I mean... guy was stuck in the mud slow. Tremble showed so much more, and had more years on his contract to remain with the team while at the same time being the younger player.

I don't have issues with the staff telling Hurst w/e he needed to hear to get his benching to be more palatable.

Two of the supposed big acquisitions we made last year, him and that overrated RB we bought from Philly, were shown up by chumps we already had on the roster.

Good riddance. Don't blame that weak poo on anyone else.

And good riddance to everyone we lost.

I bet Dan Morgan was pissed at the culture we had become which is why he stayed and is why he chose Canales. We needed someone who can change the culture and identity. We didn't need the best stats guy. We needed the best guy to affect the culture. Canales was the best choice.

Hurst, who was with the Panthers last season and is now with the Chargers, said that he could have returned late last season, but the Panthers’ front office felt it made more sense for him to rest up, given that Carolina had the worst record in the NFL.

Well, from what I read Hurst say, the FO did essentially say that there was no point in Hurst returning. I mean I kinda skimmed it, but I could've sworn I read that.

I mean .... it's not like we're talking about prime Kelce here. 

Hurst was a huge disappointment pre Injury imo. Great guy...but just wasn't working out. 

After his first TD he just faded away. I think they were moreso trying to save him from the risk and possible embarrassment of being a 3rd backup behind Tremble and Sullivan. 

Side note: Dan Arnold was a guy we should have never let walk. That said, Wiley, Bell or Stover on Day Three could be the answer.

      Surprise! Wait… Surprise Again! Kon Looks Really Good!

      By t96 · Posted

      Ehh, new front office has 2 drafts under their belt -- Salaun draft class was really a horrible class in general, but Salaun has started to show some of his potential and KJ Simpson not bad for a 2nd round pick. This past draft clearly looks like it was knocked out of the fuging park obviously with Kon but also Sion and Kalk already contributing in somewhat big roles for late round picks. And McNeeley has shown potential and lit it up in summer league, seems to be doing well in the G league for a young guy too.      As for this season I think a very realistic goal and outcome of the regular season is sneaking up into a 7 or 8 seed and then winning 1 of 2 play-in games to make the real playoffs. Probably get cooked in round 1 but that playoff experience and establishing that expectation of winning is critical to the development of our young core.

      Statistical reasons to Scratch Ickey from returning as a LT--Even in 2027

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      Sound write-up MHS, as always.  Agree that the smart move that forward thinking franchises make would be drafting a tackle early, if not for sure in R1, depending on who's there. Based on early predictions we're choosing between Fano and Proctor. No brainer here...Fano all day. Proctor does not move the needle for me. In my mind, Icky has less future here than Brooks does. I love Icky, but he has been average as a top-10 pick, one good year where you saw the potential...and that was this year. He's built like a RT and his strengths are there, but he's always played left. I also feel like part of what has held him back from being elite, was his work ethic. He was known for it coming out, but feel like he fell right at home in Carolina and maybe didn't push himself as hard as he needed to. Throw in a major crucial injury that will take time to recover and a historical low return rate to current form, and the outlook is not great. Fano can play both sides and we need to also plan for Moton's departure. Either way, delaying drafting a tackle early this year will hurt us down the line. Our current OL is overpriced and needs to start adding draftees to start balancing out the inevitable changes coming in the next 2-3 years.  As others have said, maybe Icky can replace Hunt or Lewis in a couple years when he's fully recovered....IDK. Also not a guarantee, but then you have to figure out his contract and it becomes even more clouded.

      It's past time to just eliminate it in terms of an event. Just do the voting, name the roster, and move on. When you get down to 6th and 7th alternates it's just absurd. It doesn't mean anything.
