That Hurney was willing to trade a future first believing that Clausen was a franchise quarterback isn't what bothers me the most.

That he actually believed Clausen was a franchise quarterback is what scares me.

Every team in the league passed on Clausen, including two QB needy teams and the frigging Cleveland Browns.  Our GM was the only one dumb enough to not only take him, but to try to use extra picks to trade up. Throw in that he fell for some misinformation from the Colts that wound up leading him to trade a high pick for Armanti Edwards.

If stuff like that doesn't tell people why Hurney shouldn't be in the drivers seat, I don't know what will.

 Believe it or not every GM in the NFL makes mistakes in the draft......

are we really splitting hairs about if Hurney would've traded up for Clausen after the debacle trade he made for ARMANTI EDWARDS???

Hurney was an awful GM and there is no evidence to suggest he will be any different after being on the couch for the past five years.

Per MHS, the primary reason he made that trade was because of some misinformation from the Colts indicating that they planned to take him.

Stuff like that gets floated around the draft all the time. The idea is to be smart enough not to fall for it. Hurney wasn't that smart.

What's become increasingly clear is that a lot of the league viewed the Panthers as suckers. That rep remained firmly in place a year after Hurney was fired. Another team called offering to trade their second for our next year's first. Gettleman laughed and hung up on them.

Now that Hurney's back, looks like the gift shop is open again.

“We also requested an interview with Mr. Hurney's former wife, which was declined through her attorney,'' McCarthy said.

Bet she got paid.

Gettleman was, in fact he owned the draft.

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.

Two different people with inside sources confirm that he did. One of those sources was Brandon Beane.

I'm calling BS on this. Show me the quote of BB saying it happened.  And who was the other "source"?  More of your anonymous "insider" information no doubt.

Yeah, that's a really ugly look for us, especially given the Richardson investigation.

Who cares how it looks ? Ugly looks never stopped the Patriots from winning the super bowl 5 times in 15 years.

Even if Hurney is hired he won't be here long if the new owner/owners don't want him.

There may be a stipulation by JR if the new owner that buys team will state "Before you sign paperwork you must accept Hurney as the GM (cannot fire him)  or paperwork will be null and void.

I'm done. Thanks for the fun.
