The questions we should be asking...

Just read the article about Sal Pal and his interview with hurney. He mentioned at the end of the interview that he feels that the Panthers are going to take Newton. He even threw out some quotes from Hurney talking about Newtons past and his drive for greatness. Here's my question...why did sal only ask about newton???

I understand he is probably going to be the pick but it seems that the media is constantly asking about him...I don't even recall a time where hurney or Rivera bring up newton without being asked first. It scares me the Hurney still doesn't know who to pick...I think that means they want to trade down and if they aren't able to then they take newton. But here's another question...how comfortable are you with a guy if you'd rather trade back than take him??? If we were 100% sold on newton I can't imagine giving that pick away bc you lose newton. Either hurney is an idiot or he is a genius...I personally have no clue which it is...

I also really really really do not think Hurney knows who he wants to pick at all

If there in fact is this much questioning around Cam in Hurney's eyes, why risk your job on it after it was just saved and you're on thin ice?

I dunno. fuc k

You ask questions as reporters not looking for direct answers but the indirect ones. What does he say and not realize it and what does he not say which is something important within itself. GMs have every bit the power to steer the conversation as well.

Will he be on thin ice if he passes on Cam and Cam is great and wins a super bowl while we are still trying to figure out how to get out of the NFC South cellar?? I sure hope so.

Hurney wants to trade out, but is starting to realize he cannot. I think the press conference today was to let everyone know that he may put the trade chart down if a deal helps the Panthers. I think he would take a second to trade down 3-4 spots.

    • lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

    • Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
