Mr. Richardson

"This was an extremely difficult decision," Richardson said. "Marty made every effort to bring success to the Panthers and took the team to a Super Bowl and two NFC championship games. Unfortunately, we have not enjoyed the success we hoped for in recent years. I have the greatest respect and admiration for Marty and will always appreciate the way he tirelessly served the organization."

Hurney

"I am very fortunate to have been a part of one of the best organizations in the NFL since 1998," Hurney said. "As general manager I will always regret not helping us win the Super Bowl or having back-to-back winning seasons. I hope this change starts accomplishing the direction to those goals.

"I understand this decision by Mr. Richardson and will always have an extremely close relationship with him. I consider him the best owner in the NFL. I am responsible for everybody in coaching, the players, the scouts and everybody in football operations. After six weeks, we are 1-5 coming off a 6-10 season."

We're witnessing history today ladies and gentlemen

Sounds like Hurney saw it coming, it was just a matter of time.

No feeling bad from me. fug him. Get the new guy in, then sit down with him and talk coaching staff. If he feels it best to cut somebody loose now, let him. Otherwise, wait till the end of the year, clean house as far as coaches are concerned, and bring in new ones. Sure, we'll have our guys learning a new system, but I'd rather have that then another fuging year of this poo we're seeing right now. At least then there would be a reason for our struggles other than being inept.

I like Hurney as a person, just not a GM.

Yep, no hard feeling from me towards the man. I think he did the best he could, that just wasn't good enough. If someone comes in and doesn't work hard, then blame him. But if a guy busts his ass and just doesn't get the job done, blame the guy who put him in that position.

      Canales needs to concentrate on coaching

      By Waldo · Posted

      That should have been this year. Tough to sell to anyone worth getting when this crew is going into year 3 on the hot seat. I still think keeping Evero will sink them all after last year's showing. If/when he is scapegoated they need to show improvement or it's likely to be so eone else's problem next year. I do agree in principle tho, it all should have happened after last year's problems.

      ESPN's Benjamin Solak on Bryce Young

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      I've listened to some things that have calmed the "Bryce was flat out terrible" to just "he was really bad" in Week 1. It's Year 3 though, and that shouldn't be the barometer. I've got 1% hope left for Bryce, and that's just blind homerism coming out.  I'm scared that as much emphasis as the team places on advanced stats and PFF that the team *doesn't* think Bryce was that bad in Week 1. Couple that with so many of the QBs in the league looking rough, offense being down in general, and I feel like there's a lot of "what if's" going on in the building instead of facing the music.  Lose Week 2, and we should switch the main focus back to building/churning the roster, evaluating young guys, and hoping our next QB can have a Jayden Daniels level of impact. As we're all well too aware of, QB is a crapshoot a lot of the time. Admit we made a bad pick, and go draft another. And another. Repeat until correct.

      I wouldn't want any of those starting as a rookie on day 1.  That said, we need a vet, that is not Andy Dalton, that can be the starter while a prospect grows and learns on the sidelines.
