1.How many GM's do you rank above him?

2.Would you rather have fired Hurney and kept Fox?

3.In the seasons we missed the playoffs under his and Fox's tenure(02,04,06,07,09,and 2010) do you feel like he was to blame for not supplying Fox with enough talent?

4.Did he do a bad job in building a team based of Fox's preferences?

5.Outside of trading up for Edwards and Brown what do you deem as his biggest failures and think he did them against Fox's will?

6.In our worst season under his era as GM (2010),do you not think this happened due to Richardson prepping for the lockout?

7. What are the biggest free agent additions you think we missed on because of him?

The only problem I have with Hurney is the Edwards and Brown trades. They were both well beyond stupid. The Delhomme extension was weird. Other than that I am good with him, so I will not participate.

I agree the Edwards trade was dumb, but I also believe Fox at minimum was on board with the Brown trade if not the driving force behind it. I'd also argue he had a hand in the Delhomme extension.

7. Depth is what we missed out on....team has had little for a number of years. Not about one FA, all the bigger than needed contracts prevented us from better depth.

So when the injury bug has hit us it hurts....bad.

because we don't know the dynamic between hurney and fox, we don't really have much insight into which one of them was after a certain player, when they disagreed, etc. as such I am giving him a clean slate with rivera. so far so good.

OP.. its obvious you are trying to shift blame on Fox, but the reality is Fox won more with The Golden Calf of Bristol than Rivera could do with the team Hurney gave him...

I dont understand people who were glad to get rid of Fox, but happy to keep Hurney

1. is it Rivera's fault we had 2 rookies starting at DT, a position that most people agree takes about 2-3 years to develope in

2. was it smart to have no true back up for T. Davis who was coming off of 2 ACL injuries?

3. is Rivera responsible for having only 1 good CB (Gamble) to put on the field?

Also, I am in total agreement with the build through draft-supplement through free agency philosophy.

I agree with it only if you have a coach that can make it work. I think you should work to your coaches strengths. Rivera seems the man for the job while Fox needed Vets to win.

No stat ever tells a full story...

Fox won 2 more games than Rivera in a weaker conference in a craptastic division.

2 wins doesn't = proof of better coaching

      Moton Meets the Press

      By TD alt · Posted

      One thing about it, he's not thinking about retiring. I found it odd that some Huddlers were taking rumors and running with them, imagining a slow down and "up-playing" injuries. Moton feels great and is still in his prime according to him, and his game is still indicative of his thoughts.  Sure, it may ultimately come down to economics, but I am sure that everyone involved is motivated to keep him in Charlotte.

      Moton Meets the Press

      I think the knee stuff with Moton has been blown way out of proportion. The exact quote was “It’s chronic stuff. Most linemen deal with it. But it’s just figuring out what we can do to make sure it’s limited and I’m still able to explode off it, which right now I can and I feel like I can in the future,” After a while, you start learning more about it and what can we do to make sure it’s as little of an issue as possible. I feel like I’m moving like I was when I was younger.” I don't view that as a guy who's saying his knees are on their last leg I see that as a 10-year NFL olineman saying that obviously after 10 years of playing a really physical sport, he's never truly gonna be 100% healthy again and he's gonna need to spend more time with the training staff to ensure his body can continue to perform at a high level. I think Moton has another 3 to 5 years left if he wants to continue playing.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By kass · Posted

      So much crying. Tiresome. All of you should have had enough time to come to terms with the team picking up his 5th year...
