Joe Person: Taylor Moton not likely to return next year, Curtis Samuel might also leave

[imminent rogaine]

“What can I do that has the biggest risk of blowing up in my face and sinking this franchise?”

the question Hurney asks himself every day. 

[Panther Believer]

Pay Moton let samuel walk. I love curtco but you can draft a quality #3 WR much easier than a franchise RT. Cut KK and throw that money to Moton.

[CarolinaRideorDie]

The question is if you guys think Moton is worth Top 5 Right Tackle money. I'm sure he is going to command a large salary next year. Overpay for him or let him walk and suffer a weak O-line? Which is lesser of two evils?

The next draft is so important its crazy

Moton must be a really really weird dude or something. 

Not so sure about that. Honestly, not wanting to stay with us has been kind of a trend (Lotulelei, Bradberry, now Moton).

The basic word though is that he wants left tackle money and we're not going to pay it.

And people wonder why we are never a perennial playoff team

Every "decision" Hurney makes is awful. GET RID OF THE DUMBA** Im tired of this. We always have crap Oline's and he lets Norwell, Turner and Moton walk, signs Paradis and drafts Greg Little. The man is a freaking joke.

It's not Hurney's decision...he's not vested with the power to make such a call.

If Moton doesn't return it will be because Tepper, Rhule & Hurney collectively decided it's the proper course of action (with input from a number of others as well).

That's how it works in Tepper's world...

Hell, right now we're not even an occasional playoff team.

The 2015 season feels like it was a lifetime ago.

[Smithers]

This is about as speculative as it comes and should be taken with a grain of salt.  We will cut Short and Paradis and have plenty of money to sign Moton and Samuel.

[TLGPanthersFan]

Oh no we suck again...again.

Copying and pasting this post I made in another thread:

I'm honestly to the point where I truly wonder if there is some sort of organized effort us as a fanbase could put together to let Tepper know that we won't put up with Hurney's bullshit fuging ineptitude anymore.

This entire fiasco is absolutely inexcusable. It's not like Moton was just a guy for his first few seasons and broke out this year. He's proven since DAY ONE that he belonged in this league and he's rapidly improved every year. It's absolutely insane how many of us casuals were calling all offseason to extend him because it's been evident for a year or two now that he can be a franchise building block. I've never played nor coached a down of football in my life, I'm just a casual guy that could have easily gotten this poo right. And it would be one thing if Moton played a position of minimal value, but he plays arguably the second most important position in all of football! Hurney walked into this gig for the SECOND time and had a franchise OT on the table for him - and he failed to extend him and now we will pay the price. 

We were screaming to extend him last offseason, so many of us. This was not hard to get right, and our incompetent GM got it wrong - again. We are now set to enter next season with the worst OL in the NFL. Who cares if we get lucky enough to draft a guy like Wilson/Fields/Lance/Jones if we won't be able to keep him upright? There's no fuging point.

Curtis Samuel is a whole other story. But I've been high on him ever since he was a rookie and I truly think he's our best receiver. We also KNOW teams wanted him on this most recent draft night. But instead of at least cashing in on a third round pick for him we'll also lose him for nothing.

Really, what's the point in continuing to support this team with such a ceiling capper like Hurney at GM?

[BrianS]

I don't want to see him go either, but it's going to be brutal to sign him.  Here's the top 7 RT's (contract wise) right now:

[LinvilleGorge]

Cool. We're going to continue letting premium hard to find position players walk so we can throw money at LBs are RBs. Seriously. Watch us throw money at a backup RB and sign a high level FA LB. We are a really fuging stupid organization and it's getting difficult to support.

The thing is that he probably IS a top 5 RT and he's the only legit answer we have on the entire OL.
