Do y'all think JR would just hand the GM job back to Hurney?

[Pimpdaddy]

...trust and baleed that sht...

If he does, I hope he enjoys seeing Bank of America Stadium even more empty than it already gets.

[SOJA]

the truth is Richardson made an illogical, emotional decision when he fired gettleman. Illogical because it was days before the season started AND we had a competent GM just a few months prior on roster. Emotional because it obviously involved Gettleman's "impasse" attitude toward veterans.

 

What makes anyone believe he would behave any differently when it comes season's end and he has to relieve Hurney of his GM duties? Sounds like he would illogically believe Hurney is a good choice to be GM and emotionally be invested in his friendship with him

Time will tell us what is going to happen, but none of the parties involved will probably tell us anything about the whys.

The idea that any of us have the business smarts or understanding that Jerry Richardson does is pretty asinine, though. There are a number here who think he is a doddering old fool with no understanding of the principals of management, business, professional football or even human resources. 

Luckily, they consume his product rather than the other way around.

Good post.  At the end of the day, this is a business, one that makes and is worth tons of $$, win or lose.

Hurney made more than mistakes with contracts like putting us in a cap hell hole that lasted for good while and slowly fixed that ridiculous unnecessary mistake.

Those are the same things

The common denominator when it comes to this franchise mediocrity

JR

 

Hurney might be back or he might not, but if JR doesn't hire another consultant or get some outside help with the GM search, it's not going to matter. He's not a very good owner.

[DaveThePanther2008]

Please stop with the Hurney finding good players bit.  His track record for first rounders is pretty good but after that it was a crap shoot.   Might as well trade away any pick in the 2nd round because he was terrible in 2nd round picks.   He tried his damnest and nearly succeeded in trading away the rights to Cam for Pickles.  

GMs around the NFL must laugh at us.  All they gotta do is put some BS offer on the table and Hurney is going to take it.

Maybe he learned his lesson and god I hope so if we go back to his BS as a GM.   If he retains Rivera and Shula after the season my interest in this team will deflate.   

We are wasting the talents of a QB that under a great offensive mind might have already won the SB a couple of times.

Do y'all think JR would just leave the NFL shield at mid-field?

[Jeremy Igo]

Hurney's GM search.... 

 

[Jmac]

Hurney isnt going anywhere. D.G. probably didn't like JR trying to impose his will on him. JR got his hand puppet back to do his bidding. Makes me sick. Only this team would bring back a zero that put them in the toilet to begin with.

Marty Hurney's hits - Julius Peppers, Will Witherspoon, Jordan Gross, Chris Gamble, Travelle Wharton, Thomas Davis, Evan Mathis, Deangelo Williams, James Anderson, Jon Beason, Ryan Kalil, Charles Johnson, Jonathan Stewart, Gary Barnidge, Captain Munnerlyn, Greg Hardy, Josh Norman, Cam Newton, Luke Kuechly, 

 

Gettleman's hits - Star Lotuleilei, Kawaan Short, Trai Turner, James Bradberry. 

 

There is a massive discrepancy there. Hurney may not have hit every single time but goddamnit he could find superstars. Every single one of my favorite players in Panthers history are a part of the team because of Hurney, except for Steve Smith.

Seriously?  James Anderson, Barnidge, Mathis.

Do you remember how long Hurney was drafting for us?  Do you remember the 2nd round draft picks?

Hurney was average in the draft, and awful with roster management and salary cap management...you know, some of the most important traits of a good GM.

Hurney is, and will continue to be an awful GM.

Was DG perfect?  Hell no, but he was worlds better than Hurney for this team.

[trueblade]

Can we maybe archive the Hurney v. Gettlemen debate somewhere. I feel like it gets rehashed over and over.

Because Devin Funchess and Kony Ealy are lighting the world on fire!

 

poo, Dave couldn't even hit big on 1st round picks.

KB and Star are about as big a "hit" as you can get where we were drafting those years.

Shaq was a Ron pick, his defense needs cover LB's to work, and everyone though TD was on his last leg.

Butler, a pick I didn't like, is still young, and could pay dividends if we can't retain Star (different player I know)

 

Funchess is a starter on this team, Ealy started in the Super Bowl.  Left out Short and Bradberry on your 2nd rounders huh...was that on purpose, or just an oversight?

Hurney had 11 drafts here, produced 1 longterm starter in the 2nd round....1.

DG was here for 5, and produced 2 already, and possibly 3 if Funch can stay on track.

 

[Smithers]

I firmly believe that JR will explore all options and interview some of the youngest, brightest potential GM's out there.  I think having Hurney on board with the search will be a huge asset as well. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh who am I kidding.  Hurney is our GM and we are fugged (except for 1st round picks...we are good there).
