Am I in the minority here or does Hurney pull the IR trigger way faster than Gettleman did?

 

Hard to say without knowing the details of the injury. I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't a joint decision with the coaching staff. Everyone knew he was a pretty raw prospect and he'd only played 9 snaps all season. Just give the guy a full redshirt season and try to use the roster spot on a guy who can contribute now.

Speaking of which... why is Colin Jones on the roster? Coleman gets hurt and we sign a safety out of free agency plus IR a 3rd round rookie DE so that we can elevate a PS safety to the active roster. It's obvious we don't want him seeing the field if at all possible, so why is he here?

He definitely does, but I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing. We did kind of need the roster spot for a safety and with Cox on the active roster and healthy there wasn't much opportunity for Hall to play.

Colin Jones is the single greatest special teams player of all time, didn’t you know?

Some of the painful truths of our roster coming to light.  Our DEs are not spring chickens.  We need to get replacements and soon so that hurts for Hall to lose those reps this year.  Safety has been stopgapped for awhile, an investment needs to be made there soon as well.

Special teams what?

1. 95% of kickoffs result in a touchback.

2. He's never blocked a FG.

3. [I dont have stats to back this up] But there can't be many teams with a worse punt return unit than ours.

4. That just leaves punt coverage. Does he really shine enough during those 4 plays per game (minus fair-catches) to take up a roster spot?

Everyone says "special teams", but Im still not entirely sure what he does well.

I dunno dude, maybe he has embarrassing photos of Rivera at the Christmas party.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
