Hurney should stay on with the Panthers...

With the sole responsibility of making our First round draft pick! Nothing more or less!

if there is one thing I’m going to miss when good old Hurney is gone is the dude for better or worse has been amazing when drafting in the first round. I don’t think anyone here can argue otherwise especially when you stack him against the rest of the League. I mean he has drafted how many potential HOF caliber players?

One dude who's career was cut short due to injury as much makes the OP's point as detracts from it. I'm ready for Hurney to go as much as most here, but the dude was solid with his first rounders. Find me another GM who had only a single bad first rounder in what, a dozen or so? Can't be too many out there.

2019: Brian Burns

2018: DJ Moore

2012: Luke Keuchly

2011: Cam Newton

2010: Everette Brown

2009: Jeff Otah

2008: Jonathan Stewart, Jeff Otah

2007: Jon Beason

2006: DeAngelo Williams

2005: Thomas Davis

2004: Chris Gamble

2003: Jordan Gross

2002: Julius Peppers

 

I must say, even with the obvious flubs in 2008-2010, that is pretty impressive.

Ugh....you know what is even more scary, to look at the rest of the first rounders combined. Basically only CMC and Dan Morgan were hits. Almost every other 1st round pick in Panthers history was some level of bust.

1995: Kerry Collins

1996: Tim Biakabutuka

1997: Rae Carruth

1998: Jason Peter

1999: None

2000: Rashard Anderson

2001: Dan Morgan

2013: Star Lotulelei(Not really a bust, just not a star player)

2014: Kelvin Benjamin

2015: Shaq Thompson(Not really a bust, just not a star player yet)

2016: Vernon Butler

2017: CMC

There is more than 1 round to a draft.  I’m one of those people that think the entire draft is a crap shoot.   I mean, for gods sake, Trubisky was taken ahead of Mahomes and Watson.  If any team knew how good Mahomes was going to be they would have traded whatever the asking price was to move up and get him.  How many teams passed on Brees, Jackson, insert name here.  I’m sure everyone on here would gladly have selected Mahomes over CMC if given the chance.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
