Panthers interim general manger Marty Hurney, on paid administrative leave while the NFL investigates a claim of harassment by his ex-wife, will meet with the league on Friday. Former New York City prosecutor Lisa Friel, who handles such issues for the league, has been assigned the case. Hurney's ex-wife has withdrawn the complaint, but the league still is conducting its own investigation. Hurney is one of four candidates being considered for the fulltime GM job.

Seriously the league needs to fast track this. Considering the allegations, the situation and the relationship this should be easy to figure out. We need a GM now him or someone else. The quicker they wrap this up the faster we get a GM.

The league only has to wrap this up quickly if you want to hire Hurney.

His being under investigation doesn't stop the Panthers from naming somebody else the GM.

Correct but let's all be honest, They're going to hire Hurney if they can get away with it. So for the Panthers sake and having a good draft, hopefully this is quick.

I wonder if this meeting has anything to do with the hire.  

What if the league speaks with him and believes that the EX is only causing fake news issues and drop the case and he is made permanent GM contrary to what Jason C. reported.

I fully expect that to happen because LaCanfra is a hack. The moment he said we were getting an outside GM it was set in stone it would be Hurney.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      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.
