Its 100% accurate too.

Best lines in the whole article...

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

He makes some valid points, many that have been made here. I do disagree with him about Lafell though. The Delhomme deal alone probably should have caused him to be on a short leash.

Agree.

Then came the trades, the cuts, the extensions, etc.

Really really bad job by the FO.

So now other people believe it's a problem when Hurney BELIEVES IN PLAYERS JUST BECAUSE HE PERSONALLY LIKES THEM instead of making good business decisions to help you win games right now?

Doesn't Brandon Hogan STILL deserve to be on this team, much less drafted?

Thomas Davis would've been Hall of Fame material, if he could stay healthy, but he can't, so he should have AND WOULD HAVE been replaced a long time ago...if you cared more about the product you put on the field than how you PERSONALLY feel about the men you put on the field.

I'm sure Hurney would be great TO WORK FOR, but will you ever win consistently with him? No, like I've always said, because he holds on too long.

Heart over head...Buddies over business only gets you so far.

You know it's bad when there's even something on the ESPN.com main page calling your GM incompetent.

Granted I don't stop by there daily or anything but it seems pretty rare for them to call out any GM in such a way. Generally after a big loss all the heat falls on a teams quarterback or head coach. Articles on front office personnel seem pretty rare, especially one that's as critical as this.

      Complementary Football, or: How to Lose a Game

      That was when it looked like they decided to run clock, but not all of them realized it was a close catch. That’s honestly on Bryce and JT. they’re both the ones who saw the catch was close and they need to be aware it might get reviewed.  im not sure it would have mattered since it was a booth review but neither the qb or receiver played their part there.  XL just making these works incidentally was just a cherry on the pie.

      How will the Panthers prepare for Atlanta?

      By Diehardpanth02 · Posted

      Accepting defeat is not an attribute that’s relevant to a fan. Player maybe, yeah I think they wanna win. but as a fan this product ain’t good enough to be Atlanta from my observations we can’t stop the run, and we can’t score. They run the ball well. And get the ball out quick just not a good match up

      This.  It seems like the front office is far more interested in coming up with a "find" than fielding a winning team.  As a result, they are getting talked about a good bit - just not the way they want. I still say to take the top draft guides and rank the players 1-275.  Then send in a ball boy, equipment manager or cheerleader to pick the highest player left on the board.  If this was our process, we'd be way ahead on our rebuild. Instead, we get these mystery picks with 31 other GM's/coaches scratching their heads while they do their jobs.  For proof I offer XL, DJ Johnson, Trevin Wallace, Jonatha Mingo, etc. The only "benefit" we get is UDFA's coming in and beating out the mystery picks.
