Bet she got paid.

Sad. Get a grip. These accusations were bullsh*t from the start and that was clear as day to every single logical person looking at the situation. I don't like Hurney at all and I want him as far the fug away from the Panthers as soon as possible. But not if it is a result of serious injustice.

Sure they do. But it's repeated mistakes that tank franchises that get GMs fired and that's why Hurney got fired. Just look at his final three drafts. Just atrocious.

His drafting overall was not good but the cap situation is what got him fired, not his drafting.

I’d rather the dude here that is all about 10 TE sets run our draft than Hurney. At least we know we’ll probably get one good player and keep all our picks for next year. 

If Hurney runs the draft this year it's pretty damn certain we'll get a stud in the first round... After that, I wouldn't get my hopes up. But maybe we can get another Josh or Hardy.

We had a chance to hire a guy with potential to be a great GM.

Instead, we're stuck with a guy we already know is a lousy GM.

Jerry Richardson can't be gone soon enough.

We haven't hired Hurney as full time GM.

Most teams that are going to flout the Rooney Rule do so by "interviewing" one internal, sort of qualified minority employee and then hiring the guy everybody knew they were going to hire. 

People grumble, but there's rarely all that much of a fuss. The Panthers could have pretty easily gone that route with Don Gregory.

But oh no, that's not good enough for us.

Instead, we're going to jerk around three very highly qualified minority candidates from around the country for a couple of weeks and then turn around and spit in their faces. Then we'll hire a guy who most teams wouldn't even look at as a scout to run the whole football operation.

This team, I swear...

It's about time you take a break man. Wow. Sad.

Just heard about this on NFL Live this morning... almost burnt my crotch with scalding hot coffee.

Told my wife if he is given the permanent job the Panthers will go straight to Hell. Our only hope is that whoever we get as a new owner/owners actually looks at the Huddle and gets rid of him.

So an interim GM in a contentious divorce was found not to have committed the accusations she claimed. Big deal. And maybe Hurney gets to do this draft and free agency which have already been largely arranged for before new ownership rides in and picks their guy. And Richardson is a dirty old white guy who is selling his team which we have known was coming for years.

The angst here is being generated by a handful of hysterics with all kind of conspiracy theories and speculations. I can't tell if it for attention or what but the sky is not falling and when the dust settles we will be fine.

    • Love the Freeling pick even more after watching his pressers. Dude is sharp and definitely seems to have the right mentality. I loved hearing how personal he took having a bad game with a torn labrum and instead of seeing that as the reason for his bad game and not changing anything, it motivated him to work even harder. Such a great pick, we finally got our all pro level LT for the next decade and now we can move Ickey to RT or guard with no hurt feelings due to his injury. Second favorite pick is probably Brazzell. He said he false started on his 40 and it cost him probably 0.04 seconds, so he’s more of a 4.33 guy rather than 4.37. Really Randy Moss lite. I didn’t know anything about him prior to drafting him and first highlight reel I saw of him I immediately thought he looked like Moss. Then I saw the measurables and was like yep. Then I see that he’s drawn that comparison by many scouts and analysts. If he can add consistency and play to the level of his highlights every play then we got an incredible value.
    • During his three years at UGA he only allowed 5 sacks. He is only 21 and is on an upward trajectory. He's a great athlete that was good basketball player in high-school.  His height (76% how is this only 76%???? these guys are giants now), hands (81%), span (99%), speed (96%), quickness (10 yd. 86%), and explosiveness (vert. 96%, broad 97%) are all outstanding.  When we took Freeling, Fano, Mauioga, Proctor, and Miller were all off the board so we could have drafted Iheanachor or Lomu instead or waited to the second or third round to take Bell, Tiernan or Barber or wait even longer.  A lot of these tackles (including the first two taken) project to right tackle or guard in the NFL and that's not what we needed now.  Freeling has some sloppiness to clean up in his run blocking, but he's young and getting better.  We can let him get experience behind Walker and Moton knowing if he has to replace one of the two this year, his pass blocking won't get Bryce killed. Icky's not coming back from that injury as a nfl starting left tackle and Moton is in the twilight of his career.  If Walker has a great year, we will have to pay him a lot and if he is medicore we would want to let him walk.  Getting a LT on a rookie contract is going to help a lot with the cap.    
    • It was cool but they have done this at least in recent years unless I am imagining it
