i don't think that's on Hurney. I got it as he showed promise and you give him some money and he gets fat  and lazy and he admits it. We can say that with all pros we've given nice contracts too. It's like every player who does great in his "contract year" and then tanks or levels off. 

Don’t know....it’s be a very weird correlation between contracts Hurney gives out and hell even players he drafts that all of sudden become complacent and siphon the team for money, reward money, injury money, and farewell money, I was going to list examples but that’s take a while...

Thats per of the evaluation process though, and the GM is he person doing the evaluating. The Patriots, who dominated Super Bowls in the last 20 years for example cut ties very quickly, don’t give players injury and reward contracts, they’re the anti-Hurney in every sense.

Sure it’s not perfect, but it’s on the GM evaluation abilities when players constantly get paid, or injured, or go pas their prime...then all of a sudden DGAF.

Yeah, I just don't think he's very good. He's a rotational depth piece. I mean, he had six career sacks in a primarily rotational depth role when Marty Hurney decided it was a good idea to give him a 2 year $12.5M contract.

What’s to stop him from getting complacent with the Vikings now? I wouldn’t want this dude on my team

Nobody's immune to complacency. He's blessed to have another shot in the NFL. 

Exactly to the second quote. I know people want to look at these guys as super heroes lol, but they're people.

I don't truthfully know anyone that gives 100% at their job year in and year out every single day....especially when you relate it to sports where it was pretty clear we weren't going to reach our ultimate goal of a Super Bowl let alone the playoffs.

Is it right? No.  Is it human? Yes.

The only difference between him and 75% of those guys is he actually said it.

At the time the panthers were 39th in rush defense, giving up a NFL record 5.9 yards per. Weatherly was a great run defender, he was rated in the top ten if I remember right. Plus it was Burns and ??????? at DE(unless Haynes is worthy). I bet if given the chance to void the deal they would have thought long and hard after YGM fell to them in the 2nd. I believe if YGM was in this years draft, no question 1st, maybe top 16 pick given this weak class. When it was said he didnt want to keep playing after his finger injury, done I was...

Burns said plenty times - "Hes weird..." 

Seems its wasnt just bustin balls and there was a issue in the locker room. Maybe he was trying to turn the DE group into pot heads..

I get it.  I'm at the same place right now.  New COO started.  He's clearly got a mandate from on high to cut costs.  Multiple non-communicated mini-layoffs have happened.  Managing Directors that were here for 15-20 years had to re-interview for their jobs with the COO so he could decide if they're worthy (Some said F that and left).  Moral is super low and people are leaving without being replaced  (do the same with less). 

I know what I'm capable of, but have lost the spark here.  So...I have an interview lined up for Thursday that I'm really looking forward to.  Even thinking about the possibility has given me a new spark.

All that to say, I get it.

BUT!!!!  You don't say this publicly especially on social media!  Glad he intrinsically discovered this and is self-aware, but still...

      I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.

      This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
