Hurney Magic

This offseason the Panthers signed Mike Tolbert to upgrade over Goodson, whom was traded to the Raiders for Campbell whom is depth at the RT position for when Jeff Otah is traded to the Jets for a draft pick to make up for trading a draft pick to the same Raiders for Louis Murphy to sure up our receiver corps. Traded a fumble machine and a cripple to get a viable receiver who can block and a solid backup with potential (All at no cost!) and signed a beast on the cheap. What a day.

It's almost as if it was all planned out from the beginning. Dump off dead weight to make the roster better not just on offense but special teams as well. Give Hurn-dawg props where it is due. :clap:

Didn't think this needed its own thread, so I'll drop it here as it could relate to some potential Hurney Magic.

Think he knows something we don't?

Maybe, but lets sit on that one before we make assumptions. Too many assumptions today, hurts my brain.

Cripple for a WR who just had a recent injury himself this past season. If that is true what some people said. Yes decent trade. But only if Murphy doesn't get hurt again and he can produce. Then the trade is all worth it.

We waited too long to get rid of Otah (former 1st rounder who we gave up picks for) and could only get a 7th for him. Hurney is Hurney. Not terrible, not great. Somwhere in the middle. Only magic he has is staying average.

this is true.. It's not Hurney Magic because that would imply Hurney can do the impossible, and that is what it would take for Hurney to be respected by some..

I think that's the expectation the coaching staff has as well... after all, our current rookie 7th round pick may not even make the team, so if all we lose is a 7th for Murphy (worst case scenario) then so be it.

      If you could add one player from any team in the NFL to the 2025 Panthers to make them Super Bowl contenders, who would it be?

      Neither Barkley nor even a healthy CMC would move the needle much for us. Those are guys that impact teams that already have impressive overall offenses and defenses, so they can perform the complimentary roles that make them actually valuable. We should know that specifically because CMC almost never moved the needle on bad Panthers team after bad Panthers team. Ask Giants fans about that with Saquon.

      I would generally disagree. You see a lot more load management than previously but that is because being healthy in the playoffs is such a key factor. Different philosophies in that regard than previous generations.  Baseball really doesn't matter until at least halfway through the season. I am not gonna say they don't play hard but the physical demands are infinitesimal in the MLB in comparison to basically any other major pro sport.  People dislike all the shooting these days but that's a direct correlation with how much the overall skill level of the average NBA player has drastically risen over the past 15ish years. There are other aggravating factors, certainly, but that is the biggest one in terms of playing style differences. So many of the guys from the 80's and 90's wouldn't even be able to play in the modern NBA at all. The biggest problem the NBA has with the American market(they are the only US sport that has any real international appeal or interest, minus the NHL) is that they are so steadily corrupt and fix the systems against the small market teams. Well, you eventually lose a big chunk of the league viewership/potential viewership in the process. Take the very obviously fixed NBA draft lotteries. Superstar and upper tier star players rarely want to play for small market teams, nor can they usually afford to pay them. So how do you expect them to possibly compete in that environment?
