Just listened to the Tepper presser on releasing Hurney. 

When asked about his differences with Hurney, he stated that they have different approaches to evaluation. For example, how does a player perform in the 4th quarter or on 2 minute drives.

Does anyone else feel like this is a clear shot at Hurney's evaluation of Teddy Bridgewater?

One could interpret it that way. Would be interesting if Marty was the one who pushed that. All I know is it’s Tepper’s ultimate fault if he let Marty convince them they were a few FAs away. I still can’t fathom any good reason we kept Short or traded for Okung’s larger one year salary (we could have released Turner for less overall cap lost). If in a rebuild it makes no sense to trade for and keep two older (not 5 year plan) players coming off missing most of the season, especially since we wasted $15M in 2019 for horrible play from Paradis and Williams coming off severe injuries. If Tepper let Marty snowball him into spending more, losing comp picks and not get a player we hear rumors of him coveting then that’s on him. If he spent five minutes reading my plan to get Lawrence and own the division for the rest of the decade as Brady and Brees retire, he might have fired Hurney sooner and had the top pick. Yes, I’m kidding, I know Tepper doesn’t read this stuff, but I will say my plan was better than what the Hurndog did this year.

Some info from Ian Rapoport on WFNZ this morning:

- Hurney's departure has actually been in the weeds for months, not just weeks

- Primary reason for being let go is failure to mesh with Matt Rhule

- Likely candidates: Ed Dodds, Lake Dawson, Nick Caserio, Adam Peters, Jeff Ireland

- Panthers GM position is considered a very desirable job

- Doesn't believe Kevin Colbert will be an option (thinks he'll retire). Brandon Hunt and Omar Khan, maybe but not as likely as others

- Has heard Dan Morgan mentioned as a GM candidate, but not in Carolina

- Does expect Marty Hurney to have a shot at the Washington GM job, says people are "connecting the dots" for good reason

Good stuff, I'd be happy with any of these candidates.

Since Hurney has a shot at the WTF's GM job and maybe the gang is getting back together can we send them David Newton too?

lol...they made it sound like bringing Rhule in was Marty's idea.  I really never bought into that version of things.  Tepper knew this from the start...that Marty was not going to make it to the end of his contract. Change was a 2 step process.  There was a plan. Keeping someone who had crafted such a losing record was never a part of it.

Lads, Bridgewater was Brady's call. Rhule backed him.

Lots of writing on the wall from these new quotes and reports.  Timeline:

-GM’s contract up after 2020 season, won’t be retained further.  Need him as a bridge GM for a year as they continue to evaluate front office operations and potential candidates.

-Tepper fires Ron, GM doesn’t like it.

-New coach brought in, he will primarily run things, not the GM.

-Cam let go, GM doesn’t like it.

-Lots of bad contracts on the books.

-Teddy brought in, not working.

-Washington suddenly has a GM opening, mutual interest.  Makes sense to make the move now. Tepper says thanks for your help, now go get that job now. I’ll give you a very positive reference for Dan Snyder. 

-We’ll trade you Teddy once official (this one maybe a reach).

-We know who we’re gonna offer, but he may win a Super Bowl this year so we have to wait.

——————————

This is all just a guess, piecing everything together, now that it’s all starting to come out.  (I have no sources aside from these threads lol)

Go Panthers (play well but please lose out)

I thought all the time that the plan was to dump Rivera and bring in Rhule last off-season and keep Hurney for continuity until Rhule had experience and could run the show.  I bet Marty did help recruit Rhule. He was the best coach choice and I bet they didn't know they would clash at the time. Hurney is just old school and we have a new age owner and coach. It was time to move on.

    • 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.
