Remove the Brown and Edwards trades and we have 2 1st round picks that could be on team right now at positions of needs.

Hurney is the Obama of GMs, we are the Solyndra of NFL

Or Hurney is the GWB of GMs, and we are the world financial collapse of 2008.

Or maybe both of our last presidents were Hurney in disguise and ...

Aww, it just doesn't matter we're screwed.

Pretty good...JR's arrogance has cost this team in more ways than just Hurney's contract foibles. Quote from article says it all...

The guy who bankrolled all of these moves — the same person who has kept Hurney employed for a full decade now — is Panthers owner Jerry Richardson. Richardson is a former player held in high regard among his fellow owners around the league, but remember that he's the same guy who reportedly dismissed the likes of Drew Brees and Peyton Manning during the lockout negotiations by insulting their intelligence and asking them if they knew how to read the revenue chart. It seems ironic that an owner who doesn't trust the players to understand basic economics has entrusted his team to a general manager who doesn't seem to have a strong grasp on it, either..

That article conveniently forgets to mention that he's had more hits in the 1st round than any other GM in football during his time here.

I agree with you there, but the first round is the easiest round to find talent. Its his misses in the second and third, where you find the most bang for your buck that has really hurt us. Also his refusal to use the FA market to improve the team. All we ever sign is back up scrubs. The NFL does not sit idle, teams continue to grow and improve. We cant just sit and watch the train role by every year during FA. You look at the teams that are consistently pretty good year in and year out. It is the ability to hold on to draft picks, use them wisely, use FA market to fill needs, and do not over pay for players. This team really has a hard time doing these things for some reason.

For the nine bajillionth time: Hurney picks who the coaches want. The cap issues are on him, but the bad drafting is a tandem of the entire front office.

Barnwell usually does better homework than this.

GM is in charge of personnel. Not Rivera

      That's my biggest concern with making him the 2C.  You split up the Aho Jarvis bromance that accounted for a lot of points.  If Jarvis excels as a C, it could help the team even more though.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      The Saints being that high is the one that killed me. Chris Olave might not know his name at this point, Shaheed is coming off injury as well, so 31 year old Brandin Cooks might be your best WR...coming off a 260 yard season over 10 games. Kamara is Kamara, but didn't have 1,000 yards last year and is about to turn 30.  Toss in the fact that Taysom Hill may be the best QB on the team and I truly don't understand Barnwell's thoughts beside seeing the names "Olave" and "Kamara" and going yep, that sounds better than "Chuba" and "Thielen".

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By TD alt · Posted

      Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical.
