Panthers Unlikely to Make a Move on GM Hurney

“I think he’s doing an outstanding job,” Morrison told the Charlotte Observer. “If you look at our track record since 2002, and our last four draft classes, having 26 of the 32 picks here…I think Marty Hurney’s excellent job speaks for itself.”

I agree with this statement, and I hope we hang on to Hurney. I have a feeling we will. I'm not of the opinion that Hurney's fate should be tied with Fox's, but I suppose it is.

Meh...I'm sorta indifferent to Hurney. He has his strengths and weaknesses. I think supporters tend to overrate him too much when trying to defend him(Same way with Fox). He's an okay GM. But his biggest problem is people will tie him to Delhomme, Peppers, and Fox(and rightfully so). I do appreciate the fact that he seems to be the only one who accepts blame in this franchise...ex: Playoff game two years ago, Buffalo Bills game last season, and recently on WFNZ.

I would have liked it if we let him go because I see Fox being gone next year, but it is what it is at this point.

Oh, snap! Fox has been dissed!

Not really. If they didn't offer Hurney a new contract they wouldn't have a GM come summer - his contract doesn't run through the regular season like Fox's does. Changing GMs at that time seems like a bad idea.

I think this falls under the fact of people not knowing what they have till its gone. Hurney while not the best GM in the league is not the worst ether and has put together some fine drafts. You also cant give him all the credit ether cause its three people making the decisions. JR,Fox, and Hurney. So all of them need to get credit and need to be bash some too.

I hope we keep Fox and Hurney. Conservative, some dumb personnel move, but I think its way better then some of the alternatives

i agree. not too sure who will get fired next season, but i don't see another coach out there that will come in and do a better job than Fox. yeah, Cowher is out there, but last i heard, he wanted Tom Coughlin's job, and he'd only run the exact same offense and defense... maybe he might put a little more pep in our players' steps. but i'm ok with Fox and Hurney. it's not pretty half the time, but they get the job done.

I do hope Fox dose well this year. Matt Moore is more then capible of putting up 20 points a game and we will get so see really what kind of OC Davidson is.

Also I really think Meeks could make our D very good given some more time.

....But Im also sure Fox will change my mind by mid season and I will be calling for his head again cause of being way to conservative and poor playcalling.

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
