Hurney and rewarding players for past performance.

Hurney said today Gano's contract was in part reward for what he has done in the years he has been here.

What are your general thoughts on giving players money for how well they played here over the past several years? Didn't this mind set get the Panthers in cap hell pretty quickly?

You don't pay guys this year and next year for what they did last year.  That's what their previous years' paydays were for.  Prior year's performances are only relevant toward predicting what they'll do in the future.

The average GM probably has a crystal ball, a ouija board, a set of tarot cards and a psychic friend on speed dial because their job is basically to try and predict the future.

He set himself up to get flamed by the huddle with that quote. 

In reality the Gano extension pales in comparison to the bad extensions he signed in the past. 

So far he's quietly done an acceptable job so far. He's made the necessary cut's, has not thrown stupid money at Norwell or Star that we know of and did not tag either of them.

You don't pay them for what they've done, that's stupid.

Instead you either sign washed-up free agents or hand a massive contract to a horrible left tackle who was really bad on another team.

Actually, you do pay them for what they have done, albeit with the hope that they are going to continue to do it.  When Cam got his new contract, he got it on the strength of what he had done.  And the hope he would continue to do it and maybe improve.

    • PJ's completion % was 63% when starting games in Carolina.  Which I believe is better than Bryce when starting.  And again, 4-3 as the starter here and the LONE QB Carolina has been able to actually win with in the Tepper era.  If you ask a gambling gunslinger to come into blowouts.....they are going to go down in a blaze of glory.  Which he would do.  Yeah, he isn't good.  And gunslingers are supposed to have rockier stats than checkdown QBs.   So....why does PJ Walker have a better comp % as a starter than Bryce Young.  And for every knock you want to make about PJ, you can find something or a skillset that PJ does better than Bryce.   I didn't say PJ had good field vision.  He doesn't.  Tell me about Bryce after he comes off the first read lol.  Let me repeat, PJ Walker is not a good QB.  He is NFL depth and an in house arm.  Bryce Young doesn't belong in a convo w/ Jake and Cam.  He belongs closer in a convo with the backup caliber QBs Carolina was forced into playing.  Which isn't just PJ Walker.  But Kyle Allen.  Moore.  Guys like that.   
    • Oh I see what you meant by memory. I will trust my memory, I have looked a a lot of those ball charts for Bryce and they trend a general pattern. They thing that has changed that I have noticed more recently is the reduction in the bunching of behind or at  the LOS passes over to his right.  Aside from the quantity of throws recently since the running game has become a more dominant factor. 
    • Yes but you basically said you are going from a quick skim of those charts without doing the same for Bryce and/or Andy. So you are going memory vs. snapshots. That's not going to be a very comprehensive analysis.
