Marty Hurney strongly suggested that Carolina will take a quarterback

Let me say that I cut and paste the headline and I am not sure how strongly he suggested this. It was likely a response to a question by Gantt:

"This is a quarterback league," said Hurney. "Look at the order of the draft. The ones who have 'em are picking low, and the ones who don't are picking high." Hurney added, "This has nothing to do with Jimmy Clausen." The interview was done with Darin Gantt of the Charlotte Observer, the top Panthers beat writer in the nation. Gantt is convinced the pick will be Cam Newton.

Take FWIW

you can't take a piece of any interview with hurney and come to a conclusion.

i bet if you read/listened to the entire thing, at the end you'd be scratching your head in uncertainty...as usual.

smokescreen!

[CarolinaNut]

when was this interview conducted?

Edit: nevermind, just saw it

[teeray]

when was this interview conducted?

The link came across twitter about 5 minutes ago. The date on rotoworld is 4/25. you are probably asking bc it was with Gantt. That is a good question.

Miss #Panthers GM Marty Hurney conversation w/ @daringantt this morning? Listen here: http://bit.ly/eV3caF #NFL #NFLDraft #CLT

Didn't listen you guy tell me, work sucks :(

[teeray]

Yeah. As Panther81 pointed out it came from a quote this morning

[stirs]

old news as Gantt is gone?

Hurney will not even tell you what he had for breakfast during the month of April. I suspect he is talking for the rest of the league, i hope so anyway

Again this is from a radio show this morning.

Will be shocked if Newton is not our pick on the 28th the next few days are going to go by very slow though that's all I do know smh.

Gantt was hosting "the bottom line" on Fox 730 this morning. Had Hurney on. nothing new that we haven't already heard. RW just screwed up Gantt's credentials.

MOve on .. nothing to see here.

[teeray]

Does anyone take anything away from the comment about Clausen?? Seemed odd to me to throw that part out there. Sounds like a guy setting up the groundwork of spinning his pick. Maybe it was just a throw away line however. Just seemed odd.

I listened to the actual interview this was taken from on Fox 730 AM this morning and I walked away with the same impression... we're drafting a QB.

He will make JR too much money to not pick him
