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.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
