I have no idea why anyone with other options would take an "assistant GM" role behind Marty Hurney.

If you wanna get somebody like Caserio, you'd have to hope that Marty either resigns or gets reassigned.

If neither of those things happens, I'm ready to conclude Tepper doesn't have a clue what he's going.

Jury is definitely still out on Mr. Tepper. Really pulling for the guy but some.of the decisions he's made so far could really blow up in his face

 Nick Caserio is one of those guys whose contract is expiring, but would he take an "Assistant GM" role?

(kinda doubt it)

 

cue Tepper as the Godfather or something.....everyone has a price

 

Plus I'm p sure any assistant GM will be guaranteed to have the fast track to the full position.

Well, I would've guaranteed that any new owner would've gotten rid of Marty Hurney before the ink dried on the closing of the purchase of the team and yet here we still are...

USA Today's guy is predicting that we won't even bother looking till then...

Panthers won't fill Assistant GM job until after 2020 Draft

Quote

That sounds nice, but there’s a possibility they didn’t want to wait this long and they have already missed out on their preferred candidate.

The Panthers requested an interview with then-Eagles executive Andrew Berry. Because the position they had in mind for him was not technically a step up, Philly was able to block the interview. Berry has since been hired by the Browns as their new GM.

Part of the problem is the continued presence of Marty Hurney looming large over the front office. The most qualified candidates may not want to accept a position under him and will hold out for better opportunities.

That said, Hurney has a strong record in selecting quality players in the first round of the draft and it’s clear team owner David Tepper values his expertise in college scouting.

:eyeroll:

Better get ready for option 3. I already think he has no clue since he said Hurney knows alot

Give him a break. Dude just bought a football team and a trophy wife about the same time. He's trying to figure out how both work. Chances are he'll just throw wads of cash at both of them and hope it works. Sometimes it does.

    • I can only imagine the **** eating grins on the committee right now. "Oh, Bama didn't deserve it? Oh, Miami didn't deserve it? Suck it, haters!" lol
    • To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset. 
    • To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…
