Thank God they made the right call on this one instead of reaching for the shiny new object just because the media wants it.

Hurney is a HoF GM and #8 out of 90 modern GMs in drafting acumen. He is beloved throughout the organization, and it was tragic to see him nearly felled by false accusations.

Honestly, this forum needs a full purge of the dead-enders who are so locked into their Gettleboy fandom that they have begun rooting against the Panthers.

Send them all to a Giants forum; they'll be happier there.

I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not.....

I'm ok with this. New owner will probably bring in own GM next year.

 

So he make sense for a 1 year fix.

I wouldn't call what Hurney is likely to do a "fix".

just gotta hope he learned from his mistakes. he was responsible for trading KB correct? if so, i like what he has done so far. 

The problem was never that he made mistakes. The problem was that he didn't know what he was doing. He's never been a scout and doesn't know how to do talent evaluation, something that's crucial to success as a general manager.

You don't gain the equivalent of 20 years scouting experience working at a radio station.

And you can f*cking quote me on this: We WILL win Super Bowl LIII. 

Unless we do something magical this offseason (and so far we definitely aren't), and with as much change that's going on in the organization, i see this being a down year. New system that not everyone will click with. Loss of DC and OC (who did suck) but still there's an adjustment. If we go 6-10 new owner would probably be willing to eat Ron's contract and start from scratch. The window is closing, much like Seattle's.

I agree, but those would be his mistakes. Needs to put better staff in place to handle what he cant. At this point, its like your presidential candidate lost. We cannot hope he fails (and I don't think you hope he fails).

Geebus....  Saw it coming a mile away.  Still annoying though.

A load of people said immediately after he was named interim GM that they knew it wasn't going to be temporary.

Probably would have been easier if the Panthers hadn't teased us by actually bringing in qualified candidates, but hey...

What still makes me shake my head more than anything is that the people running the team actually seem to believe they can fool people when everyone sees through them so easily.

This team's total lack of self-awareness is utterly pathetic.

      Some Tet appreciation

      He has a lot to work on for sure but he has been a huge boost to the offense. It's nice to finally have an elite WR.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By strato · Posted

      We have been on that roller coaster ride already. He needs to have streaks far longer than a couple of good games.  People raved about the Green Bay game in 2023. Which was mostly a good 2nd half and hot 4th quarter.  Ask me what happened the next four games, if you don’t remember. or just go look them up. There isn’t much to see.  The end of last year had some good things and one excellent outing, and look up what followed that, which you won’t have to but he came out this year looking like week 1 2023.  Now he is on a game and a half streak, against a bad Miami team and lowest rated defense in the league - at home.  This is the reality in the big picture. He needs to break his pattern, in a positive way.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This "noodle arm" characterization just baffles me. There's way more involved in a successful downfield passing attack than simple air yards. Let's take two stat-lines for throws of 40+ air yards (no YAC) from the last 3 seasons: 5/29 (17%) for 3 TDs and 2 INTs 1/9 (11%) for 1 TD So with three times the number of attempts, you net +6% completion percentage, the same TD rate, and 2 arm punt INTs to boot. The first player is Mahomes, the second is Bryce. Clearly Bryce attempts these throws at a much lower rate, but his success rate is quite similar to one of the most talented downfield throwers of all time. The takeaway isn't that Bryce is Mahomes-lite (if he was his usage rate for these would be much higher) but that these throws by their very nature are extremely difficult, very scheme-specific, and even an elite thrower can have wildly differing success rates season by season. And before we get into the complaints of cherry-picking, this is far more substantial information than the various insinuations that Bryce struggles to even get the ball 20 yards downfield, much less 40+. And the wildest part of this is that every time Mahomes threw a bomb over the last 3 season, 83% of the time the end result was failure, yet many Chiefs fans complain that he isn't taking even more shots downfield.
