do you count ricky proehl, or do you only count dwayne jarrett because you started following the team in 2005?

Don't get cute with me, sugartits.

Was going to games in Clemson when you were still trying to get someone old enough to buy you beer.

keyshawn johnson did well, he was just an asshole

I see you stopped trying with the draft picks and had to go to WRs who made the pro bowl with other teams before coming to Carolina as a means to defend Hurney's ability to evaluate WRs.

Just saying.

they've only tried to seriously draft a WR twice.

Once was Keary Colbert who had a great rookie season.

The other was HIM.

I see you stopped trying with the "or brought in through FA" part of your argument as a means to why we should fire Hurney.

Just saying.

Bringing in a pro bowl who's health and evaluating potential talent are not the same.

Just saying.

As for Keyshawn, Hurney admitted that was a mistake by cutting him immediately after drafting another mistake.

Just saying.

i mean when you're signing free agents you can only go on A. what they've done in the past and B. how you think they'll fit in your system.

I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to say here. But I will say that when bringing in FAs, 9 times out of 10, it's a temporary fix and not a long term solution. Which has been the case with Hurney and FA WRs. He's always look for a long-term solution to WRs in the draft. And he's failed miserably.

That's my opinion. Hurney should go, now's the time to do it since we're dumping Fox as well.

You don't think Hurney should be fired. You think he's done a good job with the QB & WR positions (I still don't see it). But that's your opinion.

I ready to go to other threads, so I'll leave it there.

The only reason it's a huge problem if you can't evaluate draft talent at a position is if you're unwilling to remedy those issues through other means. There are no GMs that are perfect at drafting all positions, but the good ones aren't afraid of patching holes through any means necessary.

Is there a particular GM you are after out there...? Or is this just a "anyone would be better than Hurney" response...?

I don't think Hurney has done well with WR or (in recent years) with QB. However, I think part of that is the coaches here, and part of it is that he may just not be the best at drafting WRs. I do not think that fault earns him a firing. You do. Oh well.

      NFLTR: Panthers Offseason:Team Needs, pending free agents, draft picks

      By MHS831 · Posted

      If we don't go OT, we will regret it.  What bothers me?  Are we going to get a starting-caliber OT at 19?  I think the draft is solid at OT, and the more I read up and watch video, the more I watch Lomu, the more I want him.   I see Freeling as a RT who needs some work in run blocking (since we need to run first, maybe not a good fit) and I see Proctor ending up as a Guard.  After Lomu (assuming Mouigia and fanu are gone), I think we wait until round 2.  In round 2, there are about 3-4 I like (Zuhn--good pass blocker and VERY underrated right now; Tiernan is a very good pass blocker as is Miller from Clemson, but both are not good in the run game.  Max Ixxxxx from Ariz St is impressive too---technically, there is not a of difference in these second tier guys--good in pass pro, need work in the run game.   If we wait until round 2 for an OT, we probably need to sign Nijman and start him early.   I almost think this is what we should do if Lomu is gone.  There is a big dropoff after him, imo, and I think we'd get better value if a stud ILB or edge is there.  Someone like TJ Parker Clemson makes sense. If Lomu is gone, trading back might be the play.

      I understand that some people want WR. I am solidly against using yet another high pick there. Coker is pretty good and we used No picks on him.  What I think we really need at WR is a little bit of a Smitty lite. It is ridiculous to say let’s get a Smitty because you just can’t do that, but someone not tall and long striding but more in his mold. I think we’d have a pretty well rounded group.    Looking at tackle, with replacing Moton looming, it just seems like the no brainer.  You fill in Icky short term. Depending on how he recovers, and how the new guy plays, you go from there. A tackle at 19 is most likely either a LOT, a ROT, or a big talented guard, at worst. We will need all three in the next couple of years.  I would love to have a stud ILB be there at 19 but the OL is the responsible thing to do I believe.
