One thing you can't argue, Hurney and the Panthers are a class organization...

Panthers coach John Fox got to break the news face-to-face to Jake Delhomme Thursday afternoon, a conversation Delhomme admitted was “emotional.”

General manager Marty Hurney probably avoided it to keep from bawling himself, but had someplace else he had to be.

Agent Rick Smith, who’s represented Delhomme throughout his career, was working in his Chicago office building Thursday morning, preparing for the free agent period himself, and certainly not expecting the next call.

“It’s 11 yesterday morning, my time,” Smith said. “I look down at my cell, and it’s Marty’s cell. We talk all the time. So I answer, ‘Hey, Marty, what’s up.’”

“I’m in your lobby,” Hurney replied. “Come downstairs and get me.”

Smith said he was initially confused, and quickly found a conference room where they could sit and Hurney could deliver the news no one wanted to be on either end of.

“He said he just couldn’t do it over the phone,” Smith said. “So what does he do? He flies to Chicago so he can tell me to my face. To me, that tells you about the bond between the player and the team, and the character of the organization.

“Who else does that?”

while i don't think being a classy organization gives you a better chance to win, part of what makes classy actions 'classy' is doing them regardless of whether it will benefit you or your interests in the short or long term.

It explains why NE didn't get Beason...

And he wouldn't be happy going there too. Didn't one time he mention he doesn't want to play for them & glad he came here instead? I think that speak for our organzation as classy when you hear many want to play here.

      Draft Week Rumors, Leaks and Media Draftniks Final Mocks

      https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/1111521/garrett-nussmeier-injury-cyst-spine-lsu-scouting-report-steal?utm_source=firefox-newtab-en-us   We believing this about Nuss?  I liked him (and allar) a ton before this season but both were in some pretty toxic environments.  I know we wont do it but damn I wouldnt cry about throwing out a flyer on either in round 4ish.   Nuss has a pretty good arm, goes through progressions quickly and knows when to get rid of the ball.   Allar looks like he is built in a qb lab.  Just needs some coaching

      How Will the Lawrence Trade Influence the Draft???

      At least the Bengals have no money because they've put it all into weapons for Burrow. They can't protect him and they can't stop anybody on D but at least he has weapons until he ends up on IR behind that trash tier OL. When we had Cam it was like we pretended the offensive box was checked because we had Cam who could lead the team in rushing yardage and rushing TDs while also playing QB so we could spend all our resources on D.  At the end of the day, the end result is the same. Your franchise QB ends up beat to poo and you struggle mightily to win consistently.
