Give me a good reason, one logical reason, why the Panthers should opt to keep Marty Hurney over a guy like Lake Dawson.

Rivera knows him well and works well with him.  Who knows how Rivera working with a new guy will work out.  Might be the same, better, or a complete nightmare for the team.

Just stop saying stupid things and you will feel less lowly--you were never common.  You claim to be a Panther fan and attack those who are.   Probably just a personality disorder, but you are not my problem--

stop shoveling your crap the mushrooms are full already...

Rivera and Jimmy Raye worked together successfully for several years in San Diego. Ditto Norv Turner.

As to someone new possibly being bad, they possibly might also be good. We already know that Hurney is bad so that's not a question.

not that I want him particularly, but there are logical reasons to keep him for the moment.

While I think we'd all like a new set of eyes, we are getting SUPER close to Free Agency with some major decisions to make and our college scouts are working overtime right now.  Is it the worst to go into 2018 with Hurndog while the new ownership group makes their decisions on how they want to run the team?

Not that would be GMs haven't studied the teams they interviewed, and are already in their own scouting for the draft.  There's the personality and philosophy mix that would have to be navigated.

I'm not adverse to a new GM; I just wish they would make a decision one way or another asap.

They have until the 20th. We have to have a GM per the CBA by tag time. 

Also that all but means no Marty unless the the NFL wraps up their investigation by then. 

I expect to see an appointee this week, even if it’s a figurehead.

Cool, did not know about the date.

I'll take anyone so we can actually celebrate and complain about them!

don't count him out yet... the fast track  means it could go either way...I don't think it would be near as bad as the Hurney doomsday brigade claims it would be...but the meltdown would be delicious here on the huddle...more and more I am leaning towards wanting him back

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
