Until he gives Tepper a reason to be fired, keep him along. I liked his moves this offseason.

I actually do too, but considering we play the Steelers this season, I don't know how wise it is to take advice on how to run our team from them.

Said it in the other thread. Most of us didn't expect him to come in and fire everybody immediately (granted, a few did).

The question will be how he feels after he's had time to work with them directly and see how they perform during the season.

Of the 3 ownership changes this past decade 2 kept their GM a year or 2 before making a change. I believe all 3 coincided with a coaching change but they may have been unrelated coinincidences. I believe it was the Browns where Haslam almost immediately shook thinks up. The Bills and Jags kept current GM a season or two.

If the Steeler way is Hurney love this will be interesting.

I don't mind this.  Hurney did a pretty good job in his first stint at GM as well, until JR had his heart transplant.  Then we stopped signing veteran FAs, started making questionable trades and gave out big contracts in what looked like a "desperate to win now" strategy that led to the abortion of a 2010 season.  

I know we'll never really know for sure, but I think the last three GMs for our franchise were largely Hurney 1.0, Jerry Richardson, and Dave Gettleman.  And as soon as DG had some real success, JR got involved again and fired him.

Mind you, this is just me and my tin-foil hat speculating.  And always use tin, that aluminum crap doesn't block anything.

Hey, if I were competing against the Panthers, I'd give Marty Hurney glowing reviews too.

Realistically though, Marty is a pretty nice guy. The Rooneys likely know him via Richardson, so this is logical.

Seeing how he runs things up close, on the other hand...oy.

It's been discussed elsewhere that you don't have to come in and fire current personnel immediately. You can fill open positions like team president, assistant GM or whatever other title you want to create without firing a single person.

That sort of approach would make the transition easier but still keep "your people" in the right places.

So, we never replaced Danny Morrison, right? Name Omar Kahn as President of Football Operations and have Hurney report to him? Does that leave the question of what happens with Tina Becker?

That's the kind of approach I've been talking about recently (Woodie too).

Lot of people have speculated that Becker will be gone sooner rather than later.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Icege · Posted

      WR: Nico, Woods, Tank (R) TE: Schultz OL: Tunsil/Howard/Deiter/Mason/Fant vs. WR: Chark, Thielen, Mingo (R) TE: Hurst OL: Icky/Zavala (R)/Bozeman/Jensen (R)/Moton   Panthers' had the better OL before losing BC week 1 and AC week 4 which is kind of ironic considering how in the following year DB went down in W1 and Shaq in W4 resulting in the defense going all to Hell. CJ has done amazing in Houston, but he also wasn't asked to carry Zavala, Jensen, Mingo, Hurst, and Chark as a rookie.

      Past 5 seasons, IMO CJ Stroud and Joe Burrow are the 2 best young QBs that have emerged in the league in that window.  They also didn’t need vets to be their primary pass catchers.  They helped fellow youngsters be great at WR.   almost all the other young QBs have been paired up with vets in their top options….and haven’t been as promising.  so it isn’t Madden.  But the league hasn’t played out as you suggest it does.   Good QBs make others around them better.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      In 2023 their roster wasn’t stacked. They nailed the poo out of the 2023 draft and since they knew Davis Mills wasn’t the guy, they tanked properly to get pick 2. They also took Cleveland’s ridiculous offer for Watson unlike us with Burns. Houston received enough draft capital to jump up to 3 while picking up the right guys in Anderson and Stroud. The Texans were not stacked or better than us in 2023. They had 11 total wins from 2020 to 2022. They didn’t have a terrible front office so they made sure they got their QB of the future while tanking well and getting more draft picks. They are a textbook study of what we should have done in 2022/2023 offseason even though people in here still think tanking is a bad word and our culture would be bad if we were the Texans. We literally had the chance to be the Texans right now and fuged it up.
