A photo of all 31 other GM’s appeared from the league meetings today and Hurney was not there. Turns out he headed to the Arkansas pro day instead.

Presumably getting a first hand look at Frank Ragnow. According to PFF Ragnow played over 2600 snaps, only allowed 27 pressures and 0 Sacks.

By contrast Billy Price played just over 3800 Snaps and allowed 55 hurries and 12 Sacks.

Found that tidbit on here: http://m.panthers.com/news/article-2/A-tale-of-two-centerguards/c31a2440-e65f-437c-a1ae-1f0e22b50d28

States that he only allowed 3 pressures over 488 snaps last year before going down with an ankle injury that cut his season short.

Seems as if Ragnow could play guard for a year and then slide into the center Role once R Kalil retires next year if we end up going that route.

Unless a highly publicized smoke screen

I think I like Marty's priorities. He seems to understand that with a new owner coming in, his job is dependent on him nailing the draft.  Keep it up HurnDog.  A good draft and you'll make believers out of those of us who have been skeptical.

Let’s be real. Hurney has no desire to be in a room with a bunch of GMs who think he weaseled his way into this job. Maybe it’ll be a good thing...focus on football and not other crap. 

I VERY seriously doubt other GMs give a damn how Hurney got his job.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
