Jake Delhomme as a GM

[The Saltman]

It doesn't matter if it impresses you or not, no offense. Cam newton was a huge gamble at qb. If he hits a homerun with him as the first overall pick hurney is guaranteed an extension.

Pass it to the left please.

Maybe not right off the bat but personally I would love to see Jake back with the Panthers in some front office capacity once he retires from football. I don't know about GM right away but if he had some front office time for experience, down the road that would be something I could see happening.

The day Andrew Luck stayed in school.

having the #1 overall pick in the NFL draft and selecting someone who is good......again, isn't actually impressive. At least to me that isn't impressive.

I would say Hurney has been middle of the road at best in rounds 2-7.

So what I read is that Hurney and Jake are both stand up guys who make great employees and are the kind of person you want working for you or for whom you would want to work for as well. He engenders loyalty and is popular. he occasionally does some great things and when he screws up, he takes responsibility for the problem.

Somehow I don't get the problem here. All GMs screw up and make mistakes. When you compare for example the number of draft picks we have as starters or contributors on the team over the past 3 years it favorably compares to every other team in our division. Hurney is a gambler which sometimes makes him high risk and high reward as well. People who disliked us picking Newton will dislike Hurney for the same reason. Those who liked the pick and are willing to spin the wheel like Hurney as well. I think he does a decent job especially for example combing the scrap pile and throw aways for low priced gems. He is great in the sixth round for example. Too bad he can't do the same in the second. You take the good with the bad.

only difference is the record over the last couple years hasn't been comparable.

What do mr scot and delhomme have in common?

They turned worthless in the blink of an eye.

[PanthaSan]

I think Mr Scot's humorous post is humorous

Y'all gotta lighten up.....

When you cut vets and don't sign any FA's worth a poo 2 years in a row, it is hard not to have young draft picks as starters. It also leads to 2-14

If Hurney was going to be let go, he would've went with Fox. Hurney is probably going to be here for a while. As far as Jake, a coaching position maybe, but he's no GM. Mr.Scot I hope you did'nt hurt your elbow, the huddle mob might rise up and demand your replacement lol.
