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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 🤦

    • No, the casual fan gets sucked into THIS^^^ kind of thinking, and it's so woefully incorrect that it's almost sad. The first is what I've said numerous times, NOTHING about non guaranteed contracts save the billionaire owners a single penny, because they still have to spend their cap floor, and the only reason teams ever don't spend the full limit, is to then roll it over into the next season to be able to spend more that year. But in the end, owners pay the same amount of money no matter what. The reverse is also the same, that the players in totality make the same amount of money as well, because in your example of Clowney not getting that money this year, it will go to another player, as the cap needs to be spent. And you say how we just cut Clowney after we gave him the 2 year contract, but everyone including Clowney's agent and himself, knew when it was signed, that it was more likely to be a 1 year contract than a 2 with how it was structured.  The 2nd year was just to be able to spread out the cap hit and he was always most likely going to end up getting traded or cut. It's why agents and players don't care about the total money in a contract, it's always and only been about the guaranteed money, as the years and overall value are meaningless, always have been, always will be.
    • Agents will have their 1st round picks hold out until the pay structure of their contract is to their liking, not how much money they'll get or even how much is guaranteed, just the when/how they will get the money over the course of the contract. If they're willing to recommend those players hold our, do you really think they won't do it for 2nd rounders to guarantee them an extra 10% of their entire rookie contract?
