2019 Challenge


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

Put this out there in another thread, but so far haven't gotten any takers so I'll repeat it here...

Same as I did last season, I'm willing to attach my name to the statement that the 2019 season belongs completely to Marty Hurney.

Good or bad, Super Bowl or #1 Pick, 19-0 or 0-16, Marty Hurney gets full credit - or full blame - for how this season goes on the personnel front.

Yes, there are plenty of good players left over by Dave Gettleman. That doesn't matter now any more than it mattered when Hurney left players behind in 2012. It's the full roster that wins or loses, not individuals, and that roster is being built by Marty, Ron and the staff, no one else.

I'm a Marty Hurney critic, but I also have integrity and the courage of my convictions. That's why I'm willing to say now that if the Panthers go to the Super Bowl, Marty deserves the credit.

I've asked a couple of Hurney fans to agree that of the season goes bad, that's on Marty too. They backed down. Still wanting to find a way to blame Gettleman and if things go bad I guess. Stupid, and cowardly to be honest, but hey...

So here's the challenge to anybody that wants to take it.

If you believe in "Marty 2.0", say so. If you don't, say so. This isn't a prediction of whether this season will be good or not. It's an agreement that regardless of what happens, no passing of the buck will be accepted.

Good or bad, this is Marty's year.

Accept or decline?

Decline. Please goddamn stop all the Hurney vs. Gettleman nonsense. One of those motherfugers doesn't work here and I am tired of hearing about him. 

Can we just please move the fug on with what we do have? I will do the same once Hurney 2.0 inevitably gets fired too.

Funny how I keep hearing that all of Gettleman's success was due to players left over by Hurney :thinking:

So are you saying yes or no?

That's actually what this is about.

Somebody asked me prior to last season to commit to this same idea (their expectation was that we'd have a Super Bowl year). I said yes, not because I knew how to season was going to go but because of ejected lie, that's how it works.

I'm saying the same thing this year, and I challenge others to do so as well.

Say yes now and you don't get to rewrite your opinions at the end of the year to fit what ended up happening. you don't get the credit get them in for success or blame and for failure. It's all on Marty.

Good or Bad The whole team, including Hurney, would be to blame.  But to say its totally on him is just wrong.

But it's okay to blame Gettleman for his bad years, right?

Where's all this enthusiasm I'm seeing in other threads?

You can't say that you are moving on if you goddamn keep engaging in 15,000 goddamn debates at every little Gettleman slight. Continuing to argue and debate people over and over and over and over and over about the same damn thing is not productive even in the slightest. It's fuging annoying. It isn't just you, the rest of the pro-Gettleman zealots and the pro-Hurney crowd are just as annoying. The remaining 95% of this board get pretty fuging tired of it. The thread hijacks, the NEW threads, etc, etc. fug. Just STOP it. 

People are always going to have some cheap shots towards Gettleman the same way they did Hurney when he got canned for boning up our fuging roster. Stop getting baited into quibbling because someone sarcastically takes "Gettlemagic" shots. I hope Gettleman is a fuging absolute failure(and he is proving to be that for sure) because he is the GM for another fuging NFL team. fug the Giants. 

Stop inventing these goddamn narratives for what is pro-Gettleman and pro-Hurney. We are all goddamn Panthers fans, so we need to be hoping Hurney 2.0 isn't the same fuging failure that Hurney 1.0 is or we are going to be in the same BS position that we have been for the history of the fuging franchise. Save the fuging Hurney attack dogs for when we fire his ass too. poo, then about 90% of the board will be right there with you. Just goddamn stop being the Dave Gettleman Defender in Chief. He damn sure isn't worth it. Neither of these two are the fuging next coming of Bill Belicheck or Ozzie Newsome.

    • Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.  
    • I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us. 
    • From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
