Marty Hurney was the most mediocre of average GMs.

So unremarkable yet not terrible.

He was significantly better than Fitterer.  That’s my only point.  He had strengths. He had highlights to offset bad he did.   The Fitterer era Panthers were a unique poo show in terms of talent and mismanagement of resources…..and also of lack of understanding the matching of talent/scheme.  Hurney at least added players that made sense and fit what his coach wanted to do and hit some grand slams.

When the Teppers are gone for one reason or another

If only he was actually on that Epstein list

Did Tepper see the entire stadium empty?  So dumb, you cannot pick from within.

He was absolutely amazing…I seriously mean that

He was amazing at some things. He really stunk in the mid-rounds and was likely the difference in us not making deeper runs in the playoffs.

Cam as a fan ambassador or PR guy would be amazing. I love Cam, always felt like we did him dirty for no damn good reason.

No, to beat out Baby Tyke

Marty Hurney wasn’t actually bad.  He was decent.   Fitterer was bad. 

I was talking about Gettlemen. He was assistant under Gettlemen right? Have I mixed up something?

Absolutely no disrespect to Dan Morgan, he was great for us and I have always been a fan of him; but how anyone from the current administration could be promoted in an environment that has produced the worst professional sports winning percentage since 2018 is mind numbingly stupid. 
 

this hire reeks of Tepper wanting to continue his influence in the day to day operations of a failing franchise.

Pretty cool with the full circle. Congrats to Dan and here’s hoping for a quick turnaround.

It would be interesting to see if anyone can think of examples of an assistant GM that worked under a bad GM, who when he eventually got a shot, did well. Brandon Beane is obviously the first that comes to mind, any others?

You do realize Hurney put together the foundational rosters for 2 panthers eras that were in the playoffs consistently, won division titles & went to 2 SBs?

Bad GMs can't even improve a roster to get to the playoffs after the previous GMs foundation has been cleared out. Then there are the ones that ride the coattails of the previous GM & claim it as their success.

Now let’s get Tilis in to partner with him and let Dan work

Neither do any of the people here claiming he’s a yes man and a disaster of a hire. 

I don’t like to be overly negative I guess people are just not excited. An internal hire has Teppers poop finger prints all over it. Doesn’t feel like he’s learned anything going internally.

Yeah I was thinking he was the assistant under Gettlemen. Not that he was necessarily bad either. 

[WhoKnows]

Welp, fug it. I guess I was stupid to hope we hired a firm to help us search for great candidates. Hiring from within when the GM crew was the worst we’ve ever had the past three years and our vet moves were as bad as the draft, makes no sense.

Oh well, maybe we’ll have some luck since our franchise always seems to get the benefit of the doubt and the best luck.

What does a NFL GM actually do day to day..I mean I know the larger draft stuff/contracts but I wonder what does he do day to day lol

Varies per team. Most are basically CEOs that run virtually everything. Some are purely personnel guys.
