eh. I still see picks like Devin and Ealy (though that might be because I had higher expectations for both) as worse picks. It was nice at the time to draft a T who at least one time was held in high regard and wasn't from some Div.II college. 

 

Sucks but I've been mad about worse picks in the 2nd.

I think Dave was just Hurney with a worse personality. Look at how horrible the Giants are. Ironically Brandon Beane was the best GM in our organization but JR was so horrible he overlooked him for years. Oh well its history now.

losing beane was really, really bad

What makes it even worse is if we had just stayed put we could have snagged McCoy right before NO. 

Kept our 1st 3rd for Winovich and used our 2nd on CGJ (we needed a safety). 

And the worst part is everyone here knew Little was a bad pick except for Hurney. It's mind numbing how bad his 2nd and 3rd round picks were with a couple of exceptions.

Little, Armanti Edwards, Dwayne Jarrett, Gaulden, Silatolu, Clausen, Fua, Everette Brown, and even Colbert...  all 2nd and 3rd rounders.

Yeesh.

I always credited Hurney for his hit rates on first rounders, but all his blunders elsewhere made him absolutely atrocious.  I always said, our 2nd and 3rd round picks under him quite possibly had to be the worst in the league during his tenure.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
