Hurney in all his years as GM has never managed to draft a decent # 1 wide receiver.

 

He drafted Steve Smith.

None have been as successful as the 2001 draft. You can argue against that, and some no doubt will. But in a court of law, you'd probably be declared wrong based on the evidence.

The Panthers' first three picks in 2001 were linebacker Dan Morgan from Miami (Fla.), defensive tackle Kris Jenkins from Maryland and a wide receiver/kick returner from Utah by the name of Steve Smith. The oddity of the draft was that although it produced three of the best players in team history - a trio that would be key to Carolina's Super Bowl run two years later - they all were rookies on the worst team in franchise history that went 1-15.

Although head coach George Seifert still had the final say in all personnel matters, virtually all of the planning and execution for the 2001 draft was done by director of football operations Marty Hurney and director of player personnel Jack Bushofsky.

I’m telling you guys the sale has been put together already. 

Yes, let's just ignore the fact that the Panthers indicated the search for new ownership wouldn't begin until the current season ended.

Or, that NFL owners need to review and approve any transfer of the franchise to new ownership.

If Rivera is extended, it is nothing more than another typical bone headed move by Marty Hurney.

Can you read?

http://m.panthers.com/news/article-2/2001-draft-yields-bumper-crop/6b30146c-19a3-424d-9e78-0424c302100c

Can you?

From the article you just linked:

"It was a good draft. And actually Jack Bushofsky was in charge of that draft. I love Jack, and I can talk about it - but that really was Jack's draft," said Hurney."

And this...

"Head coach George Seifert still had the final say in all personnel matters."

So if Hurney admits "that was Jack's draft" and George Seifert had "final say", what exactly did Hurney do again?

Hurney then went ten years without being able to successfully draft a second wide receiver to complement Steve Smith, much less replace him. 

The article you posted claims the 2001 draft was the best the Panthers ever had.  If that is to be believed, then the 10 years of subsequent drafts where Hurney actually had the final say must have been inferior... and they were.

There's something called being humble.
