Hurney and rewarding players for past performance.

[Jeremy Igo]

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?

[Krovvy]

We should award players with "potential". Where's the next Russel Shepard?

Lol...same old dumbass Hurney.

Keep polishing that turd boys.

Isn't that normally how players get more money?  Play well?  I don't see anything wrong with players earning a bigger pay day.

[L-TownCat]

Classic Hurn-dog.  This is not gonna go well for us fans.

The argument would hold more water if he wasn’t coming off his best year as a pro (50+ yarders or not). You have to take past years into account for sure but the most recent year is most important imo. 

[Carl Spackler]

Do you reward players for future performance?

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.

[Davidson Deac II]

Dont care as long as by past, he means last year.

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.
