Tina Becker being in on it is likely just a rubber stamp for Richardson.

If Ron Rivera is part of it, and I expect he will be, we know from his own words that he'll favor Hurney (and it's not like Rivera makes the greatest decisions when it comes to hiring people anyway).

I'd take the process a lot more seriously if it involved someone from outside the organization, but that's not likely.

I'm hopeful that an actual qualified candidate is selected, but I can't help feeling like this is all just a show and we'll wind up with Hurney in the end.

Prove me wrong, Panthers.

While I still think the process is going to be rigged for Marty Hurney, this is at least potentially good news.

 

I thought so too.  I am not buying the Marty 2.0 crap.  It was my opinion  that he started mortgaging the future to save his job before getting canned---that is a character issue.  Secondly, he always drafted a safe pick in the first round. Finally, there were positions he would ignore or suck at drafting--like DT, WR (Jarrett, Colbert, etc) , and I don't recall many DBs that made me squirm with outright joy.

Hurney probably ain't going to make the cut, guys.  It appears that "interim" really meant interim. 

The only way I see this being the case is if new ownership is already basically decided upon behind the scenes and is giving their okay on this search. If not, I have to think there's a really good chance that new ownership will bounce whoever and put the people of their choosing in place.

This whole thing is looking more and more like it's a last ditch effort to go all in to get a title for JR and his cronies.  The only reason they are doing this at all is because by rule they have to.  The panel will in the end select Hurney.

Then Hurney will have free reign to do whatever it takes to make sure they win it all with the next two years.  Cap be damned. 

I would bet my left nut that old Jerry has already set this up with the next owner.  Except for wrecking the cap part that is, the new owner will find that out later.

      In all honesty, he should probably get that checked out. It might be (Arnold Schwarzenegger voice) "a tuuumaaa"

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      I've seen the comp a few times, and I feel there is a lot to it. Our situation is a lot like Kansas City was pre-Mahomes (without the HOF HC) Whether you like them or not, D&D are building something here.  They had a strong draft.  The team is slowly coming together, developing some identity, and has some decent blue chip parts.  Brown, Horn, McMillan, and a good OL situation that we should keep fortifying every year.  It's not much yet, but growing.    Bryce is in that Alex Smith spot.  A top draft pick, has never been overly impressive, but you can win games when he's safe with the ball.  You're not winning because of him - maybe once in a blue moon.  From time to time he's shown the ability to orchestrate some plays and lead drives.  I just don't see anything that is like - "oh snap, yeah don't let him go, he's ours".  He'll make a solid/good throw every now and again, but man, it is a struggle a lot of the time to watch.  Some terrible performances to speak of, heck he's already been benched once during year 2.      He should in no way preclude you from flirting with what else is out there.  This is not a marriage.  If you're in position (or trade range) for a guy you REALLY like come draft day, you shoot your shot. If we are in the draft process, and suddenly realize QB3-4 is a guy we really like, that's when you make a modest jump from like 16 to 11 or something like that.  Just like the Bills did for Allen, like the Chiefs did for Mahomes.  This is nothing magical that plants this franchise savior title on them, this is not some stupid trade-- it's an easy trade up to get a guy you like w/a big ceiling.  It's all player dependent and coaching/development driven.  If we don't like a QB, by all means fortify the front-7, get an awesome OLB or ILB prospect.   But we're on year 3, you kind of know what you're getting at this point.  Mostly sub-200 yard performances, low YPA, bad technique, poor mechanics, some decent stuff sprinkled in, but some bad turnover heavy ones that kill the team's momentum.  Again, run with him if there's no complete disaster that happens the remainder of the season, but don't close the door on something better just because of the investment or debatable performances.
