Hurney on FNZ now

[Mr. Scot]

LOL, you have to respect the fact that Hurney will sit there and listen to all that crap.

Coming often from people who have no clue what they're talking about, to be honest.

People expecting really specific answers about strategic questions remind me of the media in that old SNL skit about gulf war press briefings.

Yeah, most of the folks that call into give him crap have no clue what they're talking about... I think Hurney shows incredible restraint when responding to some of those calllers, not sure I would.

It's funny when people call in wanting him to discuss Kolb... HE'S UNDER CONTRACT YOU FRIGGIN MORONS!

Reminds me of the questions the press were asking Rumsfeld immediately after 9/11, "so when and where are we going to attack?"

[mav1234]

I dunno, if Hurney just told me exactly what they were considering at all times, next season I could tell him exactly what he should have done.

[Malachias]

He's pretty confident that Panthers are going to turn thing around quickly.

what else is he supposed to say? he can't come out and say: you know what, this team is a trainwreck and it'll take years to turn this ship around.

[Mr. Scot]

If he actually answered some of the questions people want him to, he'd become the most popular radio personality among opposing GMs for sure

I distinctly remember a story about Polian shutting his weekly radio appearance down after Colts fans were giving him the kind of crap Hurney was taking.

Happily, Hurney's personality is a lot different than Polian's.

Polian once threw a chair at an agent after a contract negotiation got testy.

Yup, I knew Polian had a temper but I'm learning how bad of a temper he has reading that book about the Panthers first season.

Why Armani Edwards? Lots of blah blah, thinks he is a play maker and will contribute at WR. Missed his answer on why he didn't see the field last season.

last year at some point he addressed this by saying Armanti lost his legs.. WR requires a lot of running compared to QB, so they focused on getting him in shape on that level..

paraphrasing of course..

Yeah, there's a lot in there. I liked the story about Jerry Richardson passing him a note in the middle of a negotiation with C-A-L-M written on it in big letters

[chknwing]

Please, for the love of god, some one give hurney some cough drops.

[SOJA]

I thought the same thing, it's like he's trying to prepare the fan base for the idea that we might trade down.

which wouldn't be that bad of an idea in my mind

[MadHatter]

Agreed.

If we get the opportunity to trade down (and get decent compensation) we definitely should trade down. There is no consensus top pick in this draft and we have several needs. Anyone who does not see and understand this should just turn in their Football Card and start watching women's lacross.
