That's why I clearly stated "just like all other Panthers/GM combos". My argument is that Gettleman was no better that Hurney or anyone else, contrary to what a lot folks around here believe.

Again, compare their winning percentages, their percentages for making the playoffs or any other stat that's based on winning or losing.

You can spin it any way you want, but we won more frequently and more consistently with Gettleman in charge than Hurney.  That's just reality. 

You wanna argue Hurney was better?  No problem.  All you have to do is convince me that there's something more important in pro football than winning games.

If you can do that, you're set.

I really have no idea what Tepper will do. I mean drafting Moore, Jackson, and Thomas was huge. If Rivera would have played them more we might actually have won more games. If you pair Hurney with a coach who is really good with personnel you have a winning combo. If not then you get Rivera /Hurney 3.0

Moore looks like a stud, but the dude fell in our lap.  Hard not to screw that up. 

I don't want Hurney retained. Let me start there. But to discount his first round picks as "not hard to screw up" while ignoring the Gettleman first round picks...

Hurney picked Dwayne Jarrett, Jimmy Clausen, Everette Brown, Armani Edwards...etc.  That sucks.

You've made my point. Since he himself has shown its very possible to "screw that up", you can't just discount the good pick of Moore.

Winning would have calmed the itch, but if I just paid 2.5M billion for a team, I’d want my own guy at GM. If I’m going to escort the HC out following the season might as well have security walk Hurney out while we’re at it.

I thought even if we had a good season Marty’s days were numbered. I think it’s inevitable now.

Hurney supporters are blind. His seat is molden. I guess he couldn't predict that Poe would be garbage and that Torrey and cj would do nothing at that the secondary would be this bad even though it was clearly apparent. Problem is we've seen this too many times. His seaten is molten. Only has a job bc if JR. Go back to stalking

Jeff otah. Hurney nailed Davis, dwill and jstew. Also Charles Johnson. That's it. Well Cam and Luke.

Dontari Poe is a net positive?

And no, nobody else is hiring Marty Hurney.

I'm not sure you understand what a net positive is.

Hurney has made more good choices in this stint than he has made bad choices.  That's "net positive".  For every Dontari Poe, we've got a Jarius Wright.

Unfortunately for him, he's going to lose his job.  Tepper has no choice after this epic implosion.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
