What are your favorite Hurney memories?

[hepcat]

My faves....

Good:

Fleecing the Bears to get Greg Olsen for a 3rd round pick.

Drafting Cam Newton and Luke Kuechly in back to back drafts. 

Pretty much every 1st round pick Hurney has made has been money. Even Jeff Otah seemed promising at first until injuries and apathy derailed his career. 

Bad:

Hurney was so excited when he drafted Jimmy Clausen in the 2nd round of 2010, his hands were shaking. Rumor is Hurney almost traded away 2011's first round pick to trade up to get Clausen. Thank god he didn't, because who knows where the Panthers would be without Cam.

Trading away the 2010 first round pick to draft Everette Brown in the 2nd round in 2009, who was a borderline NFL prospect at best. The 2009 draft was an epic poo show for the Panthers.

Trading away a 2nd round pick in 2011 to draft local favorite Armanti Edwards, who was also a borderline NFL prospect. He was as slow as an offensive lineman.

Take away Cam Newton, the 2011 draft was one of the worst in Panthers history.

---------

Basically if Hurney stops re-signing players to massive contracts, and making bonehead trades in the draft and crippling the team leaving them without a 1st round pick for two consecutive years, the team *might* be okay.

Drafting Luke Kuechly.

Another fond memory was when all the Hurneyhaters who cried and cried about the Kuechly pick were made to eat crow and apologize.

And yet, they didn't learn their lesson, did they? On the same day Draft God is made permanent GM again, here they are, crying and crying.

Some people just hate winning.

In his first tenure as GM the panthers were 86-90. They had 3 winning seasons out of 11. You must have been the worst football coach in the history of the world if you consider that winning. Your username should probably be FiredCollegeCoachWhoCantGetAnotherJob

Ouch. I actually was fired from my last job - but honestly, that's how most of us go out. Part of the life. I had offers but honestly just didn't want to get back on the treadmill for another go. You have no idea how fuged up every part of that life is.

As for the record under Hurney, obviously that's not a winning record, but I think we all know there are other factors.

Well the kids are better off not being coached by someone who actually thinks Cam isn't a good QB and just a marketing tool.

Just popped in to see how many people would post this as their response. 

Not surprised
