Some additional details...

MMQB writer Albert Breer reported that Marty was actually informed yesterday that the Panthers would not be renewing his contract after it expired. Though apparently he wasn't told until today that he was going to be fired, Breer believes that he probably saw it coming.

Breer also said that Tepper and Hurney had been discussing Marty's future for the last several weeks. I'm guessing that meant Marty was given the chance to make his case as to why the Panthers should keep him, but Breer didn't specify.

Have they said if he is sticking around in any form or fashion?

I would doubt it.  You don't fire someone you plan on retaining in a different role.  You would announce a "restructuring" of your organization or some other such nonsense.

Not reading through 25 pages here, so sue me if I'm repeating this thought. First reaction to this was "Hallelujah!" followed quickly by, "I guess he really didn't want to take that back seat after all..."

Gut instinct is that the talks they had been having revolved around Hurney moving to a different and less controlling role, and Marty wanted none of that, leaving Tep no other option than to just forcibly flush him out of the system. All pure conjecture on my part, but that's what I'm thinking here.

One of Marty's best final moves for us was trading up to get potential DROY Jeremy Chinn in the second round. But ultimately we haven't been winning enough, so along with the coaching change, I think a lot of us were expecting Marty to get the axe. He just wasn't good enough.

Alright, respectfully submitted. I had never done one of these - it was pretty fun. This still had us picking 6th with Wilson and Sewell both gone.  I traded back with Denver and picked up some additional early picks. 
 

Round 1 Pick 13 (DEN): Creed Humphrey, C/OG, Oklahoma (B+)
Round 2 Pick 6: Jay Tufele, DT, USC (A)
Round 2 Pick 13 (DEN): Josh Myers, C/OG, Ohio State (B+)
Round 3 Pick 6: Chuba Hubbard, RB, Oklahoma State (A)
Round 3 Pick 13 (DEN): Rodarius Williams, CB, Oklahoma State (A)
Round 4 Pick 6: Christian Darrisaw, OT, Virgina Tech (C-)
Round 5 Pick 6: Jack Sanborn, ILB/OLB, Wisconsin (A+)
Round 6 Pick 6: Desmond Ridder, QB, Cincinnati (A+)
Round 7 Pick 6: Royce Newman, OG, Mississippi (B)
 

They're a pretty entertaining way to kill a couple of minutes.  PFF / draft network also do them as well.

Not gonna lie, not a huge college football person but that looks like a great haul. If we pulled off getting 10 picks, and could get half of what we got outta last years rookies, we would be dangerous for years to come.

This was going to happen. I don't know how you guys didn't see it coming. Tepper used Marty for what he needed him for and then let him hang himself. Marty is completely out of his element with the direction that the organization is going in. He's a relic of the past for god sake. He doesn't fit at all.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
