Why firing Hurney has to happen in 2012

We are officially the worst team in the NFC going forward for the rest of this year and going into next year. I know that the Saints are 0-4 and could be 0-5 after tonight but they are getting Sean Payton back in 2013 and will again be a force in the NFC. This is a fluke year for them. Payton is just going to get a top 10 draft pick to make them even more ridiculous once he's back as playcaller.

So, going by what I see today the worst teams in the NFC are the Panthers and the Bucs and its really not even close. The Lions are 1-3 but their team is extremely talented and IMO will get it going sooner than later and if not this year they will be back next year.

If you look in the AFC I'd say we are in better position than teams like the Chiefs, Titans, Jags, Browns, and Raiders. But that's really not saying a whole lot considering those teams don't have a prayer of making the playoffs this year or next.

So, the question in JRs mind and everyone else's mind who has a financial stake in the Carolina Panthers is, "where do we go from here?" In the last 4 seasons we have gone 8-8, 2-14, 6-10, now we are 1-4 and don't look any better than a sub .500 team.

JR is probably thinking..."ahh...I'll wait a couple years and if we haven't improved then we'll make the change." The problem with that is that our franchise QB (the first ever LEGITIMATE face of the Carolina Panthers) has a contract that is only 4 years long, which means 2 years remaining after this year. It's going to take AT LEAST that long to turn this into a complete football team and you better believe that franchise QB is walking out the door to bigger cities if we aren't competing for championships by the time his contract is up.

So, this is the year..it has to be the last year for Marty Hurney. If he is drafting another top 10 player this offseason then this franchise is officially screwed and at serious risk of losing the most talented player to ever put on a Panthers jersey.

I hate to say this, because I'd love to see Hurney fired first thing when he walks into work tomorrow morning, but JR has kept him for years and years, no matter how bad the team was. JR isn't going to fire Hurney. He will only be fired when JR is no longer the owner. Maybe.

I said before the season if the Panthers do NOT make the playoffs Marty has to be shown the door. If he is NOT FIRED, I'm done with this joke of a franchise.

I'm dead friggin serious.

Marty has no clue on how to build a dynamic, long term squad. He can't hide behind Fox or the lock out or injuries etc.

Hurney has no business running a professional football team after bungling another offseason up so badly this team can't even get out the starting gate

Whether or not Jerry wants the team to win is irrelevant. If he does not find a new general manager then he himself is the problem because he's perpetuating an environment that fosters mediocrity and failure.

The Panthers have a 5th year option of Cam Newton's contract. We will most assuredley trigger that option.

Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Panthers have agreed on a four-year, $22 million contract with Cam Newton. The deal, which is fully guaranteed, also includes a fifth-year, non-guaranteed option worth $14 million.

I love the Panthers but if Hurney is not gone after this year I am probably moving on. I spent so much of my money, health, and time on this team it's not even funny and if owner does not care about winning, why should I? I will support a team with an owners that gives a poo about fans.

    • I think you've taken my comment out of context as well. I never implied that his father being a psychologist would make him a better leader or make him a psychologist. If your dad is a lawyer, you're more likely to be exposed to law. If your dad is a doctor you're more likely to be exposed to medicine that's all.  My question is, why did you take my comment that way? 
    • Are you guys trying to say that the Cam ‘haters’  exactly mirror the Darnold ‘lovers”? Same people?  I don’t think that is it at all. I think it is more likely to be different people, probably with some overlap. This racism thing, when most of the team and league is Black and people are big fans of plenty of Black players, but have football issues with one or two and that makes them a racist? I don’t understand that at all.   I will tell you also, Sam Darnold at the price he would have cost, and all that cost invested in other areas plus we’d have DJ Moore, was a far better option than what they did.   
    • More of the same, but with actual statistics thrown in with the film review. It's a long one He puts blame on the offense and coaches as well, but doesn't sound too high on Bryce's ceiling. Lots of words but here's the basic summary Young’s lack of arm strength and size creates little room for error in his play. If he takes one extra hitch or is a hair late getting rid of the football, defenders often make plays on the ball or squeeze windows even tighter. The issue is that Young constantly needs to take an extra hitch to get enough zip on the ball when throwing to the outside and he often needs to work backward in the pocket to see that target. What does this all mean for Young going forward? Well, let’s just say it’s not exactly a rosy start to his professional career. It’s a rough statistical profile and his play wasn’t overwhelming when I studied him. Yes, former No. 1 picks like Goff and Trevor Lawrence have overcome their horrid rookie years to become viable quarterbacks, but those are the exceptions to the rule, and Lawrence showed more glimpses of high-end play during his rookie year during the Urban Meyer experience than Young did under Reich and the rest of the Panthers' funky bunch coaches. This is not to say that Young is a bust already, either. His accuracy and intelligence still translate to every offense and still give him a floor as a viable starter, and better teammates, like the newly acquired Diontae Johnson and explosive rookie wideout Xavier Legette, should help highlight those traits even more. But, you take a player No. 1 overall to move the needle, not to just get the job done. Young has a path to be a quarterback who can keep an offense on time with some ad-libbing ability to add creativity and spice to an offense (Alex Smith, another quarterback with a rough rookie season, is a play style and career comparison I keep coming back to for Young). But to justify that 1.1 selection, Young (and Canales) have to push it even more in 2024 and beyond. https://sports.yahoo.com/bryce-youngs-hopes-for-a-bounce-back-season-with-panthers-comes-down-to-more-than-just-his-supporting-cast-140010168.html
