Is Hurney next to get the boot?

How many think he will be here next season, regardless of his moves since being re-hired? His close relationship with the previous owner may seal his fate. The whole rehire was bizarre and unprecedented.

 Tepper would like to put his stamp on the team and being forced to keep that statue at the stadium, I'm sure pisses him off. Opinions........

Ole Hurn Dog has nothing to do with the statue, but nice to see that everything keeps coming back to that, also, nice to see somebody besides Trump being blamed for everything...

But more on point, Tepper does not seem like the kind of guy to fire somebody without cause, or because of a nonrelated issue. I think Tepper gives Hurney enough rope to hang himself with and will make a move if needed.

  He shouldn’t be judged by just one off-season anyway, good or bad. Even after the season, draft picks and FA signees “status” could change dramatically. Can’t fully judge a draft after one year. Remember how good the 2014 draft looked after one year. 2015 looked bad after 2 years. Now it’s pretty good. 

  When you have a long resume for someone you’re evaluating, you don’t just look at the last job. I would ask why you were fired from this exact job before? What did you do to improve your skills in between the time you were fired then re-hired? Were you offered a similar position with another organization?

Hurney did get Cam weapons but crapped the bed for our offensive line.

I’d say he should get part of the blame if the Panthers stagger.

Totally off base unless you think Hurney should have replaced Ryan. Losing Norwell was Gettleman's fault for not locking him up sooner if anyones fault and Gettleman also signed Kalil. With the little cap space we had, we had few moves we could make with so many defensive and offensive holes to fill at other positions.

I don't see anyone on the football side being dumped this season, but to be clear, executives are not as safe as coaching staff.

It'd be an awful lot of trouble to replace a coach this time of year. An executive, even a GM, not as much.

Barring a losing season (at least one without a playoff appearance that is), Hurney's job is safe. And the guy is doing a good job so far.

I'm not sure anyone could fix a lack of offensive weapons AND the offensive line in the same off-season with the money he had available. He fixed the weapons first and if they work, they should give Cam quicker outs and relieve some of the pressure on the o-line.

Neither do I. I do think the coaching staff has a bit longer leash than anyone else, but I also think Tepper, while willing to be patient, absolutely will not sit around listening to the same song and dance. Consistent winning is what he wants and repeating our historical pattern will not be acceptable to him.

So crap on Hurney, but Give Gettleman a pass? Come on SACA, Gettleman is long gone. There's no need to defend him anymore. The O-line is largely his fault. There's little that Hurney could have done about the O-line this season.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      He has rarely been aggressive enough to be considered a gunslinger type player. The guy he is describing is Pat Mahomes-esque and I doubt any of us see that in Bryce.  When the play is breaking down or he bails on the play, how often are we really seeing him laser it into a tight window? How about scramble long enough to get someone breaking free and then hitting them? I remember that far less, although I am not sitting down to look at all 2.5 years of data, than I am checkdowns, throw aways, off target passes, scrambles, etc.

      Wow this is some crazy nonsense. First, he doesn't have problems picking up the ball on quick slants or screens, go back and watch the replays, you can clearly see him start to turn his head on those drops before the ball is in his hands, it's a concentration issue, not an issue of picking up the ball. Yes, it's 100% something he has to improve upon and it's still a knock on him, but you're making up a problem that isn't there, when the real problem that is there is a very correctable one and also one that is rather common for a player 6 games into his career and trying to do too much. After that, I genuinely don't understand what your point is in bringing up where he ranks in YPC, as if that's some indicator of his abilities.  Which, to begin with, he's not 31st, he's 26th (and that's before even factoring in the players above him with just a handful of catches, like Horn Jr with his 4 catches).  Then below him in that YPC ranks are guys like Chase, CeeDee, London, Tyreek, Waddle, Higgins, BTJ, Wilson etc, so I'm not sure what pointing out his ranking has anything to do with what kind of player he is or might become.  All of that before even looking how close he is to being much higher on the list because they're all so close together, he's 27 yards across 6 games shy from being in the Top 15. If you want to pick and choose stats, why not look at things like being 3rd in the NFL in catches of 20+ yards or 6th in the NFL in 1st down catches? And finally, no, just no.  He doesn't look far less pro ready than Egbuka, he's just in a significantly worse situation if you're just looking for a big statistical output.  Egbuka is playing with the current front runner for MVP, in a pass happy offense, where all their other pass catchers keep getting hurt, so of course he's going to be putting up big stats.  Swap those players and T-Mac might be leading the NFL in yards right now, not to mention would have just as many TD's as Egbuka does as well.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      How about if you don't like my choice of content, then don't click on the thread? We're discussing the NFL, not Pee-wee football. Until we start having "great" games on a continuous basis, I'm going to continue to talk all facets of the team. Moreover, I haven't seen X have a "great" game yet. Just like I supported patience last season, I have become critical this season. If it hurts your feelings, it just hurts your feelings. I've been on this board longer than most of you, and I've been a fan of the Panthers since before they stepped on the field, so don't tell me how to fan.
