Record under GM Marty Hurney by the numbers


Sam Mills Fan

Recommended Posts

Cumulative regular season/playoff record since he became the GM in 2002: 80-79 (50.3%)

Past 5 years (2006-2011): 39-51 (43.3%)

Past 3 years (2009-2011): 12-29 (29.2%)

Past 2 years (2010-2011): 4-21 (16.0%)

Worst special teams in football in the past 20 years, worst defense in the league this year, and just one torn ACL in Cam's knee from having the worst offense. A record that gets worse and worse as you go along, only 1 game above .500 under his watch even when you count the great years prior to 2006.

...And people say this guy is a good GM?

from 2008-2010 hurney did a horrible job and we're feeling the effects of it today

bad drafting, no FA acquisitions worth a poo, bad trading, etc.

Jeff Otah, Everette Brown, Jimmy Clausen. ...those were players we traded up to get and/or our first picks in a draft. When your philosophy is to build through the draft you're not going to win picking like that. If we draft Kalil or Martin in 2012 (because, well byron bell is like the worst OT ever) we'll be replacing the guy we traded up for just a few years prior, and we might have to do it because byron bell is terrible and should be a 2nd stringer in the CFL. This is how other positions that need help (e.g. the entire defense) get ignored.

He's not. He got a rookie Head coach and bet the farm on a rookie QB #1 draft pick. Always a crap shoot.

But then he picked one that can't run an NFL style offense which means we keep our running backs running out of the pistol. AWESOME!

Aj green and later draft QB = win!

Matt Moore + Steve Smith + AJ Green and better O-line = win.

Hope he can figure it out next year. Hope Cam can figure out how to run an NFL style offense. Stewart's going to be out though.

But he drafts those awesome 7th round picks that wouldn't start for any other team.

He also leads the league in drafted players retained, never mind how bad they are, they are starting and that's what matters.

Oh and those awesome FA pick ups, yup, good for 5-6 penalties per game and can't protect Cam for poo.

Don't fug with Hurney though, he may go on a tear and piss away more 1st and 2nd round picks.

I've only seen the actual pistol offense like, twice this year. You're confusing it with the zone-read option offense.

Also, having the #4 defense in the NFL has helped Andy Dalton + AJ Green a tremendous amount.

Having the 27th ranked defense has not helped Cam.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
