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.

      Every Big-Time Throw from Bryce Young and CJ Stroud in 2023

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I interpreted your original reply as the team could have success if the new players and coaches were really good, AND they created an offense that didn't count on the QB being a primary contributor. Because you think Bryce won't be able to hold up his end. I think you confirm that above. My only point is that I don't see how anyone can say definitively what Bryce Young will be in the league yet, based on his supporting cast from last season. And it seems those that have already decided that Bryce Young is a bust, likely just didn't like him as the pick in the first place. A little context for me... lots of folk here didn't like Cam while he was a Panther either. It had very little to do with him as a talent. And just for the record, I really am not invested in Bryce Young. I didn't want the team to move up for a QB at all in 2023. I thought 2024 would be the year to go for a QB. But when they did, I ordered the QBs as Anthony Richardson, then CJ, then Bryce. The disfunction from the front office, to the playcalling, to the scheme, to the oline and the receivers was just not a good situation. Horrible actually. Asking a rookie to perform with all that adversity is just not realistic to me, at any position let alone QB. So to me, the verdict is still out. I don't know if he can be the guy because the situation he was in last year was set up to fail from the start. In preseason, as soon as I saw the oline couldn't figure out how to even slow down the Jets' pass rush (particularly stunts) and the receivers were locked up like Fort Knox, I knew we were in for a long season.

      Does the Canales era have a new vibe?

      I bet one would. But I hear you and hope he can control himself.

      By TD alt · Posted

      It's a different vibe for sure. He sounds like he knows what he's talking about and his general plan---that which he tells the world---sounds like a working plan. Reich didn't seem to have a plan, and Rhule's plan was ill-suited for grown men. Reich coached like a zombie---just dead and uninspiring. Rhule thought that he could take his college guys and dominate in the pros, smiled in guys faces and threw them under the bus. His brand of motivation has plays running to a DBO sign. Canales seems to be schooled in motivation, but also believes the stuff he is selling down to his core. We'll see if it holds up.
