Hurney’s defense of Newton is especially notable because he’s known to be the only remaining supporter of Jimmy Clausen in the Panthers’ building. He used the 48th overall pick on Clausen in 2010, and it’s hard to imagine Hurney signing off wholeheartedly on another quarterback at No. 1 in this year’s draft.

In response to the critisim of this year's QB class Hurney said, "Shoot, at this time last year there were teams that didn't know whether to take Sam Bradford or Jimmy Clausen." Mac was talking about how there was no Matt Ryan or Bradford in this years class. I think that is your answer to whether Hurney thinks Clausen is a franchise QB.

That shows we have the worst GM in all of pro football if he honestly believes that. There were NO other GM's that thought Clausen could carry Bradfords jock

That was the debate from the combine up until draft time. I for one wasn't sure seeing as to how bradford was injuried all season and clausen looked ok.

I for one thought we had a steal. Clausens been the can't miss prospect from highschool all the way until the draft.

I know, I felt that way, too. Still could be, you never know. Stranger things have happened.

...yeah nevermind. Not gonna happen.

marty definitely went out of his way to defend cam...first he made it clear nawrocki has never even spoken with cam...then saying that we hold the number 1 pick and he hasn't even talked to him...marty seemed a little annoyed when talking about nawrocki the whole segment...i don't think it's a smokescreen, i think we have cam at the top of our board and hurney is just saying we don't care what anyone outside of our staff thinks about cam b/c we think highly of him

    • No, the casual fan gets sucked into THIS^^^ kind of thinking, and it's so woefully incorrect that it's almost sad. The first is what I've said numerous times, NOTHING about non guaranteed contracts save the billionaire owners a single penny, because they still have to spend their cap floor, and the only reason teams ever don't spend the full limit, is to then roll it over into the next season to be able to spend more that year. But in the end, owners pay the same amount of money no matter what. The reverse is also the same, that the players in totality make the same amount of money as well, because in your example of Clowney not getting that money this year, it will go to another player, as the cap needs to be spent. And you say how we just cut Clowney after we gave him the 2 year contract, but everyone including Clowney's agent and himself, knew when it was signed, that it was more likely to be a 1 year contract than a 2 with how it was structured.  The 2nd year was just to be able to spread out the cap hit and he was always most likely going to end up getting traded or cut. It's why agents and players don't care about the total money in a contract, it's always and only been about the guaranteed money, as the years and overall value are meaningless, always have been, always will be.
    • Agents will have their 1st round picks hold out until the pay structure of their contract is to their liking, not how much money they'll get or even how much is guaranteed, just the when/how they will get the money over the course of the contract. If they're willing to recommend those players hold our, do you really think they won't do it for 2nd rounders to guarantee them an extra 10% of their entire rookie contract?
