Fwiw, I don't blame all or even most of our problems over the last few years on Hurney, but the last time we had a winning season when Marty H was the GM on Jan 1st was 2008.  Its amazing Tepper kept him as long as he did.   

Technically he was the GM for the 2017 season, but we all know that was DG's team. Marty arrived well after the draft/free agency.

Didn't realize Asante Samuel's son was a legit prospect until I saw your post, interesting.

Question for looooooooong time Panther fans:

Has any Hurney move been any worse then George Siefert's Sean Gilbert deal?

Yeah, Hurney was bad and I've wanted him gone for years, but despite his utter incompetency, Seifert's deal to get Gilbert may have been the worst this franchise has ever survived.

(Prior to the 1999 season, Gilbert was signed to a 7-year, $46.5M and 2 first round picks. The salary cap in 1999 was $57.3M)

Truthfully, no. That Gilbert thing was one of the worst deals in NFL history. 

HOWEVER, there were so many compounding bad moves on Hurney's part (Pretty much everything after 2008) that you could make the case that his boners were far more detrimental to the long term success of the franchise. Instead of being able to get immediate relief by unloading one guy, we were stuck having to manuver and unload multiple guys over multiple years to try and get in a better spot. 

Plus his drafting was abysmal outside round 1. Every pick was either feast or famine, absolutely nothing in between. Dude was either an all-pro or didn't belong in the NFL. That lack of even mediocre talent to fill out the roster lead to our demise in both of his tenures as GM simply due to the lack of depth throughout the roster.

Gilbert was a Dom Capers disaster and was by far the worst decision in team history. 
Seefart got fired after he cut Beuerlein to have Jeff Lewis be the Q1. Lewis was cut in preseason and the Panthers were forced to start rookie Chris tinky Weinke and go 1-15. Oh to be a Panthers fan!

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