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?

I want somebody who gets it right more frequently than they get it wrong.

That's not Marty Hurney.

Hurney made the right move in both situations mentioned, it hasn't worked out for reasons mostly pointing to coaching.  The GM can only find talent based on available information, he can't know what is going to happen in the future.

Make him a VP and Director of College Scouting or something like that. 

I don't care. just get him out of the day to day GMing stuff.

If you want to put him in PR or something I'm okay with that. Anything that involves player evaluation though? No way in hell.

I'm at the point where I want the slate clean and there to be a new start.

Offensive coordinators can't see the future when they make a playcall. Are you going to keep one who consistently calls bad plays just because they really thought that play would work?

If it didn't work out, it wasn't the right move. Whether it looked like the right move at the time doesn't mean jack sh-t.

Every GM works under the same conditions. None of them can see the future but some of them are better at scouting than others.

Marty isn't.

Yeah, ideally we'd just start over, but if we were going to keep him around it would only be in that capacity. I'm not crazy about the say he handled the scouting department so it would be nice to see him offer his .02 and have it rejected on a whim by the new GM like he did the last couple years.

best scenario is just him being gone, though.

Personally I think Hurney’s track record suggests he tends to over invest his one finite resource with regards to scouting (time) into evaluation of first round prospects, leaving insufficient time devoted to evaluating the much larger pool of prospects for later rounds. I think this best explains his record of solid first rounders with consistently subpar results in drafting later rounds.

No. You've just remembered something that didn't happen.

I never suggested Richardson forced Gettleman to make those picks or that it was out of character in any way. Heck, I loved both picks. And I thought McCaffrey did just fine his rookie year.

I did figure that Richardson probably loved the idea of picking McCaffrey but so did Gettleman. He certainly didn't have to be forced into it.

And Jerry Richardson forcing the pick of Curtis Samuel? You might want to unwind your tinfoil hat a little. I think it's pressing on your brain.

Post like these were common in 2017 by Gman defenders. 3C966836-41A6-4E91-A25D-CAE49E6A3AA0.thumb.png.c7a225be96134bffa6ee5cc3faeb2c42.png

KB is a bust. A big chunk of his yardage came in garbage time. He was force fed the ball in 2014 and he had no YAC ability. Worst route runner I have seen by a Panthers starting WR.

Shaq is just a little above average. He's no Thomas Davis.

Shaq was Thomas Davis early on this season until our dline collapsed

Which of Hurney’s first rounders besides Otah do you think sucked? Any excuse you wanted to apply to KB would apply to Otah, but aside from that I’m genuinely curious why you think his first round record is awful?

I never said Hurney suck in the 1st round. You guys are really wanting to keep the man just bc of him hitting guys in the 1st round. Tell me how many teams/GMs don’t hit gold in the 1st round? Bc you guys are acting like Hurney is the only one who does. SB teams are build around the entire draft not just the 1st round. That’s why NE is so good and how Seattle was so great a few years back bc they hit on low rounders.

Otah was one of the best RTs I've ever seen. The way he would run block made me think we had a shot at winning any game we played. That's how good his run blocking was. He just destroyed people. I was beyond thrilled with Otah, and then his body fell apart.

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
