Why are we YELLING? But in all seriousness, this is the best case scenarios for us. Hurney’s done some good (and mostly bad) for the team and it’s time to move on.
 

I’m sure we’ll get a guy who gets picked by Rhule, not unlike what the 49ers did when Shanahan snagged Lynch.

Forget the half steppin'. If the plan is to replace Hurney then replace Hurney. Assistant GM? Anyone worth hiring is going to want a GM role, not a GM in waiting role behind an utter failure.

I doubt it would be immediate in all reality, but definitely no longer than the 2020 season.  As much as I would LOVE an immediate passing of the torch, a newbie GM (at least new to the franchise) will need some temporary training wheels.  That is unless Hurney stays within the organization in a different capacity to help with the transition.

You want Marty Hurney providing those training wheels? A proper hire is ready for the role. He won't need training wheels.

I imagined all along this would be Hurney's last year. Let someone come in and transition it over to them

Problem is we miss out on a lot of better candidates because we’re denied interviews due the fact we aren’t offering them the GM position. This is really the only thing I have a problem with So far in the Tepper era.

it won't happen until after the draft, so by then most of our camp roster will be constructed, save some last minute FAs.  Marty's fingerprints are going to be all over this 2020 roster whether we like it or not.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
