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.

      Strength of Schedule for 2025

      By countryboi · Posted

      The thing I hate about strength of schedule is that NFL teams change so much over a year and past success or failure doesn't really dictate future success or failure

      Considering you previously struggled to understand BTT despite it being explained in a video, write-up, and multiple replies, I get why this might be a little too complex for you. Happy to clarify again! Just let me know which part tripped you up this time. 😉

      a look at our 19 udfas

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      And, honestly, there's only so much you can attempt to do in the draft. And every draft pick is a roll of the dice. But that's where grabbing a ton of UDFAs, and targeting the best, makes a big difference. Sure, their individual chances of getting a hit here is less, but that shotgun pattern might just hit something.  Right now, we need bulk, partly to rebuild and partly to dilute the deep level of stank that has developed on this team in the last six years. If we're going to rebuild a culture built around culture, accountability and winning, then these UDFAs we bring in each season have to be the wash water that gets out that leftover dirt.  Canales seems to be a smart, culture-first, build up the good ones kind of guy. I like that and I hope he can keep it going here. But he was working against a locker room that had been taught to lose and taught to distrust or ignore coaches. He's got his work cut out for him, still. He does seem to have it moving in the right direction and that's something I was pretty amazed with by the end of last season.
