This would literally be the one of the worst decisions in the history of football.  His evaluation skill is his week point.

I don't like Hurney as a GM. I do like Hurney as a person. I think he would actually be great in Morrison's old role. 

 

But I said this before Hurney was even hired. Don't sleep on Hurney being a candidate for the GM job and don't sleep on Jerry Richardson making an asinine decision to hire him. 

Won't feel good about this whole situation until the ink is dry on a new GM.

God I hope not, RR has not shown himself to be a competent coach consistently.  He does not need additional responsibilities. 

Pssssst... Pop?  After reading any sanjay post, I highly recommend one of these:

For your own sanity.

It has been speculated, but nothing concrete points that way. 

 

We do know that Hurney wants the GM job. That is what he enjoys. 

 

I don't think he would be quite so happy managing the front office types. 

we also know that anybody that wants the panthers to win and has a brain doesn't want hurney anywhere near the GM job

But what if I LOVE certain vets on the team, and want them extended no matter what the cap implications, and don't care about the bottom half of the roster, nor understand how to actually scout players into certain schemes?

Can I want Hurney then?

Hurney is in a unique situation. Maybe he has had time to grow and reflect on what lead to his ultimate failure as our GM. How many people get the chance to leave a job, take multiple years off away from the NFL, then step back into the exact same position you were fired from? I can't think of this ever happening before....maybe, hopefully Hurney has learned from his past failures.

 

Or maybe he's about to sign Greg Olsen to a 6 year 87 million dollar extension.

    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it. 
    • If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
