Robby Anderson was not the best signing of the offseason

Zach Kerr is. He currently sits as the 12th best IDL in the league according to PFF, and he has been a massive disruptor on that D-line. He also seems to be a great locker room guy. The craziest part is that we sign him to a 2 years, $3,000,000 contract with an average annual salary of $1,500,000This was the steal of the offseason in my opinion.

Kerr's probably a short term guy, similar to Kyle Love.

But I agree, he's been good.

Made that comparison myself--prolly where you stole it!  (kidding) Love stayed here about what, 4 seasons?  Kept getting those 1-year deals.

I guarantee certain posters are scouring the internet to try and find some loose connection between Kerr and Rhule to avoid giving even a morsel of credit to Hurney for this signing lol.

"Well you see, Kerr's second cousin's neighbor actually was a freshman during Rhule's last year coaching at Temple and took a sports psychology course, so he MUST have ran into Rhule at some point and told him how great of a football player Kerr was".

I get pretty tired of the Hurney vs. the coaching staff nonsense. That is a 50/50 blame and 50/50 credit, IMO. We don't actually have any idea what percentage that each specific player was which person's idea. This is the same all the time and at every franchise. The only surefire blame is the coach/GM scenario. Those guys are always 100% to blame and get 100% credit.

True, roster building (draft, FA, etc.) is always a synergistic, collaborative effort between head coach and GM.  People who espouse claims like "Thank GOD we handed drafting duties over to Rhule and co. this year" are clearly driven by an agenda.  Then these same people in another thread are arguing about how dumb Hurney was to sign Teddy this offseason...like, huh?  At least try to be consistent.

So far the Hurney/Rhule experiment seems to be a lot more promising than Hurney/Rivera and Hurney/Fox, at least as far as roster talent.  Way too early to tell, though.

    • 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.
