Jake Delhomme as a GM

Let's be clear up front. I'm not saying that we should consider Jake Delhomme for the GM position.

I'm saying that you could make an argument we already have him.

Here's a group of statements that you could make about Jake Delhomme that could apply just as easily to Marty Hurney:

- Capable of making moves that leave fans saying "How the heck did he pull that off?"

- Equally capable of making moves that cause fans to say "What the @&%$ was he thinking?"

- Known as much for character as for ability; very well-spoken in interviews and segments

- Seemingly teflon, always managing to escape the consequences of big mistakes

- Never one to place blame on anyone else but himself, even when the mistakes may not actually have been his

- Not flashy, not big money, but still willing to take risks and gamble

- Extremely loyal to the organization, and sees that loyalty rewarded

It almost makes it easier to understand why Hurney held on to Delhomme for longer than he should have.

When you look at the way they do their jobs and go about their business, they're essentially the same guy.

And?

And are you content with that?

I like Hurney, but I don't really see him ever becoming one of the great personnel men of the league. I think he'll always be good, but like Delhomme, the ceiling may stop there.

Jerry Richardson seems comfortable with that.

Are you?

well, we all know what eventually happened to Jake....eventually the INTs did catch up to him. I think Hurney's time could very well be coming......even if he hits on Cam (I think his other picks could prove to be costly).

If he hits on cam hurney will retire here.

hitting on guys in the 1st round has never impressed me.....

Hurney has always hit on guys int he 1st round....it is 2-7 where he falls apart. Teams are built in rounds 2-7.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      By Basbear · Posted

      You have gave the board some recent gold via posting. Heres my poor attempt at the truthful play-by-play of the time during post- I pulled out the old laptop to do my shitposting and check on websites. Open the huddle and see this new thread. Open thread and read CRAs post, {inner thinking, oooOOooo this is my lane and I got this}. Make sure not to scroll even to the 2nd post. 23% of current neurons still firing start up and two names appear- Captain and Josh....... about another 43 seconds past "O GOD" it's July 4th weekend and I got medicine to pick up. (If the laptop didn't give away my aging, the meds should...) I need to split, think long panther careers and the hint-  Ryan Kalil was a late 2nd and Pro bowls(even all-pros too) he's got to be OLman and Mikie Minter is among the all-time Panthers career leaders. Drop my post. Scramble to get keys, wallet, and phone. Check my phone- its 17% battery.....fug I now have to raw dog the pickup line and put the phone on charge.... Flip flops, sweat ringed filled hat, and shades acquired. Get in my pos rav4 and think about not running the A/C. Pull out the drive way and reach the 1st stop light, A/C is wide open. I check my shirt to see if there's any new stains on my house shirt, bush off the Bojangles salt that I see.... Neurons re-fire and focus on the comments CRA made that no one would get this....... Dang IT, that means it isn't Ryan Kalil or Mike Minter! CVS is close, but I know its impossible I get back withing 10 minutes to change my post and my phone is on the charger. {Think you monkey, at one point you were a draft nerd}. Reach the CVS line, by some grace its not 5 cars deep during 5 o'clock traffic hell. Im second in line after the car in front of me both turn in, they have to go back and forth to line up while Im a pro for that geometry. Neurons finally reach peak performance as Ive re-thought draft classes. Think obscure and unknown 7th rounders with long careers. Some Sunday/Monday night member berry fell out of my Melon, Will montgomery during the players intros for washington. I thought he out of the league and was shocked to see him still playing around the 2015 years. I do a goggle background check and that refreshed memory. Pick up the meds and enjoy the sweet smelling cool CVS air. Driving back and check in on one of the local bums at the big stop light, wow he's got a new fancy rug. Think about all the old food I got and need to start giving it away and rethink it. Reach home and post a follow up and I know Minter is wrong too, I check the draft history and see Robert Mcclain. Too late, but that would have been my guess....open CRAs link and get "upset" at the DBs name.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Basbear · Posted

      THANKS my guy! Keeping up with this threads theme, if I view a thread and there's only 20 posts and some time passes. If I see there's one new post and read the name; @Dave Gettleman's Shortsis among the chosen few that I will reopen that thread just to see what you posted.    Thanks again, plus not just a scout, thats scotty mccloughans son?!?!? If not for the deep claws of booze, scotty is among the best talent finders this league has recently had. Last I heard he ran a consulting business. Caden could be one of those who's on a early path to being a GM in the future. I was a big fan of his dad, dam shame about booze demon ruining his career.
