A horrible mistake.

Beane was once one of my sources on here, although he never revealed anything he shouldn't--he would say, "we are high on....."  pertaining to the draft, or "there is a WR from Southern...."  I got 95% of my info second hand, mutual friend. He did share that the presser that featured Richardson's pie chart was embarrassing, and did not respond when asked if that is what sent Andrew Luck back to Stanford---he went to South Stanly High School and a good friend of mine stayed in touch with him---I used to get my car inspected where he did and had a chat with him for about 20 minutes once--he is very knowledgeable and simplistically insightful--most of this was before he was assistant GM and working out trades-- I wonder how much of Hurney's success was Beane?

I had to go from the inspection station to Belk in Albemarle to get something for my wife that day and I bumped into Mike Turgovak (sp?).  I recall it was during a bye week and the Panthers were a disappointing 4-4 at the time.  I think I offended Turgovak.  He was there just roaming around like a zombie as his wife was shopping, and when I saw him, he was looking at trinkets--little unicorns and stuff.  I did not let that go.  He was nice, but I think I took it too far.  So later, i was telling my wife about it and my son said, "Oh, his daughter is in my class."  So I realized that he was not looking for porcelain unicorns for himself, but quite possibly his daughter.  I think he went to Green Bay the following year.  I like to think that I had nothing to do with that, but you never know.  It was a wild day.

Is there anything stating that he definitely wanted to stay here? I'm not saying he didn't want to stay but that's always the wild card in these situations, as we typically assume the person/player was always all-in on their current organization.

Not enough is talked about Jerry Richardson letting Brandon Beane walk just weeks before Richardson fired Gettleman.

We could have had one of the better young GMs in the league. A Carolina guy. Instead, we had "interim" GM Marty Hurney.

Oooh weee mayne. 

This when JR was on his way out.  I believe that this was planned.  Everyone knew Beane was a hot commodity and was going to get a job soon.  JR waited until Beane got hired and then fired Gettleman.   He's was a successful businessman and you don't fire  a good employee because they pissed you off.  I think JR was going to can him well before the beef.  He just waiting until Beane was gone before doing it.

Than fugged us a second time by rehiring Marty "I love my vets" Hurney. 

Worst part about it is Tepper didn't can him after he got the team.

      https://www.yahoo.com/sports/article/versatile-2nd-db-named-panthers-154026075.html Smith-Wade's ability to play corner, nickel and safety makes him valuable to a young defense trying to rebuild after finishing last in the NFL a year ago. "Chau took advantage of an opportunity,'' coach Dave Canales said. "He made tackles. He had an opportunity on an interception, and he made it.'' Our defense has got to come alive for us to have a chance of winning our Division!

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.
