right the ship".

Think of it this way...

If results are really the most important thing, then why was the GM who led this team to its most successful stretch fired and replaced by the guy who presided over one of its worst?

The fact that this happened in the first place makes it clear that winning is not the most important factor.

      The Panthers win streak is masking substandard quarterback play

      By Diehardpanth02 · Posted

      He’s been every bit as much of the problem as anyone else. You cant remove him from that fact, he is just as much part of the team and in THE most important position on the field. But this is the first season he’s seen any kind of continuity in his team and coaches. And he’s shown flashes here and there. But we do need more out of him going forward a lot more if we are going to be successful

      Bryce isn’t great and super mid. But I think can be a game manager. What do we think is out there? Daniel Jones isn’t going anywher. Mac Jones? Zach Wilson? Pickett. I’m just not sure what’s out there that is much better without having to give up a ton of capital. Rather take one more step closer to contention with our early rounders next year with FS and LB help. Make this  place where dang they got a defense and a WR1 and solid RB room. I can win with that and want to be here

      Vet QB Options - Trade/Cut/FA Edition

      AR15 is if Justin Fields was fragile and his teammates hated him. No thanks. Ya'll think you hate watching Bryce Young? Wait until your QB can't even complete a 7 yard pass over the middle, which Fields and Richardson can't do. If the draft class was better, I could absolutely see the Titans moving on from Ward already if they got the #1 pick. But so far the college QB's haven't impressed enough. They'll have flashes, but then follow it up with a very meh game. Kyler is already done in Arizona, but he has a ridiculous contract and he's basically Bryce that likes to scramble, so no thanks. If Lawrence can't produce with that team in Jacksonville, what do you think he'll do here? He's tall Bryce who can throw deep but can't make the 4th down throws and crumbles in the red zone. No thanks. I do think Canales wants to move on from Bryce, his body language says so even in wins. He treated Bryce pretty odd this week and Bryce looked checked out in the Packers game. But unless they make another risky trade, its going to be slim pickings. Basically our hopes lie in hitting early in the draft with a Mateer, Nussmeier, Beck type or finding a random backup free agent that has another gear to hit.  I think even with the draft being wishy washy, 4-5 QB's will be taken in the top 7. A lot of teams are just that desperate.
