Hurney offered an extension


Jbro

Recommended Posts

We noted earlier this week that Panthers G.M. Marty Hurney's contract runs out in June, but it doesn't sound like he'll be going anywhere.

ESPN's Pat Yasinskas reported earlier this week that Hurney has had a new contract offer on the table since last season. The offer still stands.

Hurney's delay in signing the deal has to do with his buddy coach John Fox's status. He wanted to see what happened there. Nothing has happened, but Hurney is expected to "get around" to signing his contract soon, if he hasn't already.

Yasinskas notes that the Panthers don't announced front office contracts publicly, and last time it took months for Hurney's last extension to go public.

So whether John Fox is in Carolina in 2011 or not, it appears Hurney will stick around. At the very least, he'll be getting paid by the team.

good. legions of ungrateful panthers fans like to take collective shits on him citing peppers and delhomme as their reason, but they ignore the massive amount of good he's done this franchise with his success in drafting. i'm glad he'll be staying.

i remember how pissed I was at hurney during the season, and for some reason I'm not pissed anymore. Must be the fact that I realized all the young talent he has assembled and that we are going to move forward with that core of young players, and they are all pretty damn good.

For whatever reason, I'm still more pissed at Fox.

I am now convinced that these two chicas (fox and Hurney) must be dating or something. You mean to tell me he wont sign his deal because of his buddy Fox? I dont want to call these chicas gay but if it walks like a duck and talks like a duck.....

It's not just Fox, Hurney is waiting to see if the organization is going into full rebuilding mode.

    • the one thing this post has suprised me with is how much support there still is for young.  i dont understand why.  we had qbs before him that went to superbowls that lost support way quicker.  thr only qb we had had that started any number of games that played worse than young is clausen.  allen and moore played better and yet people still support him makes 0 sense to me
    • Again, can’t have a serious discussion if constantly wading through hyperbole. And you say that’s not really what was meant, but I tried to at one point get some folks to concede that he was physically capable of throwing a football 20yds just so we could get to a real discussion and they stuck with it. So I’m not sure your characterization is entirely accurate.
    • And this is his third year. As far as people not understanding things, I am not sure people accept how difficult it is to remake yourself from the ground up. Which he absolutely has to do to compete successfully at the NFL level.  He takes a step forward with the footwork and a step back when he is stressed and reverts to what always worked for him before. I will say it yet again, anyone that reached a level of success with their self taught technique but needed to rebuild to break through the limitations that imposed, will understand this. I don’t care what specific activity it is the same challenge. Muscle memory and comfort level fight against the new moves you are trying to train yourself to do without thinking.  He is there. There is a ceiling with his technique that is too low for the NFL. He has to retrain himself.  We are in the third year and I guess we are supposed believe that he will be so good  when he finally gets to where the new will be second nature, that we have to wait (how many more years) for him to finish doing it. If he ever finishes.  The sad fact is he will not succeed at the NFL level with his horrible college footwork and compensation moves like the tippy toe drop backs. He just won’t.  If he can’t put that on the table for us, we would be foolish to not seek an alternative plan.
