You still won't answer who is more responsible for Apple's success, Steve Jobs or Tim Cook

Or you can live in your imaginary world where our team was great in 2015 because of Kurt Coleman and Trai Turner

Thankfully our owner disagrees

I don't care about Apple.

And yes, both Kurt Coleman and Trai Turner contributed to the team's success in 2015, as did Ted Ginn, Shaq Thompson and many others that were acquired after 2012.

Yes, Hurney has built winning rosters, exactly three of them, and none since 2008. So basically three good seasons out of fourteen, and none in the last eleven years.

That's what you're defending, and destroying your credibility in the process.

What kind of mental gymnastics do you have to do to credit Marty Hurney with not 1 but 2 imaginary SB victories.  1 SB appearance on a magical run with a plucky back up QB and a hidden 3rd round gem.  The other occurred years after his firing.

So not only did the Panthers lose both of those games but Hurney wasn't even an employee when we lost the 2nd.  Also he has never been able to cobble together a roster good enough to win back-to-back seasons.  Pathetic.  

 

Hurney is so good that we're hanging our hats on a Super Bowl loss from 15 years ago and a 15-1 season that happened 3 years after he was fired.  I wonder why we're doing that and not talking about the, oh what was it, 13 or so other seasons he ran the team?

2005 was a great season too, not gonna sell him short.

Everybody's fault but Marty's...

The team went 1-15 because JR didn't want to pay Fox a year and another coach at the same time, creating a lame duck year.  I know you hate Hurney , but damn dude. I said before that Hurney should go simply because I want to start fresh. I'm not defending Hurney at all, but that year you can't put on him at all, and you know it

I have no personal feelings about Marty at all.

Being terrible at their job isn't a reason to hate someone personally.

But likewise, a person being likeable doesn't excuse them being terrible at their job.

Lol

Reporter/Analyst says something Scot likes - IT’S TRUTH UNDISPUTED CAN NEVER BE DOUBTED

Reporter/Analyst says something Scot dislikes - LIES WHAT A JOKE NO SOURCES AND THEY MADE IT UP 

Reporter saying "that's what I believe likely happened" generally means speculation.

Nah, but that's a good dodge tactic to resort to when you're losing a debate.

It's actually pretty simple. I want to watch my team win. That doesn't happen when Marty us running things.

Hint: That's the same reason I wanted to see Ron Rivera replaced.

Yet you're still suggesting things you have no clue about. It's pretty laughable :)

I have way bigger concerns in my life than football right now. I come here because I enjoy talking about it, even in our given situation.

Unfortunately, our situation right now is terrible. Hence, the conversation is about what we should change.

Head coach and GM were the primary items on that list. One is down, hopefully the other is soon to follow.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
